Talk To The Hand: Talk To Me Review

Pictured above is the Talk To Me poster.

So, this will be my 2nd A24 movie review and I am still processing this movie so if this review isn’t great, I’m sorry. Now, when I first heard about this movie which was a month ago, I honestly thought “oh great…another possession movie.”, but no this is not your typical possession movie and I’m going to tell you right now dear reader… I think this might be one of the best years to be a horror fan. Anyways, enough talking and cut to the chase and “Talk” about this movie in this spoiler-free review…I’m sorry about the pun.

Talk To Me is a 2023 supernatural horror film directed by Danny and Michael Philippou (RackaRacka) and this is their feature film directorial debut. Talk To Me is produced by Samantha Jennings and Kristina Ceyton. This movie is written by Danny Philippou and Bill Hinzman. The cast includes Sophie Wilde as Mia, Alexandra Jensen as Jade, Joe Bird as Riley, Otis Dhanji as Daniel, Miranda Otto as Sue, Zoe Terakes as Hayley, Chris Alosio as Joss, Marcus Johnson as Max, Alexandria Steffensen as Rhea, Ari McCarthy as Cole, and Sunny Johnson as Duckett.

The Plot:

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.

Positives:

One positive I have about this movie was how the cast worked so well with each other, each cast member nailed their roles…especially Sophie Wilde, her performance makes the viewer feel what she goes through, and she was unsettling in the possession scene which was shown in the second trailer. I appreciated how each character didn’t feel like just another body count as they served their purpose.

Pictured above is Mia in of the many possession scenes in the movie.

The second positive I have about this movie was that it didn’t depend on jump scares or violence (except for one scene) to make you feel uncomfortable, rather it was the story itself that made the viewer feel uncomfortable. This movie was made to make you feel something whether that’s discomfort, fear, or whatever emotion you get from watching this movie.

Pictured above is the character of Riley played by Joe Bird in a very unfortunate situation.

The third positive is that I’m glad we don’t get a clear explanation as to where the hand comes from, we get hints throughout the movie from the characters, but I liked how they don’t fill the movie with exposition on where the hand came from. This movie is straight to the point which is another positive I have about this movie. It isn’t slow like Insidious: The Red Door or too fast, it is a crisp 1 hour 35 minutes which is a great run time for a movie like this.

Negatives:

Sooooo, when it came to the negatives, I couldn’t think of one. Now I’m not calling the movie perfect by any means, but when I rewatch this movie I’m sure I will find some flaws but right now, I think this might be one of the better supernatural horror films we had in awhile (Conjuring 2 being my favorite one).

My overall thoughts:

I think this movie is worth your time if you want a supernatural horror movie that has plenty of twists and turns throughout to keep you invested, likeable characters throughout, and has plenty of suspenseful moments. I can picture myself owning this on physical media and rewatching it to find things I might’ve missed in my first viewing.

So we went to see Eli Roth's Masterpiece Thanksgiving which was adapted from the fake movie trailer Thanksgiving that he did for the film Grindhouse and this marks the 3rd movie that actually became a real thing based off a Fake trailer (the other 2 movies being Machete and Hobo with a Shotgun)

I had to laugh when they said they were actually going to make this an actual movie and hoped it would be as awesome as Machete and well I can say I wasn't disappointed I personally thought this movie was excellent! I really enjoyed it and would have to say it was one of the best Horror/Slasher type movies I've seen in a while.

your basic story is this during a Black Friday riot at a Wal-Mart like store which ended up in people getting killed including ones important to the the person who would become the killer he returns a year later to terrorize the town dressed as the town's pilgrim founder. that is pretty much it.

Now the movie itself is kinda silly but at the same time smartly written and directed there is a awesome mystery about who is the actual killer and it will keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat and not only that but the kills are quite gruesome. They are rather over the top but you'll be all "oh wow" or "eww, lol" like for example the whole Black Friday sequence is totally insane! I mean it is overly exaggerated and all that with people getting into fight fights and getting stabbed or trampled to death by rabid shoppers

Now even thought it is overly exaggerated I do think there is alot of truth in that whole sequence because you seen Black Friday videos of similar stuff on YouTube and heard news stories of people getting killed like that on Black Friday and being someone who is not American I believe that is what it was/can be like on Black Friday in the States.

Also they even tried to recreate some of the scenes from the original trailer and flesh it all out which is great and you could recognize things in the movie from the trailer.

But in the end yes the movie was Fantastic! I feel it was well acted and well done all around and if you like horror movies then I would highly recommend it! you should absolutely give it a watch. I would say it is one of the best Horror movies I seen all year and I think this one will become an instant classic.

