Nothing like peer pressure to force you into letting in a literal demon.
Dead spirit* not demon
Yeah don't do it kids, not a good idea
it is an allegory for drugs after all
There's no such things as Demons or Dead spirits
@@duckarse11yeah... it's a movie ..
Its so cool that the drowning woman that Mia first let in is the one pretending to be her mother the whole time thats why you can hear under water noises everytime shes around. Also if you slow it down at the end it shows that jade actually pushed mia into the traffic to save her brother.
THATS WHAT THOSE NOISES WERE?!?! ohhhh. also, i talked about jade potentially pushing her in my outro but cut it all out because i was like, that's not right BUT IT WAS?
@@shesscaredyup!! And if you take a look at the mother in Mia’s visions you can see that she’s gradually becoming more and more swollen like a drowning victim - probably takes a lot from that spirit to keep the facade going. And drowning itself might be seen as an analogy to drug addiction.
Loved the reaction by the way, always a great surprise to see a new vid from you!
@@shesscared add to this Mia take off her hands of the wheel chair, so her ins't going to kill him. But Jade didn't know about that. How she could push only Mia, if her was behind the chair, it´s because she start to pull away from the chair.
Fun detail: in the final shot of her “mother”’s hands on her shoulders as she’s standing behind Riley in the wheelchair, you can see really thin, cat-like claws coming out from under her broken nails.
@@shesscaredyup in one of the scenes joss says that the spirit becomes weaker the longer theyre around as the body fights back which is why riley was okay by the end.. all they needed to do was nothing. But because Mia kept using the hand the drowned woman was able to keep appearing as her mother (although kept getting worse) to convince her to kill riley so they could have him
Fun fact! Riley is shown to be fine in the end because after a few days, the spirits leave the host (this is said by the brother from the beginning of the film). If the host dies while still possessed they get trapped in the other world, like Riley temporarily was, and how Mia ends up! Her “mother” was manipulating Mia into killing Riley so he really would be trapped.
So if she had just waited it out, without using the hand, the possession would’ve weakened on its own! (something something getting clean/drug metaphor)
This is actually genius
the drug metaphors in this movie were definitely not lost on me
Mi didn't go there, she got trapped in a limbo. If the mother wasn't the actual mother, the girl was also not just an innocent girl. Therefore, that whole "hell" scene is just supposed to make her use the hand again.
The entire plot of the movie can be summed up by one of the first lines the Drowned Lady says. "We like him." Everything else is just her trying to keep him. It's brilliant.
Fun fact: they filmed Talk to Me and Talk to Me 2 back to back, so we're getting the second one soon. And I really hope it's gonna be about the backstory of the hand
Actually the next one is a prequel not a sequel! They're filming the sequel next.
Nothing kills horror faster that explaining all the mysteries
Backhanded
Is the release date set yet
It's definitely the best horror film of the year. Definitely a metaphor on drug use and addiction. When horror uses real life themes it makes for a much deeper experience. Talk To Me uses the themes of drug use, addiction, peer pressure, the pain of loss, despair, suicide, unresolved trauma, moments when we're at our most vulnerable and mixes in the supernatural horror elements, making it an absolute masterpiece and one hell of a horror movie making debut! It's not a feel good movie by any stretch but it does what it sets out to do and it's done so brilliantly.
A few notes:
-That’s not actually her mother, it’s a spirit trying to manipulate her into thinking it’s her mother.
-So Mia actually broke one of the rules the first time she got possessed and stayed for longer that ninety seconds, that’s why she was encountering a lot of things during the movie, which also leads us to the ending, when she threw herself and died, she got trapped in the spirit world of the hand.
- Her father and Riley healed and are now okay.
- The spirit manipulating Mia is the drowned woman she first saw, that’s why whenever we see her mother, she seems to be more drenched and bloated, the spirit starts gradually to lose form of her mother as time passes and appear as her true form, which is the drenched woman she first saw, also you could hear water noises during the film.
