Directed by the brothers Michael and Danny Philippou, Talk to Me is their first attempt at a feature film. It was a pretty decent introduction too as they made the transition from shorts and clips to movies. When you see their channel you don't really tend to think they'll do well in horror but they did have some help writing with Daley Pearson. Parents will know him as Rocko from the kid's show Bluey.
Sophie Wilde plays the main teenager Mia. At first, she comes across as an angsty teen but as you get to know her through the writing and dialogue, you tend to understand more why she is so distant from her father and holding onto her few friends. This was her film debut and she did a great job. Also, she came up with the concept for the film too.
The most recognizable person in the film is Miranda Otto who is better known for playing Eowyn from The Lord of the Rings. There are a bunch of other Australian actors, Job Bird does a great job imitating Alex Wolff if you've seen Hereditary.
Does the film scare you? It has some jump scares, some earned and some were just loud noises. The movie is mostly unnerving and makes you shift in your seat. End the end I care about how it would end. I wasn't sure how it would either and that's a good thing. B
