Horror movie Talk to Me has confirmed its release date for Netflix.
The Australian horror film will be on the streaming service in time for Halloween, on October 26th to be precise.
Talk to me
The debut feature from brothers Danny and Michael Philippou (aka RackaRacka) follows a group of teenagers who discover they are able to contact spirits using a mysterious embalmed hand, only for things to go too far.
When a group of friends discover how to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand, they become hooked on the new thrill, until one of them goes too far and unleashes terrifying supernatural forces.
This review on IMDB is glowing:
This is one of the most unique horror films I’ve seen in years. The plot is relatively simple: teens get their hands on a mysterious embalmed hand that allows them to see and chat with the dead. Predictably, they do not use this ability responsibly, and they end up breaking the ‘rules’. Hijinks ensue. There are a couple of gruesome scenes that aren’t for the faint of heart, but they are thankfully brief. I wouldn’t say the level of scares is very high, but it does a good job of delivering a few jump scares, being atmospheric, and leaning into its concept. Excellent, highly recommend to any aficionado of the genre.
Review
Rotten tomatoes gave the film 94 per cent from critics and 82 per cent from the general audience.
Critic review said: “With a gripping story and impressive practical effects, Talk to Me spins a terrifically creepy 21st-century horror yarn built on classic foundations.”
Audience review said: “Talk to Me has a fright-filled, fast-paced, and often unpredictable story that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.”
The film brought in $72.4 million at the box office from a budget of just $4.5m.
The success of the movie also led to a sequel being teased within just weeks of its summer release, reported the Daily Mail.
