Talk To Me | The HORROR of Peer Pressure and POSSESSION
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 січ 2025
- Talk To Me is an amazing horror film where teens use possession as a new way to party, but the lore of the film and deeper meaning are so much more than you could have imagined. And if you've seen this scary movie then you know it can be very confusing when you try to think on it. So just let me do the thinking for a little while and you can let me know afterwards if I figured it all out for all of us or I have just lost my mind like Duckett.
Also if you're reading this have an extra blessed day, trust me you will need it will all the possessions going on around here.
Imagine if she took the hand and saw the spirit of the Kangaroo and said let me in and the whole movie is just her hopping around
😂 that'd be wild, about like this skit from That's a bad idea.

Best comment... hahaha
This is the best comment I’ve ever read🤣
She'd be fighting everyone and puffing her muscles .. 😂
Or a roach so we watch her fly around grossly
One of the most striking elements of this movie is the cell phone prominence, and social-media factor.
Many people may have not even noticed it, but many modern films attempt to take cell-phones out of the equation altogether. So they take place in the past, or in a remote location with no cell service.
But this movie keeps them in the mix, and incorporates them into the story.
I wonder why that is. Are they just trying not to date the movie? In the future, people walking around with certain iPhones is going to be like men wearing flares in the 70s.
@@MFLimited I don't think it's about dating the film, but how much it affects the situation you're in.
You have a phone which means you can call for help from police/etc.
It also means you can capture photo/video evidence of something rather than have no one believe you. This is something people today would do instinctively.
It also means you can figure out problems you might get stuck in.
It's a major foil for story-writing in general.
@drownthepoor it's that and the fact it's actually quite difficult to display mobile phone interactions on screen, it feels off to see and audiences tend to react poorly because of it
Found your channel because of 1408, this channel is pure gold
SAME haha i thought i was one of the only people that actually enjoyed that film!
Same
his humor is too good 😂😂
Thanks. 😂 the next video got me laughing at myself, going to start editing today
Me too. Luckily we aren't alone
Glad you found it and it found you. Got more on the way
Bro has not only been putting people onto fire movies but also pushing out the best movie review/overview style content I have ever seen
😂 thank you.
@@PolterGibbstI watch/listen to your videos all day while working outside and I can genuinely say you and these videos make everyday better for me.. Thank you bro I Genuinely hope you make it out of the 9-5 for life with this.
Yoo if you are reading this comment and haven’t subbed and left a like on the vid then get to it mane^
@@Ceomuerta Good to hear, I'm getting closer and closer. May just be able to make the switch to full time by the end of the year.
I dont know whether to feel honoured of disappointed that I've seen them all 😢 it's really so difficult to find new good horror movies
The other core theme is not having anyone to talk to. It's in the title. Contact starvation. She can't talk to her father, her best friend is always in her phone, and her surrogate little brother... well. Mia becomes increasingly isolated and desperate for connection, just like the spirits that eternally wander alone in the darkness except for these brief moments someone contacts them and let's them in. The spirits' euphoria of starved connection is the high these kids feel when using the hand. Mia is desperate for contact, which makes the ending that much more brutal.
It also makes her a much easier target for a dark entity to exploit because her defences are so low, and she’s so alone. Same for the kid brother, who is also alone, with mom working, snd his sister wrapped up in herself. She is often mean to him so much that he too is lonely. The opening scene where his mom can’t get him and his sister isn’t picking up, the friend is the last resort and comes to pick the kid up That scene where they’re both singing is poignant because it shows their potential to be happy which makes this film harder to swallow, we are already invested in them above all of the other characters. Great movie
I feel like you’re about to start blowing up on UA-cam a lot. Keep making these movie videos, you’re really good at it.
According to my analytics it may just be true. Now if I can just get my camera and my mic to all work with me I will be doing just fine. Working on another video now with one already finished and ready.
I think he needs to do some shorts. What he’s putting out right now is really high-quality but in frequent.
I don’t think that was even mistreated they went over the 90 seconds. When asked “how did it feel” she responded like someone from inside the hand experiencing human senses for the first time
As a longtime fan of RackaRacka, I always assumed Danny and Michael's first movie would be a crazy action comedy. I never expected them to make one of my top favorite Aussie horror movies.
It is amazing and makes me excited for the future of UA-camrs transitioning into feature length films.
