Talk to Me is a horror film from Australia and better than expected.
17-year old Mia is having a difficult time, dealing with her estranged father and the death of her mom. Reluctantly, she agrees to go to Hayley and Joss's party, where instead of trashcan punch, the main attraction is the severed hand that allows the spirits of the dead to possess you for a short time. Her friends see it as a social media-friendly party trick, while Mia senses a means to communicate with her deceased mother.
The Philippouses wisely stay within their comfort zone, setting the film in their native Australia, though I'm half-convinced the entire reason they shot there was so they could have an excuse to use a kangaroo for one key scene . But the setting contributes in subtler ways, contributing an unfamiliar vibe not limited to accents and marsupials. It's also nice how the Philippouses drop us in with little backstory besides a harrowing prologue. It fits with the urban legend vibe that no one can explain where the embalmed hand came from, or how it has the powers it does.
