Talk to Me2023

full of energy and spirit. I especially loved the party scenes. all the ritual of setting up the hand, with the amazing actor that plays the guy that knows the most about it. felt very genuine and like a lot of things that happen at real teen parties. the camera itself can seem violent and strong when it moves, showing us something horrific and exciting at the same time.  the sounds too! the way they move the hand, or light a candle, or how the sounds around the person being possessed change around them all make the scenes feel so intense. something made the film lose me a bit nearing the end, though. the energy felt a little bit lower and the “trauma” focused, a24 “post-horror” stuff didn’t grab me as much. the ending is pretty awesome, though. fittingly dark.