@@PolterGibbst
Indeed. Very much looking forward to Kane Parsons' A24 Backrooms movie.
@SewerTapes that's one of the coolest and craziest progressions to me. Awesome though, who knows maybe one day I'll get to that point.
Have a personal project I'm working on now for a short film. Hoping to have it done and submitted to a few film festivals in 2024.
@@PolterGibbst
Awesome. Any plans to put it on the channel? I'd love to see it.
@@SewerTapes Oh Yeah! And I plan on doing som behind the scenes shooting too since it'll be something I will want to remember.
Already have the script, scene directions, and have been working on the designs for the monster. Looks like that will be the hardest part, but I'll figure it out.
little known fact, if there is a wounded animal on the side of the road you can report it to nonemergency and they will send someone out to assist.
In Germany it’s the law to report hitting an animal. Big big fine if you don’t and I think you lose your license
Where? What country are you in?….. wait, if you assume everyone is in your country, you must be American.
@@averyso6669I wish we had that in the UK, I'll never find out who killed my cat 😢
@@MFLimitedit’s a general statement cause most countries SHOULD do this but it’s more regional
Sometimes they will sometimes they won’t. Even in America a lot of times they won’t bother.
The whole time I was watching this movie I had that dumb meme in my head about a diver saying "there's alot of pressure here in the ocean" and a fish trying to get him to smoke a joint.
😂
Sea weed
Oh, I interpreted that the dad died too, actually. Him getting onto the elevator made me think he was heading to heaven or whatever reincarnation would be in store for him. Meanwhile Mia is forever trapped in limbo without peace.
that would make sense but if it was that way I think he woulda responded, since he was also a spirit then.
I can see that. But he was found alive at the house. I think he recovered.
What also helps this interpretation is that she first sees her dad after seeing Riley doing better, then she sees the family leaving the hospital while her dad is still slowly going down that hallway, implying a time skip which *would* have affected the dad had he been alive, but doesn't.
I'm here because of shutter island and I agree. I thought I was the only one who felt that way. I remember telling my friend that he was being tricked the whole time and they thought I was crazy lmao. Also just wanted to say you are awesome! Mad funny. Great content!!
Thank you. Good to know people are enjoying more than just the current video.
More on the way, gonna try to record a few videos this weekend
Regarding cults and satanism which are mentioned near the end of the video and in the movie respectively - satanism is often referred to as 'the left hand path' which was due to lucifer being the left hand of God before being cast from heaven in Christian mythos, left handed people were often beaten in Catholic schools until they'd submit and learn to write with their right hand as the left was associated with sin. The hand in the film is the left hand which could give some credence to your interpretation. Cool channel, glad I found it!
14 minutes in and you've sold me on this movie. I'll watch the rest of the video when I'm done watching the film.
Oh yeah it is definitely worth it, I know it's on Australian Netflix, may have to buy it or rent it outside of that. Worth it!
@@PolterGibbst Okay, I'm 36 minutes into the movie and I can't stand Haley.
Yeah 😂 it was the mom that bothered me but that was just her character. The deleted scenes actually made Sue... (I think its sue, the mom) more likable and so them leaving it out made it more impactful later on.
@@PolterGibbst The mom's a pain, but considering her situation (single working mother with two kids in the double digit age), I can cut her some slack. Haley comes off as someone who is deliberately trying to push your buttons.
Things got busy and I only now finished the movie. That was one of the most WTF endings I have ever seen. Now to watch the rest of your video.
I dont understand how you dont have more subs, i honestly think youre the best horror analysis channel out there
I figure it's because I don't post as often as I need to. But that's why I've given myself to the end of the year to figure a posting schedule.
i like ur theory on why riley got better but i’m thinking he didn’t like “instantly get better” but that time isn’t linear for the dead hence riley being put back into the hospital bed we actually don’t know how much time has passed. So i’m still partial to thinking that since riley isn’t super bonded with the hand like mia his body kicked off the spirits over time
For sure. From the behind the scenes Riley had to wear a ton of prosthetics for most of the movie and left most of it on for the second half of the movie.
So I'd guess at the end right after the car accident is why we see the back of him more than anything, that way he could finally get some relief.
But luckily it still works well because of wha you just said, time gets really weird at the end. I mean the hand ended up at a different party and there's no telling how long that took.
Found your channel from the 1408 video, the algorithm has blessed you hope your channel gets the attention it deserves. Subscribed.
