    Best horror movie I've seen for years...
    Horror is the toughest genre right now. Just the kind that will grab your heart at least sometimes. With an exceptionally necessary level of naturalism. That is, it won't be possible to fill the plot with natural blunt dismemberment. People can find it in abundance on the Internet. For the viewer it will be bewilderment and disgust, he will immediately turn it off. Except for those who like real dismemberment. A thriller with a touching story won't do either. Pity and sadness are not the same as fear. It seemed like the director didn't have enough budget or time. The ending was a bit messy 8/10.

    A win!
    I am a BIG horror fan and there's usually more bad ones than good ones but I still like to try 'em out and see if there's a new idea or gimmick that's been re-invented or done better.

    The plot is fairly straight forward, like all horror movies, so you're just waiting to see what's new or not. The twist here is it that a cursed hand is a direct line to the other side and guess what? That other side is scary AF.

    I was pleasantly surprised that Talk to Me was pretty darn good! The premise is very fresh and unique with lots of scares and creepiness.

    Like all horror movies, there's always tried and true tricks and obvious elements/cliches but that's actually part of the genre so you just know to expect it and if done well, adds to rather than detracts. The pacing is a bit slow in the beginning but there's an attempt to really get to know the main characters and establish a strong plot, especially regarding Mia and her pseudo second family, and it's done well enough.

    Could some things have been better? Sure, but the end product was memorable and delivered most of my boxes. The acting and the overall execution makes up for anything lacking in my opinion. I hope there is a sequel. I could see this spawning a franchise!

    Not as good as the hype
    It is an interesting concept, but I feel like it could've been more... groundbreaking. The 7+ IMDb rating made me think it was better than it actually is, because I normally put a higher rating myself than the IMBd average, and because for some reason horror films always tend to have the lowest reviews.

    This was pretty underwhelming for sure, not to say it's bad, but I feel like there was some wasted potential. The final plot twist wasn't as shocking to me as people are making it out to be, because you can sorta imagine where the film is going.

    It was still an enjoyable watch, but I didn't think it lived up to the hype.