I dont think her father survived. He was seen getting on an elevator going up aka he died and going up to heaven. Mia tried to go on it with him but cant because shes "cursed" and stuck in limbo.
i actually think the father being at the hospital isn't because he survived, the Philippou bros. have stated that most answers to the questions people have are in clues all throughout the movie, while Mia is incapable of going through with ending a life (example: the kangaroo, Riley and her own father) she doesn't attempt to save a life either or rather fails to do so in Riley's case. The elevator the father hops on in the ending is heading up, i believe this implies he has passed and is moving on, whilst Mia stays in the floor between ground (earth or hell if you want to include it as its below earth) and the upper floors/sky (heaven) therefore in Limbo amongst the other souls the hand has trapped.
I see it as him surviving since he leaves after Riley is healed which would be a while after Mia died and it would be kinda weird if he held on that long just to die weeks/months later
@@akhorr7560 I get your point but it doesn’t make sense for him to now move on, like we see Riley healed and everything so why now move on and go to Heaven?
@@stolasleong I get your point but it doesn’t make sense for him to now move on, like we see Riley healed and everything so why now move on and go to Heaven?
I mean it could be that because your theory totally makes sense but it’s just it could have been both ways, either him surviving and going home after checking on Riley or him dying and this is him moving on.
Fun fact: the actress (Miranda Otto) who plays Sue, Riley and Jade’s mother, also plays Éowyn in Lord of the Rings and Esther Mullins in Annabelle Creation 😮😊
I knew I recognized her!
Thanks bc that was bothering me haha
I think Riley didn’t have to die bc the “mother” was clearly lying about Mia’s dad being evil, so it’s not that much of a stretch to think she was lying about the rest of it too just to cause chaos
yeah cause they said that if you die while the demon is in you they'll have you forever and that's what the "mother" wanted
yep plus the the boy from the beginning said their hold on you will get weaker over time if you go over the 90 seconds, you just have to live long enough and not interact with the hand.
I've seen a lot of possession films and I do tend to find them scary but Talk To Me was literally on a whole other level of scary. There are some images in this film that are forever burnt into my brain but it's still an amazing film for me.
Riley's beatings have stayed with me for days since watching this movie... 😭
it was so trash
@@yoloboy9734The Box Office numbers say different 😂 and there's a sequel already in the works
The movie has such a great allegory to drugs, it works in every way, from the way teens mess with it in a stupid and dangerous manner, to the real consequences when a kid gets involved, to the fact that all Mia had to do through out the movie was just stop, but since she'd "done" more than she should have, she couldn't stop and every time she used the hand again things got worse, she got more isolated or more tricked into doing the evil entity's plan. Such a great movie. Also always enjoy your reactions 👏
Once you die, whoever "they" are get to keep you forever. That's why her "mother" and the other spirits were trying to convince her that Riley needed to die, because from the very first time she let the first spirit in he said that they liked Riley (this is also why Riley was trying to kill himself every time he was conscious, the spirit wanted him to die while it was still inside him so they could keep him). They wanted her to think that killing him and then probably killing herself was what needed to happen, since Riley and Mia were the only two who went for longer than 90 seconds so they were the only ones that still had a spirit inside them. But as the guy whose brother died said, if you spend enough time away from them, they start to lose their influence on you. If we go with the metaphor for substance use, this is my interpretation of the metaphor of that. This voice in your head convincing you that it's never going to get better unless you die is the way that depression basically tricks you into thinking death is the only way to make the pain stop, when actually the further away from those substances or self-destructive behaviors you get, the more you start to see that dying isn't the only way out. It feels inescapable when you're in the thick of it, but if you can just hold on, you'll realize that it gets better. Luckily for Riley and unluckily for the spirits, Mia couldn't kill an innocent creature even if she did truly believe that would put it out of its misery, so in the end, the spirits just got to keep Mia, not Riley.