Let's go! Good to know you and others are actually stopping back by after watching one video. Maybe this whole UA-cam thing will work out in 2024 like I hope.
LOVE this perspective! I’ve forced my boyfriend into multiple conversations and possible scenarios. The way you’ve laid it out is definitely sensible.
It's funny because it wasn't until watching the final edit back that I was like wow everything I said makes more sense than I thought. 😂
I do like the idea of the candle and some other rules being false.
Because it could be because it's sort of passed like a game of telephone by people who use the hand
Or it could be the drowned cult making it seem safer to use the hand than it really is so that they can grab more people
I know Danny and Michael hinted at it (rules maybe not being all true) but I really hope to get some solid answers in part 2.
I always felt like the wording of "we open the door" and "we close the door with the candle" was off. If someone comes in, then you close the door, there's a chance the person hasn't left--you've just locked them inside with you.
Loved the video! Can you please do one on the "Stay Alive" directors cut? I love the lore in this movie. I know the movie is not great but i keep coming back to it.
I added it to my watchlist, now I'll just have to find it first since it doesn't look like its streaming anywhere. Also thanks
Stay alive was a core memory film for me. Yesss
@@elijahmcelroy Glad i could be of service 😃
i believe the whole moral of the story is about letting go if she would've just let go of the lost of her mother it would have probably never happened
This has become one of my favorite horror movie channels! Great perspectives man!
I'm just glad you found the channel. Working on a lot more.
I hope you do a full dive like this on HEREDITARY!! Love your channel brother!!
You know I honestly haven't even considered doing a video on Hereditary. But I don't think I know anything about the cult or Paimon from other videos... hmm may just have to rewatch it and start thinking about a video.
I feel like that's already been talked about enough on youtube
I knew this movie was going to be amazing when I saw it was from Rackas, and when I told my brother he scoffed and said UA-camrs can't make anything good. He loved the movie.
😂 that's great. I'm hoping this will open the door for all the other youtubers to be taken more seriously. Seems like quite a few are working on some good horror movies.
found your channel because of the video on the mist, greetings from mexico, i love your content, plss keep up, you might have something big here.
Loved the shutter island video so im having a blast going through all your vids. Great work man!
Glad you're liking the videos, hoping to have more on the way very soon.
Found you thru your dissection of Possum, a movie very close to my heart for awful reasons too dark to relate , stayed as you have a great understanding of movies i can respect.
Hey can u do "Event Horizon" that movie scared the sht outta me as a kid.
I'll have to check it out, never seen it. Had it suggested to me earlier this week though
Oh that one traumatized me, I saw it when I was way too young. Burnt Offerings also screwed me up, but thankfully it seems silly as an adult.
We know that they're will be a sequel, and if I remember correctly there should be 3 of them, hopefully they answer much more of the lore.
As for the drowned spirits, it is likely symbolic of both how they died and they fact that they are "drowned" in their envy and hatred of the living, wanting so desperately to have what they have and latching onto them and going into the depths of their souls.
My mother is a physical manifestation of the wet angry envious spirits that want more life. She is a horrible person.
After considering it for a time, my theory is that because Mia has a drown spirit attached to her, all the spirits they encounter are related in death. They have come together because they are all similar, or are similarly drawn to something.
Didn’t they drown the witches in the Salem witch trials? Could be a connection? What was it about Riley that drew the spirits? Are children easier to get hold of?
This movie had a very smart concept and awesome ending. I was worried about how they'd explain there's this hand being passed around among teenagers at parties, because it's basically proof of the supernatural. You'd think that kind of relic would end up being on TV and studied by scientists, but it's being passed around different teen friend groups. But in the end they just didn't address that, which was probably better than actually explaining it.
I realize I've been watching all your videos so I've officially subscribed. Love your takes.
You have terrific eyebrows and a new subscriber
Awesome and thank you. Used to get told that a lot in school, even though I don't do anything too them. Used to make my wife mad 😂
Please give us more psychological/horror movie analysis! I loved your shutter Island theory so much I need more!!! Lol
Keep grinding, you earned a new sub
Let's go! Started the next video last night
Okay you mentioning the possible cult connection made me think of an amazing idea for a Let Me In sequel.
