Talk To Me, I've been waiting to see this for a while, the horror community has hyped this movie up a lot and i have to say its one of my favorite horrors of the year.
The premise is that a group of friends have acquired a ceramic hand, the stories of its origin are vague and mysterious, all that is certain is that it allows whomever holds it to communicate and become possessed by the dead.
Onto the things i loved about this movie, the teenagers in it are all the right age for one, they're not thirty year olds playing kids, it makes the whole thing feel authentic and the danger seem very real.
It is full of atmosphere and dread and occasionally has moments of extreme and unexpected violence. And first and foremost the thing that works best about this film is the hand.
Whenever that hand appears on screen you know shit is about to hit the fan. It has an air of evil to it and the way its built up is perfect.
I have no real criticisms other than you could say its fairly predictable but all horror films are, ultimately when you watch as many of them as i have you know the beats they're going to hit, the only important question to ask is do they land and the answer here is yes, everything lands. Its a great little genre film.