I wanted to tell you that I've seen a lot of reactions to this movie, and a lot of people are really hard on Mia so your empathy for her is very refreshing and nice to see. Such a tragic tale, huge props to Sophie Wilde because the movie would not have worked if she was as pitch perfect as she was as Mia.
I think the mother's "ghost" being more and more wet and bloated is a sign that she's actually the spirit that stayed in Mia a few seconds too long. It pretended to be Mia's mom because that ghost was saying "they like you" to Riley. If he died while posessed they keep him forever.
The hand is definitely a substitute for hard drugs. The way it gets passed around among teens at a party, the peer pressure to "do it", using it to escape the grief and loss of her mother that she couldn't accept, the teens doing embarrassing/humiliating things while under it's influence and those things being filmed by the other teens in the room. Also, their refusal to delete the footage once Daniel was no longer under the influence and told them to delete it. Carrying the hand in a backpack and passing it around. Spiraling more and more out of control the longer it's used. The inability to stop using it. The lies and deceptions with her friends. I think that's why the film hits so hard, because you can see what's coming but it's also clear that the only way to avoid it is to stop using the hand and she can't bring herself to do that. Very tragic film and even more tragic because it reflects reality for so many people.
This is definitely a metaphor for drug use. Peer pressure, partying, inducing others to try, losing touch with reality, bad trips, change of personality, being lost in the drug and death.
It's a great movie with original ideas, a great cast and characters, emotional and disturbing, and _no_ cheap jump scares. There's loud sudden scary stuff that happens and frightening reveals but no false setups just for a superfluous scare.
There are so many things that I noticed when I watched it twice. I didn't catch that the spirit was plotting to get Riley during Mia's first possession along with the drowned woman pretending to be her mother. I'm also SO curious at how the spirit that Riley saw looked since he was so shocked that he didn't even turn away. I wonder if it was the old one. They have already green lit the second one so I can't wait to see how they expand on everything. It would be awesome to see it all unfold from the other perspective.
Her saying call 911 made me laugh, might take them a while to catch a flight over
i just recently found ur channel and cant tell u how much of a breath of fresh air u are, i mainly watch movie reactions as my form of entertainment and ur one of my favorites in a while, love ur reactions!
thank you so much, i really appreciate that!
As someone who also watches tonnes of movie reactions for entertainment, I’m super glad I found this channel too.
Got any favourite channel names you can throw out? Always looking for new channels to enjoy.
@@ZrankFappaH i know im a bit late, but my favorites are your internet mom ash and trin lovell!!
@@vamppooni ill check them out! Always adding to my reactor list
“Mother” was a false spirit, the old man spirit was trying to keep Riley’s spirit and the “mothers spirit” was just one of the tormented souls on the other side pretending to be her mother to keep both Riley’s and Mias soul before they were cast out. The brother of the guy who committed suicide at the start said they get weaker the longer they’re in so they’re trying to get the job done before they are cast out
all your glances into the camera this episode were very "Jim" it cracked me up
glad to hear you had a good time 😂
An absolute beast of a movie honestly, one of my favorite horror movies this past year!
Also your reactions are amazing, you’re super fun!
Typing before i watch, but i literally just watched this for the first time a couple days ago with my sister and we had such a wild experience with this one and just how much anxiety this movie gives. For being a horror movies centered on supernatural its somehow more of a psychological horror too! I cant wait to see your experience with this and sadly relive the anxiety with you !!
A24 has once again demonstrated success by distributing an independent film in the USA, directed by two newcomers to the film industry. The Philippou brothers bring a lot of creativity to the table and discuss important themes such as grief, depression, addiction, and technology. The performances are incredible, particularly Sophie Wild's portrayal of the protagonist. The story is well-told, open to interpretation, and all the more intriguing for it. Oh, and the ending is simply perfect and consistent with the entire plot.
