WATCHING TALK TO ME FOR THE FIRST TIME! | TALK TO ME COMMENTARY/REACTION 

This is how you take a concept that’s been done a thousand times and make it fresh baybeeeee. The drug addiction metaphors really spoke to me! Even the simple idea of her wanting to use the hand to see her mom is such a good metaphor for drugs being used to numb the pain of trauma.

The way they were all so excited about this hand, I- could NOT be meeeee

This movie is the definition of f*ck around and find out. 😩 The way I wouldnt even be anywhere near these kids. Nope.

"i'd rather go be best friends with rue, than this."😂😂😂 you right tho

So the spirit that was attached to Mia wasn't her mother, it was the spirit that stayed in her over 90 secs (the drowned woman) you can tell because you'd often hear the sound of water or drowning and the more you saw her mom she looked as if she was in water or bloated (the weaker the connection got the worse her moms image looked).

"I'm not even a Christian" Great detail in the movie is the boyfriend is mentioned to be a Christian, that's why the spirit lunges at him in anger when he talks

Pugga's son is about to blow up the entire industry after THAT performance! 😭

The dad dying means so many things, he didn’t get stuck in limbo and become one with the hand like Mia did. And the elevator either means he survived or escaped limbo and went to “heaven”. Love this movie

RILEY DIDN'T DESERVEE THAT 😭😭

The part that gets me is knowing how extreme social media challenges have been so far, something like this would for sure get this much excitement. There was a period on youtube where ouiji board and haunted building content was BOOMING, so a possession challenge that gives you a high and leaves you without side effects (for the most part) would have us all by our necks! And just like drug experimentation, there are people who would be more vulnerable to peer pressure and others who would take it too far. The part that really pissed me off was when Hayley and that other guy tried to distance themselves as much as possible when s*** got real with Riley when they were the ones who indroduced the hand to them in the first place.

the opening scene with the kangaroo was to show that Mia wasn't gonna be able to stab Riley, even if she thought it was for his own good. even throwing him into traffic wasn't in her.

“Why he look like Puggapillar?”😂😂that’s crazy I watch both of y’all n he was traumatized by the movie too😭

my theory is that hayley and josh were possessed after all the times they used the hand. cuz why were they so excited? esp knowing what happened with ducket. also i lowkey felt bad for mia. she messed, like a lot! but she's a such a complex character. if the hand is a metaphor for addiction, then she's someone who used once as an escape and then just couldn't stop no matter who else got hurt.

This movie is an allegory on drug use. We all see them doing this and think, “who tf would do this?!” But that’s also how we feel about people who do crack and heroin and shit. They know there are lots of dangers doing it but they still want the high

youre reactions was exactly mines in the movie theaters BY MYSELF 😂

you did not just say that about riley and I 💀

Girl, I've seen this movie 3 times and have seen a handful of reactions. I'm excited for you to experience it.

So I think the mom spirit was always always the drowned woman pretending to be the mom cause towards the end when she would appear she started looking more and more wet, which only makes sense for a spirit who drowned, like when she was trying to get the girl to push the kid off at the end the "mom" ghost was practically dripping wet so I guess the other ghosts true identity showing through

since jay said she was confused about the ending i thought i may write out some thoughts of how i personally interpreted it *_SPOILERS AHEAD_* . . . . to me the ending is basically showing mia in limbo after death (where all the other spirits are that they communicated with while using the hand, she's stuck like that cause she died while still being possessed) she is confused and thinks she's still alive. she sees riley recover and move on, then you see her dad walking to the elevator and i thought this meant he survived but i think it may actually be showing him going into heaven cause the elevator is going up instead of down to be released out of the hospital (symbolizing his ascension into heaven) the bloody kangaroo she sees i think is a callback to the very beginning of the movie, which gave heavy foreshadowing. she was unable to let go/move forward and instead selfishly chose to let the kangaroo suffer (even though i know it's a hard thing to do) to spare herself the sadness of knowing she killed the animal. and now that still rings true because she couldn't face or let go of her trauma all throughout the movie, which led to all her dumb decisions, so now she can't put HERSELF out of her misery due to now being stuck in limbo from all the grief she was suffocated by. then she becomes drawn to the light of the candle and sees the hand. this is in the POV of the other end of the hand of where the spirits are where we were previously seeing the living people's POV. i'm guessing the hand got sold or given away after this incident and is in a different country now. there are some theories that it was the other missing hand they mentioned but in the scene it still shows the left, not the right. so i don't think that's true lol. anyway, she is now seeing herself on the other end of what she was doing before. now she's the one letting people in and is stuck like that. the ending could easily be a lead in for a sequel or prequel, who knows. but also gave enough closure where if we don't get one then it wouldn't be upsetting. the directors (who are youtubers btw and this is their first ever theatrical debut, big shout out rackaracka) did an interview and said there was a long sequence of the ending just being her in hellscape and stuck in hell but that it became too graphic and they didn't wanna take away from the message of the movie by adding unnecessary gore solely for shock value and being distasteful, which i appreciate. to me the movie is a huge metaphor for vices (drugs, alcohol, etc) addiction of any kind you use to numb the pain and also trauma/guilt/grief which typically ties in with vices. there are so many metaphors, so much symbolism. like you said it's a movie that takes a couple of watches to fully catch all of them and even then you could probably still miss some ! also i think it's ironic that the whole theme was centered around an embalmed hand and the overall underlying message is about being able to 'let go', if you rewatch you can notice so much focus on things about hands (daniel and mia comparing hand sizes, mia dreaming of them holding hands, mia picking at her fingernail polish all the time, jade stopping riley from ending himself with her hand getting smashed, riley biting her hand, etc) just a fun thing i noticed. love this movie, probably one of my favorite horror movies that have come out since hereditary and the x/pearl franchise. the acting was *chefs kiss* i can't recommend it enough !

