Thank you for watching!!!! What's the SCARIEST movie you've seen this year?

[@kornandfoofighters]

...heh myyyyy assssss.

[@Spider-Mancini]

Not sure, I’m a tough one to scare (unless I flick the channel and there’s a Barbara Streisand film on - she gives Fred Krueger nightmares!!!) I do think that both Scream VI and Evil Dead Rise has their moment though. Much better than Talk to MEH! ;)

[@dantepillado8462]

Talk to Me & Beau is Afraid!

[@ksmooth1973]

Scary not more like slow, boring, bad acting, and writing and I walked out of it it was so bad. Your lost lmao

[@darkbustergt8085]

That hell scene in the hospital genuinely made me scared to sleep for 2 days. Really good horror movie as I haven't had one make me fight not to close my eyes.

[@amy_yoshikawa]

Are you a kid?

[@darkbustergt8085]

@@amy_yoshikawa No demon stuff gets to me tho and imagining hell as being constantly clawed at and bitten on is pretty fucking terrifying. I guess wanting to close my eyes at a kid getting molested by a bunch of naked demons makes me sound like a kid

[@vincentzhaiven4017]

​@@amy_yoshikawaprobably , nothing in this movie was scary really. It seems like a bunch of children went to see this.

[@yougotgamesonyourphone6947]

We got some bad asses here watch out 🙄

[@_heresjohnny]

I loved the way the ghosts manifested and were “stuck” In their final moment of trauma. It reminded me ALOT of the sixth sense. That made it so much scarier because of the unpredictability of what the ghosts were plotting. Glad it wasn’t chocked full of jump scares.

[@norwoodsstokes3883]

Same...Mia's mother or whatever this entity claimed to be...to me was particular haunting...🎯🎯🎯🎯💯

[@roni2971]

Or cg

[@themiskatonicsociety2087]

If you listen to the sounds they make the audio matches their last moment in life confirmed by the directors. One ghost is gurgling water from when they drowned and one is brake sounds from getting hit by a car

[@Flavor639]

The lady that Mia connects with first, the one that takes over her body and tells the boy that they “like him”, did anyone else notice that her face injuries resembled the boys after he was forced to injure himself? The swollen face and one bulging eye? Maybe it’s unconnected but to me it seemed like whatever entity was inside of him wanted to recreate the facial trauma that that woman had.

[@_heresjohnny]

@@themiskatonicsociety2087 cool little detail!

[@OxChiquitaXo]

There’s uncertainty whether she killed her dad or not. I think he didn’t die bc they showed him still alive when Jade saw him in the house.

[@moxiemaxie3543]

Mia even gave him a yellow towel to try and clean him up😂

[@Sheed96]

this movie legit made me cry... then I was horrified the next scene....like that's insane for a horror movie

[@balladofthebroken7569]

I’m going to go ahead and say it: Talk to Me is what Evil Dead Rise WANTED to be. The gore & moments of horror actually left an impact & were visceral & felt more real/ raw. Whereas with EDR, in the sea of chaos it was hard for any one scene to be punctuated at the end to fully deliver a blow. Sorry, just the more & more I ponder EDR the more I realize in the future if I want to watch a modern Evil Dead film I will pop in Evil Dead (2013) every time over that. Hell, Talk to Me even beat out EDR in terms of practical effects - which is supposed to be that franchises bread & butter (compare the distracting use of CGI in EDR for the eyes instead of contacts & the shoddy CGI during the deadite monster - zero CG in Talk to Me & brilliantly used, etc).

[@dantepillado8462]

This was a great drive-in movie experience! I was stunned by how unique and genuinely terrifying this movie was...not to mention unsettling. The subtext on addiction, enablers of addiction, grief and peer pressure was so on point! I absolutely loved this movie!

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

Ooooh this would have been fun at a drive in

[@Capronice]

This movie was perfect. It was not too loud. They used some very original things with sound . When Mia is washing dishes she does not hear her father and neither does the audience until she shuts the water off. It tells you who’s view the audience is with. What happens to her is happening to the viewer. When she died the audience goes with her. The lights go out for all of us.

[@ronpotts6385]

Like a lot of horror fans, I'm completely desensitized to gore, and nothing scares me. That being said, I found myself covering my eyes with my jacket, so I wouldn't see what was about to happen. Most of that was during one of the Riley scenes.