It’s a great addition to the a24 horror list fs and these teens deserved to have some karma happen to them. The idea of willingly getting possessed for fun is so stupid especially the mc letting the little boy play when she had no authority to do so. Can’t wait for the sequel and prequel.
I watch you channel instead of watching actual horror movies because if I watched actual horror I would probably never sleep again and have to sit facing the nearest door ❤️
Hell yeah! On a 24 hour shift and this popped up in my feed. Time for a good shift.
mannn, 24 hours?!
@@shesscared It’s tough out here
It’s getting a part 2
Talk2me
Also in a interview the directors said they already filmed a whole story about the brother Duncan from the party scene in the beginning
The bloated ghost at the beginning of the movie never left Mia. Remember at the beginning when they introduce the rules they say that if you go over 90 seconds, the ghosts can stay. Also, the less you use the hand, the better you get-reily being in the hospital actually protected him(the ghost/demon wanted him to die so that they could control him- also part of the rules they talk about).
This movie was actually directed by 2 UA-camrs and it was their directorial debut. As a filmmaker myself, I respect everything about this movie. How it was shot, the lighting, the story, acting, use of metaphors… EVERYTHING. I feel like horror movies these days are so unoriginal. This was def a breath of fresh air for the horror genre. And honestly, movies in general. Great reaction btw!! Love your videos
I have to give you props on this editing!! The cut from riley saying "theyre never gonna stop" to her dad was 😘👌🏾 kudos!!
I thought the title said "TALK TO ME NASTY". Almost had me in these comments like "yes ma'am 🥰" lmao
when her "mother" says, "we're going to take care of him forever" or something like that, it was the same thing that one of the spirits torturing riley said, so she knew that in the end, she is the one posessed and making horrible things because of the spirits, so killing herself was the way to cut the connection with the spiritual world
I do think waiting it out is the solution. The first spirit made it clear that they liked Riley and they just waited for an opportunity. When they possessed him they wanted to kill him so they'd keep him (the little girl in the hospital was probably telling and showing the truth) but just knocked the body unconscious. This would be why when he wakes up he immediately tries to kill the body, because with time Riley would regain power over it. And also why they'd manipulate the girl into killing him for them once he started to gain some control.
The acting from everyone was superior, but damn Mia's dad killed it given how little screen time he had. Hope to see more of him.
Edit:spelling
Yeh you were pretty close with the drug metaphor. The peer pressure and how addictive it is, it’s all fun and games until someone overdoses and they end up getting seriously hurt or killed or kill someone else. Which is what happened to Riley.
I love how there's this offhand comment about the BF being Christian and then the spirits take an immediate disliking to him
omg this is like the 11th reaction video to this movie i’ve seen - i literally edited mine for upload just earlier this week lol 😂 loved your reaction so much girl
I WAS SCARED SH!TLESS during Riley’s scene, has me so pissed no one was grabbing the hand or at least his HEADDD. unsettling and frustrating… i’m hoping for prequel/sequel and i think it’s already green lit!
Me spending half of the movie worried that something bad was going to happen to the adorable dog 😂
fans are getting FED today - you, Zzavid, AND Alanda are reacting to this one!!
Miranda Otto is a fantastic actress! She was in Lord of the Rings as well as Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, among other wonderful works!
Immediately tappped. Amazing movie imo. Its really good
welcome 😌
@@shesscaredhope I have a good stay 😌
So glad you dug this movie, it's phenomenal. It blows my mind that the guys who made it are known for Jackass-style stunt videos, but they make their directorial debut with one of the most solid horror films I've ever seen. It's such a simple premise executed perfectly, and that ending is just the cherry on top.
Probably the best horror movie in like 5? years? Idk.. thanks for the reaction girl it was a trauma for real 🫣
The gasp that I gusped when I saw this upload notification. 😍
This movie is the inspiration why I have been trying to write a movie that I could possibly have made. When this was first announced and was directed by RackaRacka, my mind was amazed. Then after watching it, I was inspired. Two UA-camrs made something that will haunt me for life. So if content creators are capable of making a scary movie, why not anybody else?
about to watch the video, but this movie was AMAZING in theatres!! so glad i get to watch you watch it!!!
