It’s the enthralling kind of horror that you can’t look away from. In others, it’s an existential exploration that leads to a genre-defining question: Can new rules be made and/or old ones broken? Either way, there are moments when the movie makes the theater feel like a vacuum, sucking you into a vortex of heart-racing, chest-clutching, jaw-dropping terror. In some ways, Talk to Me is a natural evolution beyond the Ouija board, the deadest horse of all horror tropes. Then, a paranormal party trick lifts the veil between the living and the dead-and teens recklessly abuse it for entertainment purposes (shocking!). Sophie Wilde shines as Mia, a grieving teenage girl reeling from her mother’s passing two years earlier. Walking the fine line between referential and redundant-good horror filmmakers employ motifs, but bad horror filmmakers rely on them-twin-brother duo Danny and Michael Philippou stun in their directorial debut, delivering a gripping (pun intended) plot driven by starmaking performances. **** Talk to Me is the scariest horror movie of 2023.