"Is that a lamb" got me😭😭😭

when you pointed at your skin when mia said she will play the game lmaooooo accurate!

Once again the nails are eating!! This movie was so good! Sophie did such a great job and im glad they believed in her. So excited to see where they go with the second film! I also really loved how Jade never gave into that temptation.

That ending was so freaking good omg whaaaat I need to see the origin of the hand or hands I should say so glad they already got the green light for the sequel

Another super cool thing about A24 is, to my understanding, they are SAG-AFTRA compliant. I saw a theory that her mother was actually the drowned ghost that Mia first let in and that stayed in her for longer than 90 seconds. So that is why the ghost (or spirit whatever) got increasingly wet/bloated etc every appearance. I did actually catch the whole water deal with her 'mother' so I really do think that narrative makes sense. Anyway this movie is so fucking interesting and I'm excited to purchase it and watch it again. I'm excited that my favorite youtube persons are starting to react to it, this is my first one to watch 💜

HOLD ON I'M GRABBING MY HEADPHONES OKAY WE'RE GOOD

Might be one of my favorite movies that’s a metaphor for addiction, also the dog is cgi and a puppet, the only real scenes of it in #that scene is when it walks up and licks his cheek and when it’s walking away from him

Jesus Christ himself could not get me to touch that hand. I don't even want to be in the same house. 😭

i was waiting for this reactionnnn you just made my whole day better

You were correct on flatliners and this is def a contender for horror of the year. So cool youtubers made this too. ❤

Thank you so much, Jay! i have been waiting on THIS!!!😊

Sophie wild, hope to see her a lot more, she is very talented and a real beauty! love her accent too...

12:02 one boy one dog 😂🤣🤣

Saw this in theaters recently 😭 so glad you reacted

The puggapillar slander!!! 🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀

Jay, I thought the same thing. He looks like Pugga without the beard! I’m surprised no one else said it.

omg this is the 8-9th reaction video to this movie i’ve seen - i literally edited mine for upload just earlier this week lol 😂 loved your reaction 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

AHHHHHH JAY I LOVE YOUR REACTION! Although I have to agree the actors possession was impressive❤

Lets go, definitely a crazy movie, about to finish this reaction when i get home

The ending has me confused still. im not sure if she realized she got manipulated and sacrificed herself or if Jade pushed her to save Riley. Still not sure about pops either. The elevator showed him going up so that could have symbolized him going up to heaven while she stays in limbo. And she was alone in limbo so it raises the question of does every spirit keep their sanity and eventually loses their sanity from being in forever darkness alone?

I've watched a bunch of reactions to this movie and most of them are excellent you are definitely one of the best so traumatizing but that ending is so good I think they nailed it ❤

Not puggapillar lmao the crossover I never knew I needed ❤❤❤

Definitely was waiting on ur reaction 😂😂 I cannot ❤

Now imma go watch this movie lol I love your vids once I start this new job you'll have a new member keep it coming and wishing you the best

Aww Jay you look so pretty, been binge watching u all week 🩷🩷🩷

girl yes 🙌 couldn’t wait to see you do this one.

Jayyyyy got comfortable security blanket with her ❤😂

Yess been waiting for this video!

Love your reaction Jay💙 19:16 😂

Jay your so pretty. I know this is off topic, but a skin care routine/ makeup is definitely needed❤️

I haven't watched this yet, but I definitely want to check it out. But had to check out your reaction & support. Besides, it doesn't really bother me, unless it's something that I'm dying for, because there's so much left out. This like it's going to be great.

the way i at excited to watch this but at the same time I am scared!

I'm apologizing beforehand but i loved how you calmly went through all the stages of grief while watching this movie🤣🤣 I'm sooo sorry but I laughed but you took it like a trooper and that's more than I can say for me when I finally decided to watch this. loved the video you did an awesome job❤❤

this in theatres was a kiii like the noises were so loud

That white chicks clip is gold

when i was this movie it was literally also the 2 year anniversary of MY mom’s death and i sat in the theater like… oh. also i’m just now realizing the time limit breaks might also represent ODs…

I saw this movie in theaters with my younger brother when it got out. I was terrified from start to finish. And all that gore!!!

