    For Horrors fans, “Talk to Me” will tick all the boxes. A paranormal/ghost 👻type story.

    VERY creepy

    shockingly good practical FX make up

    Believable characters

    Brutal

    Never goes cheesy in the third act

    Includes a WTF scene (always enjoyable)

    9/10

        Correct. It would be my cup of tea. You know me :) It’s on my to watch list. It’s a A24 movie and the few A24 movies I’ve seen has been pretty good

        9/10 is very high ranking though. If/when I get the chance to watch it, I can tell you my thoughts, if anyone is interested

          You must share them here for us all! I don’t like horror usually but I loved shit like Parasite where it turned into that and, of course, I’ve liked A24’s stuff so far as well. I’ll be on the lookout for more reviews.

            I do love me some (read a lot) of horror movies. Haven’t seen any that’s stand out in a long time and I’m not a fan of the type like Get Out etc. My last fav would have to be Train to Busan but that’s sad, because that was long ago. I’ve seen many horrors since but nothing to really chat about excitedly, if that makes sense

          We are A24 crew here as well. Reading your other comments I think we appreciate different aspects of the horror genre. You will probably rate it lower than I did. Train to Busan was very good but I wouldn’t call it a scary movie.

          Hereditary is probably top 3 all time scariest movies for me. So that’s the sort of headspace I’m coming from.

            Yeah I’ve watched all types of horror but you’re right we do enjoy different horror. I watched hereditary and thought it was alright. Personally wouldn’t rate it very high. And yeah train to Busan wasn’t scary but it is loosely classified as horror. So I use the terminology on it. Can’t remember the last time I was scary by any horror tbh. Maybe when I was a kid

      Thanks for the recommendation. I thought the trailer looked cool and I really want to see it, because Australian and horror are 2 categories I love but also together chef’s kiss

      Speaking of spooky, this local house looks like the top 2/3 of the Amtyville house.

      Image is of a house with a blue car parked out front, some tall yukkas are in the front with a tall grey fence. House is as described. There are power lines and tram tracks in the foreground.
