For the most part Talk to Me is a competently made film.

There's a couple of unique ideas the film has in depicting deeper, more emotionally horrifying things people can experience such as; trauma, guilt and grief. The film is shot well for the most part, but it lacks the scares and originality to elevate it beyond any other recent horror movies that are similar to it. There's also a number of moments where the dialogue and performances are not great, making the film lose a lot of the effectiveness it could have had if those two things were just a tad bit better.

I know I’m in the minority but I kind of hated this? The writing is pretty bad, they’re still adding new rules for the hand well into act three, and the characters are normal horror film intelligence (ending is cool, though).

Not the best or most engrossing horror film I have ever seen, but it held my attention with its plot and the convincing performances of its young cast.

Great premise and a solid first act - brutal and uncompromising from the jump, some nice buildup of dread, and some pretty gnarly practical effects and visuals - but it sags under the weight of its logic about midway through. The endingGreat premise and a solid first act - brutal and uncompromising from the jump, some nice buildup of dread, and some pretty gnarly practical effects and visuals - but it sags under the weight of its logic about midway through. The ending doesn’t pack the punch it needs to because the trauma the main character harbors feels too generic. Should be a brutal twist of the knife or at least cathartic, but ultimately just feels predictable.

The filmmakers clearly have an eye for horror, but maybe not the chops yet to sustain a full feature.

Some genuinely unsettling moments, however it’s wildly uneven and has several plot holes. Major characters are left totally undeveloped, several scenes defy logic, and it ends with an all too predictable scene.

Unfortunately, the characters are so unpleasant and annoying it’s hard to sympathize with any of them. I might as well throw in that the soundtrack choices are grating. Expand

Thrilling, terror and gore!! Another great directorial debut for a horror film. The transitions between drama and horror sequences are still tripped on the ways and story is pretty predictable.

La razón de mi decepción proviene, probablemente, de la alta espectativa a la cinta. Si bien, no es mala, carece de terror y profundidad en la historia. Al final no es más que otra película del genero que no despega.

Fun idea, but didn’t really feel connected to the characters. The story felt like it was missing something to connect the ending. Couldn’t tell what was real and what was fake in the story.

Brilliant debut, plenty of scope for sequels. Would definitely watch it again