31 Nights of Halloween Horror: day 26

My choice for today was: Birth/Rebirth

I rated this 7/10. Loved the plot, love the actresses, but I wish it had been a little bit longer, and they had added some scenes or something. Idk but it was really really good. Judy Reyes was perfection, but I've loved her since she was Carla on Scrubs, so I love her in everything she's in lol. Marin Ireland did a great job as her character. I don't want to give too much away, but she really nailed the traits of her character. Also read up other reviews/trigger warnings for this movie, because there are some scenes that would definitelyyy upset some people lol. All in all I really enjoyed this movie. Creepy/interesting premise, and that ending. Whew.

New York, New Rules: Scream VI Review

Pictured above is the “Scream VI” poster.

One year ago, Scream (2022) slashed its way into theaters, and it received critical acclaim while being a box office hit making $138.9 million at the box office. It was a beautiful tribute to series creator Wes Craven and as I said in my Scream (2022) review, I almost teared up. So, lets just cut to the chase and go straight into my spoiler free thoughts on this latest entry into the “Scream” franchise.

Scream VI is a 2023 slasher horror film directed by the Radio Silence team consisting of Matt-Bettinelli Olpin and Tyler Gillet. Scream VI is produced by Kevin Williamson, Courteney Cox, and Gary Barber. The cast involves Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers, Melissa Barrera as Sam Carpenter, Jenna Ortega as Tara Carpenter, Jasmin Savoy Brown as Mindy Meeks-Martin, Mason Gooding as Chad Meeks-Martin, Skeet Ulrich as Billy Loomis, and Roger Jackson as “The Voice”.

The Plot:

Four survivors of the Ghostface murders leave Woodsboro behind for a fresh start in New York City. However, they soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when a new killer embarks on a bloody rampage.

Positives:

One positive I have about Scream VI was how sadistic Ghostface was, this version of Ghostface wanted to take out the characters by any means necessary. The thought of not knowing who the killer in a massive city such as New York is terrifying. The chase scenes were thrilling, the kills were brutal, and the dialogue Ghostface gets gave me chills.

Pictured above is Ghostface with a shotgun in the already iconic bodega scene.

The second positive I have was how well the characters were done, each character was likeable, and they built up the suspense factor because you had no idea who lives or dies. I also appreciated how they subverted your expectations in this movie. I’m glad that the killer reveal wasn’t as obvious as other movies.

The final positive I have about this movie was the performances of each cast member. Each character’s dialogue felt organic and natural. The characters were as I said likeable, and I felt so sad after a certain character died. The characters left a mark in their own way in my opinion.

Negatives:

The only negative I can think of is that some scenes went by a little quick and I couldn’t process what was happening. Other than that, I think this might be one of the better horror movies to come out earlier this year (Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed them, but not as much as this). Well, I guess this is just a knit pick, I felt like some of the main characters were invincible regardless if they were stabbed multiple times.

My overall thoughts:

After watching Scream VI, I would like to see more of this world and hopefully we get a Scream VII after Hollywood sorts out whatever is going on. This movie delivered on its scares, thrills, and chills the “Scream” franchise is known for.

The last movie we went to see while we were away on vacation was The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Much like Talk to Me I think we only seen like one trailer for this and pretty much knew nothing about this movie other then it was a vampire on a ship we didn't learn that this was part of the story of Dracula until we read the opening text on the movie.

Now as for the movie itself I thought it was great I really liked it. One thing is the production design on this was really good as was the acting at least I thought so.

Now the story for this is pretty much this The ship the Demeter is heading back to London and before that they make a stop to pick up supplies and some more crew and also get paid a bonus to transport some "special cargo" these large wooden crates as well and they also add a Doctor to the ship by the name of Clemens (played by Corey Hawkins) and while on the ship during a bit of a storm some of the crates get damaged and release the hidden evil with in and the crew begins to get picked off as the remaining members and Clemens must figure out what is going on and try to stop it before it reaches London.

It is somewhat of a horror movie being about Dracula and were I didn't find the movie overly scary it was very spooky they do a really good job with atmospheric horror and as well as situational horror you kinda feel the dread and panic that the characters feel as they are pretty much locked out in the ocean with this creature that is killing them off one by one and you don't know who will be next.

The visuals for this movie were good as well like the classic burning in sunlight was nicely done but I think one of the main things was the look of the creature/Dracula and he does look more creature like in this he somewhat at the beginning looks similar to the Nosferatu type of Dracula but as the movie goes on he becomes more bat like and when you see him fully he is really more bat creature type of vampire then the more human type but he is really cool in his design.

but yeah I thought the movie was great I do think it probably would have been better if they released this in October instead of August. I think it would have fit more into Halloween season then summer movie season. but anyway I thought it was great and if you want to watch something that is a bit spooky and has a cool and interesting take on Dracula then I would recommend it.
