A new A24 horror. They always come with a fair amount of hype, they rarely make good on that promise. Talk to Me is no different. Not that it's a bad film, but it's very very generic. Where other A24 horrors at least made a real effort to be different, this one simply sticks to its genre clichés and calls it a day.
The performances are solid and there are some pretty fun moments, but there's a bit too much inane drama and the film is never all that tense or gory, even though it tries very hard to be exactly that. Talk to Me is pleasant horror filler, but nothing more. No doubt there will be a sequel, so let's hope they crank up the horror levels for that one.
