TALK TO ME (REACTION) *First Time Watching* 

The producers didnt want Sophie Wilde (Mia) as the lead in this film. They even threatened to pull out 1 million from the budget if the directors cast her. At the time, this was her first film and the producers didnt want to risk a "no name" as the lead. The directors took the paycut and cast her anyway. This is my favorite horror film of the year so far. Another A24 success!

I need Sophie Wilde on more screens IMMEDIATELY. Probably the best female horror performance since Toni Collette in Hereditary.

The hand is like a drug and Mia is dealing with grief so that's a terrible combination and the spirits took advantage of that. My favorite horror film this year

The mentality of the kids doing it makes a lot more sense when they describe how it feels. Ecstasy, full of light, like you're in the passenger seat. It feels like a drug.

Love this movie so much. It really does show how selfish teenagers are. I think people go in so hard on Mia but forget she’s just a teenage girl who is grieving extremely hard and feels so lonely. She would do anything to hang on to her mom for even just a second. I’m an adult and I can’t say that I wouldn’t do the same thing if my mom passed away. It’s just common human selfishness. I think she’s just a sad character, not unlikeable.

People have been debating whether Mia jumped or was pushed by Jade. It's my belief she was pushed by Jade, it adds to Mia's confusion to what's going on around her in the end, then the realization in the final moment when she hears the words "I let you in" By far the best horror movie of 2023 so far. Such a brilliant debut!

Pretty sure the spirits were possessing both Mia and the little brother (Riley). Remember, Duckett's brother said the ghosts leave your body after a while like a drug, so Riley was able to eventually recover. Mia died while the spirits still had a hold on her, so she was trapped forever.

the hand is also a metaphor for drug abuse. everything you feel for mia is everything you'd feel for someone abusing substances.

In August 2023, Danny and Michael Philippou revealed that they had already completed principal photography on a prequel film, with the story exploring Duckett's backstory which leads into the character's introduction in the original movie. Production was completed consecutively, from the perspective of screenlife storytelling through mobile phones and social media. Sunny Johnson features as Duckett. The filmmakers stated that they intend to release this project in the future. Additionally, the Philippous confirmed plans to develop a sequel, stating that they've already written sequences for the project. Later that month, A24 announced that a sequel titled Talk 2 Me was in development; with the studio releasing the official logo at that same time. Danny and Michael Philippou will return as co-directors, from a script written by returning writers Danny and Bill Hinzman.

A lot of people think the spirit in the brother wasn't the mom but imitated the mom when he was first possessed. I believe the weird bumpy old spirit you see him as a few times at the end is the real spirit who he first "talked to." And when Duckett's brother said over time, the spirit's lose power and then just leave, I think that's what happened and why Riley was able to get better. Eventually if the person doesn't keep using the hand, or the person doesn't die, they just have to leave.

Watch it again. You'll pick up on more. They let the brother go because remember the guy said they will eventually leave. They haunted the shit outta Mia. Only reactions that understand the trauma she was going though but also encourage she was making terrible decisions. I love this movie.

re: the brother: duckett’s brother explained that if they mess up the 90 second thing and a person ends up possessed that they’ll eventually get better because the possessing ghost will get weaker over time and eventually lose their hold.

The actress who played Mia needs to be in more roles like this, she did amazing

Best horror film of the year. The hand is like a drug, which is why they want to keep doing it. Also Mia cannot deal with the death of her mother, and thst fact that she believes her mother made contact with her she cannot let go. However, that isn’t her mother. The spirits are tricking her.

the drowned woman was in Mia from the start and worked with the crusty old guy to try and get Riley. that’s why her mum keeps getting wetter and more bloated as time goes on.

Its already got a prequel! Filmed! Its a great new film and love the possibilities of these creative directors to do new movies on this story. So good.

mia called 2 spirits the first time and the water lady could see the other guy she called for...she went under for to long and they started playing mind games on her...the fact she kept doing it ment the spirits got stronger...if she would have just left it alone she would of been alright

I came out of this movie so on edge and anxious! First one to really bother me since Hereditary, and before that, The Ring. The scenes with the youngest guy were so hard to watch. Can't wait for the sequel! I love y'all's reactions, you're the only channel I'm a member on. I'm absolutely addicted to your GOT journey! ❤

"I let you out" 💀💀 Also, thotdog made me legit gag💀 Riley's part made me feel so damn powerless, to my mind we watched something real. Mia nearing the end where the ghosts were playing with her so much, felt like a datura trip report. Completely different dimension.