What if the plan of the bad spirits that presumably created the hand is to literally and figuratively go viral. Videos of the possessed are probably shared all over the world now, and let's be real there's plenty of very reckless and very curious people who want to try the ritual. Heck, they might even create their own hand to complete the ritual.
What better way for a cult to spread and cause chaos than this? They don't even have to actively recruit people, victims come to them.
Dude your videos are so well done I really hope your channel blows up keep up the amazing work!!!
Thank you, 2024 looking like it will be a great year for the channel
Found this channel a few hours ago!!! Binge watched everything and liked eveyone of em to bust the algorithm 😂😂 p.s your personality seriously shines!
Awesome and thank you. It took a long time to get comfortable but now instead of me talking to a camera I understand I'm talking to you and others, just yall hear it in the future. Really helps to be much closer to a conversation that way. Just me getting to tell a bunch of friends about horror movies.
Wow dude I gotta say this is my second video from you… You’ve got a great personality and your jump cuts into jokes hit different 😂😂 keep up the great content my man your channel is def gonna sky rocket
Found this channel today and your videos are very informative seen the 1408 and this one a couple of my favorite movies keep up the good work
Thanks. Doing the research for the next video now, it'll be on 'The Mist'.
@@PolterGibbst looking forward to it
@ParishArmstead1680 you got any movies I should add to my watchlist? Always looking for something new
@@PolterGibbst 13 ghosts a classic
@ParishArmstead1680 nice. Been a long time since I've seen it, so I'll add it to the list
Your explanation of this movie was one I've never actually heard of (I love this movie so I've watched A LOT lol) and it was fantastic. i had to rewind a few times too just to rehear it amazing
Nice. I tried to make it something original, which was hard considering I didn't check to see what everyone else thought until after recording the video.
I'm just hoping that in part 2 I'm atleast half right on some of it. 😅
Recently found your channel. I think the Session 9 video?
Anyways, really loving the content!! Can’t wait to view more
My man I’ve been watching your videos and I have got to say I love em. Can you please do a breakdown of hangman?
Nice. Glad you found the channel and have been enjoying it.
Hangman? I'll have to check it out first. Do you know where I can find it?
@@PolterGibbstI’m not sure if my comment posted or I’m just not seeing it but the name isn’t hangman it’s the bye bye man. Watched it a long time ago and it’s on tubi
@theunexplained1162 I haven't even watched it. Saw Mista GG talk about it and not in a good way. But yeah I'll add it to my list to watch.
I've been watching your videos for a little while now, your earlier ones too, and they're really great. I love your video on Possum. Please keep making these longer form analyses :)
ok, THIS video is REALLY good! you've won me over
Let's go! Sometimes I'm worried I'm too deep in the rabbit hole and that everything that now makes sense to me sounds crazy to everyone else. 😂
Great channel! Enjoyed watching this before bed. Definitely subscribed. Please never stop making videos
I was going to say something like “guy this incisive deserves a better camera” but you know, I hope he stays gritty.
😂 well I finally was able to upgrade from my $10 webcam. But I mean I'm sure I can just upload it in 144p 😂
@@PolterGibbst Oh no next thing is gonna be showing off your (rented) Lambo. UNSUBSCRIBED! 😜
@@DTyrannosaurus I mean it only took me 3 and a half years to start getting paid from all this, so I'd guess at this rate even the rented Lambo is probably 6 years away. 😂
18:05 again, mia is a terrible friend 😂 her grieving is understandable sure, but she literally sacrificed Riley for her own selfish purposes (immediately after his actual sister said no... for good reason) she was already jealous of jade dating her ex....and then manipulates him into staying with her (she wasn't alone, her dad was there?!) They were completely justified in shunning her! Sorry you're grieving but you almost got her son, Who you swear you love like a brother of your own? K!lled
If you date a friends ex, you're a terrible friend. Also she brought Riley to these gatherings. She's just as much at fault
She also left the animal at the beginning of the movie to die a slow and painful death. I absolutely could not stand the main character, even though her actions and motivations were clear enough.
@@IPITYTHEFOOLZ Right. Mia got Riley killed though. Not his sister and she was also who saved Rileys face because Mia just stood there
She brought Riley to the gathering and told him no. And he was listening to her no because he didnt use the hand until Mia let him. So.... If mia has backed up Jade and said no also, this wouldnt have happened. @IPITYTHEFOOLZ
I thought it would be a cool idea if all the stuff on the hand are commands that you can say to the spirits , cuz wasn’t there “talk to me” written on the hand? (I can’t remember)
I only just found your channel today and I really enjoy it.