It’s a detail that is easily missed but important: in the end, Mia throws herself onto the road instead of the teenager because her « mother's ghost » tells her, 'He will stay with us forever,' or something like that. For Mia, it sounds like the solution to finally be reunited with her mother and so she kills herself!
Love your reactions ❤
There's bits that reminds me of pulse or insidious where the dead wants to live again so badly they'll possess a living person to have some fun again even if it is just for a short time lol. Same with these ghosts lol.
This is hands down one of the best horror movies to come out in the past decade.
This movie is such a fantastic allegory for drug addiction, it's really something brilliant
"Shake a hand they said.... Say Talk to me they said.... Say Let me in they said...." Great now I'm in hell.... The wise choices we make
I feel like this movie is a great demonstration on how execution is everything.
Synopsis: a story about teens dabbling in possession as an allegory for drug use. The concept sounds like it would be cliche and preachy. But how they use that concept as a foundation, fleshing the movie out with compelling scenes and characters, that's what makes all the difference.
Anything can be a good movie if you know how to captivate your audience. You don't have to do anything truly unique. You just have to have engaging characters and tell a good story.
I love seeing this movie get so much love, it was filmed around where I live so there's a bit of a sense of pride having something so good come from your hometown 🙂
This was one of the most traumatizing mainstream movies I’ve seen in a WHILE!! It was literally insane and I can’t stop thinking about it. Such an interesting take on possession/contact with the dead. Also kinda crazy, I watched this 2 days ago and now you’ve posted your reaction! I feel like I have telepathy 😅💕
Me and my sister just got done watching this movie and I’m genuinely so GAGGED
I was starting to get good at horror movie. This one I’ve watch two reactions to and that’s enough 😅 the “self” harm of the kid when possessed was just too much for me
I think the primary actress was phenomenal in this role!
Hard agree. Can really feel her panic and trying to hold it together
The ending is so great but that better mean they make a second one where Mia tries to help from the otherside get people away from doing this because she knows all the way through what it can do to you and how bad it can really be.
i can’t stop watching reactions to this movie cause omgggggg ITS JUST SO GOOODDD😭😭😭😭
BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSS
I’ve been binge watching you’re whole channel and can’t get enough of your content!
So my best guess is: remember how they say "we've never had anyone go over 90 seconds before u" or something like that? And in the beginning they said if u go over 90 secs they'll wanna stay. And if u die while they're in you, they'll have you forever. Well this is the play out of that
I love so many things about this movie. I saw it 3 times at the theater and a few times since it hit digital.
This is an awesome video and I love your reactions to everything! I hope it doesn't get taken down for the gore scenes though. Mad respect for you including them, but idk how big daddy UA-cam is gonna feel lmao
The fact that the writers and directors were my favorite UA-camrs (RackaRacka) makes me so excited!
the opening shook the shit outta me I think I'm not the only one
YESSSS. I was waiting for you to upload this since it came out. I'm so excited!
Riley didn’t have to die
Someone comment in the movie that the effects of the possession will eventually fades… and that’s what happens
The spirits were playing with her, cause as soon as she kills Riley, his soul is theirs - and they liked him 🫠😗
Dude at beginning reminds me of Michael Myers but he didn't kill himself but crazy scene as soon as they got in that room and he'd staring at the wall nope give him some space lol. Of course thAts one theory that a demon or spirit got into Michael thus he becomes the shape lol. Plus they got black eyes when possessed like Loomis said Michael had lol. Dude at work had a sweater like that girl I'm like that's the talk to me sweater lol. Ha ha ha ha ha lol.
I saw this in the theatre and was pleasantly surprised. I think it was so much better than I expected!