It's the way i got a toothpaste ad after the toe sucking scene. The coincidence is too funny lol

the scene when everyone was going n then riley SCARRED MEEEEE my boyfriend loved it but girlll i could NOT sleep that night

Love when you watch films I haven't cos then I watch it before this and its so fun!

Pugga out here with illegitimate kids 😂

12:35 I’m happy you reacted to this movie, I had to go to the bathroom after holding it for a while and went around this time thinking nothing else dramatic would happen for a while, I was wrong. I came back around 16:10 and was confused and worried 😅. 19:36, 20:26, 27:02 😆😂 I will have to rewatch it, it’s a good movie, and I like the soundtrack. 29:42 Are you talking about The Lazarus Effect (2015), with Olivia Wilde? It’s a good movie also

*me watching the kangaroo dying in it’s misery* “You know who would do it? Esther.”

this reaction was sooo good and funny !! this movie scared the hell out of me in theatres, i thought it was so good even though it’s not my type of horror movie at all. also haley in this movie goes by they/them pronouns i believe and the actor is trans masc! :)

This movie is wild, so good.

i hope the foot scene was fake, i hope the dog scene was fake because thinking about them actually doing these scenes makes me SICK 😭

THE WENDY WILLIAMS COMMENT SENT ME KSDNFKSDNFSD

So I'm guessing Jay that you don't want the replica they're selling of the hand😂❤

That was one of the best central performances I've seen in a long time. Love that actress.

girl idk why but i thought the blanket u were holding was the hand from the movie 😭 i was like “dang they’re already selling them?”

i would never watch this again but had to watch this reaction, i could barely watch through that scene of riley smashing his head...

Minus those two scenes, fantastic film.

19:25 girl not the movie making you whinnie😭😭

I cannot dare to watch it again.. but it's one of the finest... Riley's scenes plssssssssssss I cannot

A24 for the win. This is CINEMA

I CANT even watch this yet cuz i havent seen the movie yet. :( this weekend im watching it then im coming back for this reaction

Ig im the only one, that wanted to fight everybody in this movie especially the main character 💀😂😂

pugapillar has been mentioned in every reaction video i’ve watched this week😭😭 PUGA HOW MUCH U PAYIN THEM

This movie was so good

The Puggapillar reference sent me!! 🤣 I thought that kid looked familiar. 💀💀

Hi you got a new subscriber ... i love your reaction 😂🥰. but honestly i hope they could talk more about mia background little .. its is great movie not really scary

Glad you reacted to this movie, This was literally Oija board on Steroids!

Ain't no way is right! I could NEVER

This was a wild ride. Don't these kids know that you don't go around summoning demons. If you f** around it will come back and bite you on the a**.

"baby if you wanna do something do CRACK" oh wow

When the relative asked her if she was thinking about working with her dad & you said "we might die before that happens" LMFAOO right on the money unfortunately 😩🤣🤣😭

7:41 I didn't notice till recently but the fingers twitch when the possession occurs

Just had to see talk to me knee this'll be good lol love this movie very interesting so many levels lol some of the levels and scenes in this reminds me of Michael Myers lol series most things lol

The movie didn’t scare me because I’m not a horror movie guy. But, I found it extremely entertaining and fun. Delighted I saw it in the theatre!

The mom was never there, from what I understand is that Riley was possesed by the one who was behind him when Mia was first possesed. I'm curious about what happens when you get possessed again while the first spirit is still there though

this movie is crazyyyy but also wildly great for what they had. the way universal and a24 went into a bidding war over the rights for it says alot tbh about its quality.

I should not be watching this at night

RSPCA stands for The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Australia.

Oh naw she was going popclaw on them toes

I was sort of interested in this movie until I heard what the ending was and it immediately sounded like the ending of another horror movie. I’ll probably watch this when it’s on prime for free

❤

Girl what you watch the movie on?😭

Not the #childsplay3reaction in the description 😭✋

You are right it's flatlliners both the original and the remake were good in my opinion any way I didn't like this one so much but not because of the story cause like you said that was interesting it just had scenes in it that were a bit too much for me at times and Mia dying was ovious but the acting and the shots in this are amazing as well. I know the dangers of doing a game like this because it's just as bad as playing the Ouijja game...yes you might get those who just want help or talk to someone that you know who passed away but you could also summon the tricksters and like the movie Insdious find those who want to posess you just to live again as it were. This movie is connected to drug use just twisted into the supernatual element and now that I think about it that is an interesting way to show the dangers of it and how easy it is to get addicted once you try it.

But you would try the hand no? Like just once, what could go wrong if you do it once right?

Mia really no being welcome by her friend is so sad in the beginning like its sad that her friendship became a burden.