I did research after seeing this in theaters and apparently yes, kangaroos really are a huge danger when driving in Australia like deer are here lmao especially outside of the cities

as an australian, kangaroos are actually one of the most common roadkill here between dawn and dusk, many either get hit and sadly die there or people swerve to miss them and they end up hurt instead 😞

I think it's 2 "demon's" that's working together, "the drowning lady" that stayed in her too long gave the info to the one jumping in to the kid and pretended to be her mom. A soul for each

“He’ll split ya” creeped me out in the theater because you don’t know what the demon means by that.

I found it interesting that they said the spirits weaken over time, and near the end, Jade says on the phone that Riley seemed to be getting better and was more himself. At the same time, the spirit escalates things with Mia very quickly to trick her into killing Riley to "save" him. According to the movie, if you die while it's inside you, then it has you forever. That's what it wanted. I think if she had left it alone, the spirit may have eventually lost its grip.

So proud of Danny and Michael, favourite film of the year for sure. Apparently the limbo/hell scene with Riley was a LOT longer before they cut it down to about 15 seconds😅

"Do you have kangaroo crossing signs?" - Yes, in fact we do.

Fun fact: the time she goes in to see Riley and it looks like hes being torn apart, that scene was originally 3 minutes long and the scenes they included are the snippets of what they actually filmed. I actually want to see the behind the scenes of this and that specific scene due to how dark this movie couldve been but the directors were very good at not taking something that happens and they didnt just prolong it through the whole movie, brava 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The Actress who played the mother (Miranda otto) . Is 1 of the best and 1 of the most funny actresses out there . She played aunt Zelda in Chilling adventures of Sabrina and miss mullens in Annabelle Creation and lord of the rings as eowyn and the new upcoming tv show on Disney+ (the clearing) about a dark story about een reallife Cult with a female leader so is gonna be interesting! It’s gonna be interesting and ps I love all your reactions together !! Keep it up can’t wait what’s coming next ❤ ⛧

This movie blew my away when I saw it in theaters. One of the things I loved the most is how the trope of "teenagers doing dumb shit to contact the dead" is done. It's by far the most interesting way Ive seen it done in film. Using the hand and letting a spirit in to essentially get high was genuinely believable. I didn't expect it to be as good as it is, but it's easily my favorite horror movie from 2023.

who's this puggapillar guy you were shouting out 🤨

Literally one of the best movies I have ever seen. Thanks for the reaction!

Very good movie, keen for the sequel. Happy for Australian cinema industry for this one.

It’s getting a prequel AND a sequel

Just finished watching and came looking for reacts to see more people see it, i was 100% unaware of this movie and it came with a total surprise to me. Loved it

i havent felt as much love for a movie as i do this one since hereditary. i had high hopes for this and it managed to exceed it

I haven't seen this yet, and after seeing your reaction, I definitely need to find the full version!

I’m the same about axolotls Bridget, they are so cute and smiley, I really want 1 too…..what a different film, really quite good, great reaction as usual guys…

The actor who played Riley stole the show for me. I missed it in my first watch but watching the reactions, I noticed the subtle inflection when he said “I let YOU in” to who he thought was Mia’s mom. Brilliant.

I've had two axolotls. You need at least a 30 gallon tanks. They are very sensitive to their environment. We moved to fish because one small shift in their water and they would get sick and die. Hilarious creatures though. A lot of personality. We got ours for about $50. The fish have lasted way longer in the same tank.

so glad you guys watched and reacted to this!!! i loved it sooo much and i am always so proud of any australian movie getting any sort of hype haha

"She wakes up and she's just licking his shins" Movie: "I'll do you one better"

omg this is the 5-6th reaction video to this movie i’ve seen - i’m literally editing my reaction to this as we speak from filming Thursday 😂 I WAS SCARED SH!TLESS during Riley’s scene, has me so pissed no one was grabbing the hand or at least his HEADDD. i’m hoping for prequel/sequel

Omg yes!!! Been hoping I'd see your reactions to this movie. Saw it in theaters high af and it scared the shit out of me. Thank you! ❤

This movie surprised me so much! I first saw it during one of Regal's Mystery Movie Mondays. And I loved it so much I had to go back and watch it a second time

We're getting a prequel and a sequel! lets gooo

Saw this in theater and still am unsure what i think of it. But they pulled a Pearl and filmed a prequel at the same time, which i think is cool. How that and the sequel will get released will be interesting. That scene where the bf made out with the dog, back in the 90's I was with a few friends and one was so drunk he made out with the dog. This movie unearthed that memory I had properly buried for decades! 😂 Lastly I find it interesting we don't know if Mia killed herself or if Jade pushed her. Both make sense, but I appreciate the blurred line.

