Crazy horror film Talk To Me that leaves viewers terrified is released in the UK
Highly-anticipated Australian horror movie Talk To Me has been released in the UK and is leaving viewers petrified.
The thriller, directed by YouTube brothers Danny and Michael Philippou – who go by RackaRacka online – sparked a bidding war among distributors after its screening at the Adelaide Film Festival in October 2022.
Finally, the film is being brought to the global stage, and film fans are ‘SCARED ‘ by what is becoming one of the highest rated horrors of the year.
Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives Talk To Me an impressive 95%, for its ‘gripping story and impressive practical effects.’
This is doubly impressive when you consider that this is the Philippou brothers’ first ever feature film.
‘SCARED scared’: Australian thriller Talk To Me has been touted as one of best horror films this year, and was released on July 28

Critics and fans alike have reacted well to the release so far, with one saying that it had them ‘SCARED scared.’
They added: ‘I took off my glasses every time things got too scary.’
Another said: ‘Absolutely electric. My nerves are shot.’
The A24 film follows Adelaide teens Mia (Sophie Wilde) her best friend Jade (Alexandra Jensen) and her younger brother Riley (Joe Bird).
The three attend a party that involves conjuring dead spirits and letting them possess their bodies by using a severed, embalmed hand.
They use the phrase ‘Talk to me,’ before saying ‘I let you in’ in order to be fully possessed by a spirit.
After becoming hooked on the thrill, things take a turn when Mia sees her dead mother after being possessed by a spirit for more than the maximum time of 90 seconds.
The feature caused a stir at Adelaide Film Festival last year, and again at the Sundance, Berlin International, and Fantasia International film festivals.
Eventually, rights to distribute the movie were bought in a reported seven-figure deal according to Variety, which left debutant directors Danny and Michael living ‘a dream come true.’
After the film launched in Australia on July 27, it was released internationally – including in the UK – on July 28.