I knew when i found out the RackaRacka boys were directing that it was gonna be some freaky disturbing shit lol
What pissed me off about this movie is the fact that all of this is easily proven to anyone, and the fact they don't tell an official so they aren't charged with serious crimes is beyond me. Also, they didn't even have to let the spirit into themselves! Like, not one person had to risk getting possessed in the entire film, and they could have still had a conversation with a dead person!
I didn’t know you had a movie reaction channel, need to catch up
14:15 lmao love your reActiion here!
This is definitely my fave horror of the year. Seeing it in the theatre was WILD😅 some other A24 horror/thrillers you should check out if you haven’t: X and Pearl (X is a great slasher and Pearl being a prequel about the old lady in X and more drama/thriller and a character study type), Saint Maud (slow burn psychological thriller), Tusk (dark comedy/horror and not for everyone😅 but it’s iconic), Men (slow burn thriller and the end is 👀), The Witch (slow burn psychological horror but also historically accurate), and Beau Is Afraid (by the one and only Ari Aster😅)
Ok my theory is that even tho it wasn't her real mother, it was actually true that she didnt kill herself (intentionally), because the whole movie is a symbolism of schizophrenia, and both her mother and Mia suffered from this. Mia's mother was battling with something that came from her mind that night and killed her, but in the perspective of reality it appeared as sew-icide. AND Mia, also schizophrenic, worsened her condition by doing drugs (the witchy hand thing).
This the type of movie for the "what would you do" question
The movie also illustrates the importance of family when healing from trauma (or drug abuse). If Mia's father had been there for her - being honest with her mothers passing - she probably would have survived because their bond would have been much stronger, and Mia wouldn't feel so lost.
That wasn't the mother. The spirits were tricking her
as fucked up as it seems, i want a replica of the hand with all the writing on it because that's such a cool horror icon to me.
UR MY FAVORITE PERSON EVER ❤❤❤
Duckett's brother, the guy who was stabbed in the beginning of the movie and survived says to Mia that the spirits hold gets weaker the less they use the hand. So the water logged spirit that she contacted first was tricking Mia because she kept using it. They wanted Riley too but since he wasn't using the hand they were losing their hold.
I love this movie it was really original, also I think you should check out The Witch, it is a folk/horror movie and if I’m not mistaken it is also A24 movie
Talk To Me is absolutely in Top 2 movies of 2023 for me, the other Evil Dead: Rise. Loved watching this and would watch it again because there's definitely things I know I have missed watching it twice in theatres. Loved RackaRacka for years, seeing them do a movie just made me very happy
10:03 his eyeball!? 😮😮
When we saw what happened to the brother and he's in the hospital who else thought of Glen from walking dead lol
The fact that when she said talk to me that thing was disgusting
So glad you watched this movie. Love you so much
thanks for being here, friend!
UA-camRS make a MOVIE CHALLENGE (GONE HORROR)
Alright friend, I have two more recommendations. The Babadook and The Invisible Man I think you will definitely have some fun with those two.
was about to take a midday nap then this popped up.. No nap haha, worth it!
le monde and the soundtrack and movie is so good
Was so excited for you to get to this one!!!
Now I really want to see your reaction to one particular part of Event Horizon (1998 film directed by Paul W. S. Anderson, kind of a cult classic of sci-fi horror).
I keep going back and forth, its absolutely a stunning movie I just have a lot of problems with that kid tearing his face off but then I guess we needed to see how bad it could get. Its def growing on me. Everyone's performance is amazing and the story is unique.
this movie was also made by two youtubers who are brothers
I'm soooo haaapy you're watching this
i still refuse to watch the riley scene again. watched it in theaters, cant do it anymore lmao
It's awesome how this movie's a metaphor on drug addiction. Like, we think "How could someone try something like this that OBVIOUSLY it's dangerous?" Well, apparently this already happens and there's no need for a evil spirit's manipulation.
Fantastic movie. And lucky for us, there is a Prequel already shot, and a Sequel has been greenlit!