They should do a series with that concept, it was so good!

This was the first horror movie I've seen in theaters because I do not like horror but it was fantastic!! Also, ouija boards were sold as a parlor game for many years and it was only because of The Exorcist that it started being viewed as something dangerous (because of course movies show reality, right?). Since then it's legend has grown because of particularly religious propaganda, paranoia and movies but in reality it's not dangerous. Saying hello and goodbye is polite but you won't get possessed if you don't say that. If you're worried about inviting in bad spirits, (they really don't need a game to show up in your place) then there are things you can do for a bit of extra protection. Tbh it's like being scared that a deck of cards is going to make you posessed.

"This is the skin of a killer, bella" bro ☠☠☠

Great reaction, as always! Please watch the horror movie "Cobweb" with Anthony Star from the boys. I loved every minute of it. It deserve more people watching it.

The second one better be a continuation called I let you in. 😂

I heard that this movie is a metaphor for drug addiction, how it starts off partying and having fun, then you need to do it, then it ruins your life.

omggg i just watched this last night i was hiding behind my jacket the whole time 😭

One thing I believe a lot of people may have missed about this movie is basically it’s a teen movie and it displays how teens will go all the way just for views for example the tik tok momo challenge and how a lot of kids hurt themselves because of it, this movie sheds light on these type of situations, teens will do anything for views, everyone always recording something, it really shed light on these horrible situations on the internet… the terrible friends and how people will do anything to fit in, I’m just a film geek but what go over a lot of people heads I catch on to, this movie was great and by far the best in 2023 with a meaning behind it, it’s not the best one of 2023 but most definitely high on the list considering story telling and meaning

0:03- UHHHHH!!!!!! (Sinister laughter)😈 🤝

Hi guys!! There is a movie called 'No one will save you'. An alien movie that really feals like horror, that came out a few days ago. I just finished and is suprisinly good! You two can give it a try if you want

The end of the movie is creepy as all hell. That’s stayed with me since i saw it in the cinema. It’s so tragic and terrifying. The movie is fantastic.

Bridge: "I would." Cody: *bombastic side-eye*

Greetings from Thailand, I am waiting you for this reaction it’s finally Love you two❤❤

I loveeeeeee y’all! Always makes me smile and laugh watching your videosssss, thank you for making content 💙

I watched it on my birthday enjoyed it so much also love your videos glad you could react to it

Jade pushes Mia. You can see jade's green sweater catching up to mia from the perspective of the car drivers. Mia was fully committed to letting riley go per the kangaroo motif. Jade stopped her in time.

OOH i'm excited to see this one. talk to me has got to be, hands down, my favourite horror film of the year!

“That dog better not get touched” oh the dog gets touched alright, and not in the murderous way, honestly worse

Ari Aster with head trauma 😱 Danny & Michael Philippou: I'll show head trauma😱😵 ...and I'm a huge fan of Ari Aster😅

That beginning hand shake 😂😂❤️

I always thought Pugapiller was British lol. You learn something new everyday

It was in both of them but because she kept using it it was stronger in her so the spirits were trying to use her to get both but it only got her, I think. It's an allegory to Drugs, he tried it once, fucked him up but he abstained for long the hold on him was gone. But she kept using again and again and was delving deeper until it finally claimed her life.

This makes me so happy you guys watched this it’s so slept on and underrated easily best horror movie of the year

35:36 From what I know about ouija boards they are just as dangerous no matter the cost of one. You could make one out of cardboard and a sharpie and it work the same.

🎉 This movie is crazy! 😮 I love it! I also love Puggapillar he is a kool cat! I love you Puggapillar❤🍿 In the second Talk To Me movie I hope the main character thats dead haunts the people that got her playing with demons and hell. That's so unfair that the two that introduced her and other people to hell in a hand, get to walk away. Boooo!! Awesome movie.