I was just disappointed to see you only had such a few videos get on it make more more more more more
ONCE AGAIN.... FANTASTIC ANALYSIS/REVIEW !!! I enjoy these SOOOOOO much ! 👏💯👍❤️
Man I jst want to say as well keep up the content love the vids nd I can tell u put a lot of time in these vids we appreciate you
Grief+drugs= a bad time
I am surprised I did not actually spot that they were all very drowned looking spirits that Mia had gotten linked to, might have just been trying to avoid looking at them though. Makes sense that they are all working together to get what they want, very spooky.
Thanks man, I was trying to find where I had seen that part where she sees hell and being touched couldn't find it or remember. This film stood out.
I love your channel, new sub. This channel is going to go big because you’re a natural. I watched your review of the Christian Slater horror turkey and I’ve gotta say, yep. Most confusing twaddle I’ve seen. This film though is just completely amazing. Some visuals I’ll never unsee and a brilliant story.🤗
I just had a horrible realisation that Riley would have recognised Mia's mother and probably would have told Mia right away. Of course the movie makes it obvious later that it never was her, but it was obvious from the outset if you think about it. Mia, and we as the audience, are so caught up in the emotion- wanting Mia to talk to her mother and get closure- that we missed this very simple and logical fact :(
i wonder if the owner of the hand is still alive? maybe they died during an accident and were resuscitated, and their hand was lost/taken in the process.
this story could go so many places. i love it.
Ikr and loads of potential for a second movie
@@coolcat6103 right? i can’t remember the last time i was really curious about a potential sequel
Such a good channel! Will see if you’ve reviewed When Evil Lurks.
Haven't even seen it yet. This is the newest movie I've reviewed/brokedown. Been trying to cover older stuff lately, the whole process is much easier if I cover a movie I know I enjoy instead of one I don't (alone in the dark video) or a new one that was alright (M3GAN video).
But I've heard great things about When Evil Lurks, just gotta get my hands on it first.
Really great breakdown of this movie. The most in depth I've seen
Don't know how i found you. But I'm so glad i did! Love your videos!!! ❤ SUBSCRIBED!
Word is bond son, digging your style keep dem coming imma keep spraying big dog one love 🥇
That was nuts , crazy movie , awesome job !
Think she becomes another member within the hand. Hoping all my questions will be answered in the sequel.
Thank you 😂 this video took me way to long. But somehow I made the next one in only 3 days, it'll be out tomorrow
New to your channel and loving your vids so far! This is one of my favorite films, but none of my friends will watch it more than once 😅 this breakdown is awesome 👏
Maybe it's just me, but I feel like there's also a subliminal around sex - the party lifestyle, letting the wrong one 'in' having long-term consequences, Mia's rejection, and the suggestion that Mia has inherited her mother's mental illness?
I don't watch much, but when I do, it's usually something good. And the distorted visages, blurred images, ESPECIALLY that shot to the corner of the room where my eyes settled on the closet doorknob reflections that looked like eyes only to miss the ACTUAL threat nearby-- This movie was a fantastic horror film no matter how bad it messed me up.
Cool videos! Not sure how I stumbled upon your page but I'm glad I did.
Me either. 😂 I'll just thank youtube I guess
@@PolterGibbst LOL I'm starting with the videos of movies I've already seen and then the ones that I'm not familiar with are going on my short list. COOL COOL. Thanks!
@@FlowertheSpaceAlien nice, got more on the way. That's all I'm doing this year is talking about movies. Been doing it on and off for a while, but I finally got something figured out now.
Mate I’d absolutely love to see you do a video on The Thing 1982 😊
If you’d like, no pressure 👍🏻
No Pressure? Just a deep dive into one of the greatest film ever made... 😅
But yeah I plan on doing it once I get some more practice in, that's why I got the poster back behind me.
man they really spun a lot of movie out of what absolutely must have started with the phrase "talk to the hand"
Agreed I just watched this a few days ago and it freaked me out!! I watched it without knowing anything about it and it was really really good!! I agree this film was so out of the loop and probably the best horror I’ve seen in a long long time!!
