Scheduled to hit cinemas on July 28th, “Talk To Me” is the impressive debut horror film by Danny and Michael Philippou. This possession movie stands out from the crowd, offering a unique spin on a well-explored genre. Starring Sophie Wilde as Mia, a troubled teenager grappling with the sudden death of her mother, the film takes viewers on a thrilling and chilling journey. Mia, accompanied by her friends Jade and Daniel, attends a house party where they are encouraged to play a clairvoyance game using a supernatural hand. What starts as a harmless activity quickly spirals into chaos when one party-goer’s possession lasts longer than expected.
We are introduced to Mia as she listens to a video recording of her mother’s voice, desperate to hold on to the memory of their close bond. At her mother’s memorial service, Mia isolates herself from her family, unable to accept the truth that her mother’s death was not an accident but a suicide. As the supernatural forces unleashed by the group of friends grow stronger, Mia is confronted with multiple versions of her mother. From the motherly figure whispering empty promises in the dark to the truth of her mental illness that Mia cannot face, “Talk To Me” explores the complex relationship between a damaged daughter and a mother who would never intentionally harm her child.
The film captivates audiences with its brutal yet captivating tone, expertly crafted by Danny and Michael Philippou. Mia’s description of possession as a comforting “glow” evokes a sense of dread in viewers, as they witness her descent into darkness. Unlike traditional possession movies, “Talk To Me” delves into why someone might willingly invite a spirit into their lives. Through Mia’s eyes, we understand how this dark force appears as an inviting presence, allowing her to remain in denial and avoid confronting the conflicting truths of her mother’s love and her violent death.
While “Talk To Me” offers the expected elements of teen revelry and supernatural chaos, it goes beyond the clichéd tropes of evil mothers and convulsive possessions. The film presents shocking scenes that stray from the norm, challenging audience expectations and pushing the boundaries of the genre. Audiences may find themselves longing for the familiar spinning heads and vomiting, as the demonic possession wreaks havoc on the house party.
Don’t miss “Talk To Me” when it hits Irish cinemas on July 28th, for a harrowing and thrilling cinematic experience.