I told everyone whoever asked me if this movie any good or how was it, I tell them, “Nobody wasn’t ready for this movie.”

The elevator with the dad going up will always give me chills, it's a sign she's in purgatory, but not hell because she'll still have to get on to determine her destination.

I saw this movie in theaters, one of the best movies in the horror area I’ve ever seen

this one is absolutely amazing

0:03....AAAHH!!!! LOVE THIS PART OF THE REACTION!!!! You guys are AMAZING!!!!!😁🤘

we do in fact have kangaroo signs and crossings, as well as koala signs too!!!

While I was watching all I could think of was “they be gambling with they lives”

U guys r amazing

This was good!

I told myself after seeing this movie in theatres that it was amazing but I would never watch it again. Yet here we are 😂

i really ejoyed this movie and the mental health and drug allegory. i also enjoyed how realistic. stupid and tragic mia and the rest of the teenager characters are. ps.the motage of them getting high on the hand was kinda fire

I LOVE This reaction!

If I had to guess the main character was the unwitting target of the machinations of unclean spirits. At different points you can see the spirits working a scheme of sorts, with each one having a role to play in lulling Mia into their snare. Mia being heavily grieved and desperate drew them to her like a Venus fly trap, and they exploited her as well as Riley for their own means. When she said “they like you” that meant Riley was selected for a specific purpose. If I had to guess, to gain extended access to his body and Mia’s mind. Further, maybe to ultimately reconnect the hand to its owner or something. I think the hand belonged to the old spirit guy in the wheel chair at the end, that’s why he said “you found me”.

I Love watching Y'all I'ma big fan of Y'all's channel I'm excited Too watch This with You guys hope Y'all enjoy

Have u noticed every time a spirit appears, there's an underwater sound? And when she died, the same sound was heard.

I heard Jason Derulo wrote a song for this movie back in 2013.

Cody has for sure seen this movie.

32:14 YOSHI DIED HAHAHA YOU SAID THAT A BIT TOO QUICKLY LOL

The ending was a good touch who knew she would end up on the other side

The sound of water and gurgling have nothing to do with her mom, which means that wasn't her mom at any moment. It was always the drowned woman manipulating her. The kid eventually got better as time passed just like Duckett's brother said. It was just a matter of waiting for the spirits to weaken and let him go.

The Spirit initially in Riley was Rilety's Mom and it's apparent with many reasons: The Spirit knew Mia's nickname, it's why Mia was convinced it was her mother, the spirit stated her nickname that only they two shared and then proceeded to say "I'm so sorry baby, please forgive me." alluring to her suicide, which later the water spirit possessing Mia taking her form said she didn't commit suicide which is disproven with the note Mia's dad gives her so if the spirit was trying to help saying to Mia "I'm so sorry baby, please forgive me" when Mia was in denial about the suicide seems like the exact opposite. It comes up again when Mia aks the spirit trying to pretend to be her mother: "Did you really kill yourself?" And the spirit of course says no to manipulating Mia, I think the Spirit possessing Riley was really Mia's mother (And it's why it tries to kill itself inside the body of Riley as Mia's mother committed suicide and the whole trauma of that after-death in a purgatory like state that would drive you mad makes sense) Second: The Spirits are random people, not all are evil or nefarious and since the hand can only summon one Ghost at a time it's highly unlikely the ghosts can communicate with eachother when pulled beyond the veil by the hand itself. Thirdly: We know or it's implied a Heaven-like state exists in the film's universe as her father is seen going to Heaven while Mia is stuck, it could also be connected with the horrible "If you commit suicide you cannot go to Heaven" statement, which is why Mia's Mom would be an option for the hand to communicate with.

Watched this film the other night with my husband and loved it. Only issue I had was the whole story with Riley wasn't wrapped up, he just seemed to recover all of a sudden.....

“That dog better not be touched!” 👀

I feel like Riley ended up being the kangaroo from the beginning

If you slow the final scene with the truck it actually shows that Mia was pushed, definitely missed it on the first watch!

good film to be honest i enjoyed it , now in my archive.

Keep in mind she held on to the hand over the thresh hold by a few seconds. He went 2+ minutes.

I think it released the brother because she gave herself and it seemed she was dead awhile wondering around cause the brother was almost healed and so was the dad from being stabbed 🤷‍♂️

GOOOOOD MORNING :))