Ugg... okays I believe you. Stopping now, going to go find the movie, likely get bored, and forget about it, then get reminded when I see this video I started on your channel... I'll finish this comment when I come back from seeing it first, uncertain whenever that may be... So far from watching your stuff, I am certain I'll like this video when I do though. = )
You said everything I was gonna say here, so another banger of a video lol
Yo do Trick R Treat next! Perfect time of year!
You're the man brother !!!
Thank you for the video
I love this channel ❤
Watched every video. Subbed.
I’m an old woman , why did you make me watch that movie! I’ll never sleep again😮
8:37 Behold... the amazing disappearing airpods!
Why would they keep bringing Riley to the get togethers?? Eventually he wouldve wanted to try it! Mia just annoyed me the entire movie, she wanted to fit in so bad, if her friend cared about her she wouldnt have condoned this bs nor would shd be with her ex!
Agree. To be honest most of the characters were unnatural and just plain weird ...
Think the directors were trying too hard to be edgy and modern, the end result being a bunch of unlikeable idiots.
@@martynstembridge7714 That unfortunately tends to be common in horror films, especially when teens are involved. I tend to avoid any horror with annoying teens nowadays because they just ruin the film.
RAKA RAKA MADE THIS MOVIE?! SHOCKED !! Im a fan of them, wow i didnt know!
Hand in hand 🗣🔛🔝
Lmfao I love the whole peer pressure to subscribe 😂😂😂
😂 I thought it was very fitting, and maybe it worked on some people 🤣
That would be crazy, if we walked hand-in-hand as you did a deep dive into this movie explaining it at great detail haha....
Unless?
Algorithm is loving u
It is starting to seem like it, finally found where my audience is.
I would also suggest that familiar spirits would know these intimate details because they could have possibly followed the family around
And demons lie so them telling her that it was an accidental s* makes sense because they want more souls so trying to make her trust them they would say whatever it takes
This movie is one of my favorite new scary movies
Perhaps that obscured text in the credits reads as "god liar". Sounds a bit like a cult's reasoning.
I just hope it is something and that it's explained in the next movie. But yeah it would make sense with everything going on... in my mind anyway.
cant wait to watch this banger #
can you do im thinking of ending things next?
I'm working on it and it will be the next movie I cover. But I'm going to try to also get an episode from tales from the crypt out in between.
@@PolterGibbst nice just make sure to go easy
i know thats wierd coming from me
but like just make sure to take a break every now and then
The dogscene aint worth to traumatize yourself with just sayin
Edit: mia reaching peak reminds me of datura trip reports. She comes across as completely delerious.
Edit2: in the end the hand finds her again. And ofcourse she reaches out. Which reminds me of isolation and addiction/escape.
Tying this in with Jacob's Ladder a little bit, the spirits that would want to get close to the living are the ones who haven't accepted their deaths. I imagine they would do horrible things if it meant they could touch life again. They would be the ones who were functionally damned and in torment. Not the nice kind of ghost. To them, the hand would be a much more powerful drug or narcotic than it would be to the living.
Just finished your Shutter Island breakdown. I’m so stoked to see you break this down- maybe my fav horror of last year
amazing recommendation
Can u do more twilight zones I just watch your video over the first episode and would appreciate more breakdowns over the series
Stop hating on Sue. She was completely justified in her mistrust of Mia.
I have succumbed to peer pressure and subscribed
Commenting to boost the channel.
If the spirit is possessing someone, and the candle gets blown out to close the doorway... Doesn't it just trap the spirit inside the host?
My theory about the ending is that since only Mia and Riley went over the time limit, they were the only ones who suffered from 'long-term' possession of two different spirits in the hand
Since the spirits can't seem to do any poltergeist-type shenanigans like throwing plates around and messing with the lights, only influence the person they're holding on to with hallucinations or in extreme cases like Riley's (since he went over a lot longer than Mia) taking some physical control, and Riley was taken straight to the hospital, a place where he can be restrained and sedated if needed mean the spirit in him can't do much as the connection decays on its own
But the spirit that latched onto Mia could only make her hallucinate, which made her more dangerous, since she could be tricked into kidnapping Riley. I think the spirits ultimate plan was to trickia into killing Riley, and then use that to push her to kill herself, trapping both of them with the Hand
And my first thought during the climax was that Jade pushed Mia in her moment of hesitation in order to protect Riley, but i think it was supposed to be ambiguous on that
Metaphors are epic
The hand is like Baghead movie's concept
Spirit communication is SO dangerous.