[@HorrorHemo13]

I was definitely a little depressed walking out of this one. But it made me feel without pissing me off. Really liked it!! Also, I saw an interview where the directors said they shot like 20 mins of the Hell scene and cut it down to 20 seconds 😅

[@EthanRom]

That scene was genuinely scary and the sound design was insane

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

Great way to put it! And holy shit I don't wanna see that 20 minutes lol too scary

[@Kivota]

That was the only thing I wanted more of! Would have been awesome and I'm sure terrifying to see more of their version of Hell

[@DmnHd81]

it was actually 2 minutes but they felt it was gratuitously long. cutting it to a few glimpses was a smart choice

[@EastsideSILENCER777]

That scene is the stuff that gives your nightmares, nightmares.

[@jacobasher2859]

Loved this movie! Also I think the dad may have lived, her friend said he was on an ambulance when she called her mom to warn about Riley.

[@majones117]

This movie didn't scare me, but did disturb me and God damnit do I want to go see it again. The acting, story, makeup, and idea were all so good. Spoiler following: The theme of using possession as a drug is so fucking good. All the teen characters were so damn believable it reminded me of people I grew up with. Hitting the head on the table was so visceral to watch and all the lingering shots on the violence and ghosts really makes your jaw drop and so uncomfortable to watch.

[@SamanthaSeman-vn2xl]

I loved it that they showed Riley trying to pull out his eye

[@1neOfN0ne]

It's definitely my favorite horror movie of the year so far, and it's the most mean spirited and brutal but people saying it's the scariest movie might give people the wrong idea IMO. Like i said, I really liked this movie but idk how scary I'd say it is. Anyway, I went into this movie fairly blind cause I went opening night. I had saw the trailer but I hadn't heard too much hype about it and I had a fuckin awesome experience watching this movie. Great theater experience too. A couple parts specifically caused the entire theater to simultaneously squirm, scream and look away from the screen. Brutal shit. I gave it a solid 8.2

[@PopCultureWithPat]

For me Talk to Me is the scariest movie of 2023 so far and I was a bit worried if it would live up to the hype built up around it but it did for me. Love your breakdown of the spoiler section Mike, my buddy and I were talking about the ending after the film for awhile. Think im going to check it out again this week

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

Thanks so much Pat! I totally agree its the scariest of the year so far.

[@teelittles25]

my butt hasn’t puckered over a scary movie like ‘talk to me’ in quite some time… the tension was perfectly done.

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

haha that butt pucker action was real

[@thatguy1928]

Did y’all notice how the beginning foreshadowed the ending

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

Oh damn great point

[@TransformersHoarder]

That’s why I think she killed her self instead of her fried pushing her like some are thinking possibly happened.

[@Wraiven22]

I really liked if, though it didn’t really scare me all that much I found it to be a super original take on possession/ghost horror!

[@amy_yoshikawa]

Agree! The concept alone is what makes it unique but it was more of a drama which i loved even more. No cliches.

[@danpartridge8584]

Just saw this over the weekend. Great comparison to "Drag Me to Hell"...my buddy and I have a very similar dynamic to you and Jay. We saw DMTH and I remember, after the parking garage scene, we looked at each other like, "WTF did we get ourselves into?" We only knew Sam Raimi as the Spiderman guy at that point 🤣

[@kennethwhitt7509]

No one talks about this scene but I keep thinking about the girl screaming RUN RUN RUN at the beginning. Idk why that got me but that's the part I keep thinking about. Terrifying!

[@Joemama55122]

Australia is my fave country for horror They're always original and have natural acting

[@sowhenthen]

I'm so glad yall are back posting! I hope you both had some good time off. You two make my day so much better, I crack up just listening to you both.

[@jennmoslek921]

I finally went & saw this last night & loved it! Some of the scenes were so brutal that I was squirming in my seat for most of the movie. It definitely makes my short list of films that disturb/scare me. My best friend & I live 2 hours apart & met at a theater that was in between us. Unfortunately, it was located in a very rural area, so the drive home was long & dark! I kept looking in my rear view mirror, expecting something to be in the backseat! Lol

[@JoeGrizz1y]

Being someone who grew up on RACKARACKA content. The biggest shock was to see the mean spirited and serious tone they took with the film. I was expecting more of a Horror Comedy, after viewing years of that on their channel. The second shock comes from the film being executed so professionally. This did not feel cheap or like an amateur film. They surely played their hand and proven their intelligence and ability to produce something on a Hollywood scale. The film managed to to balance the modern nature with teens and internet very well. As films usually fail really hard or have plot holes from this. Another great aspect is the cast really delivers. Not one character sticks out for bad and every decision has some motive behind it. The tension was a slow build, but was well payed off through its eventful scenes. The writing left audiences with just enough to understand it’s themes and vague answers. Leaving enough to ponder and discuss about. Lastly, the sound design is amazing in the eventful moments. In the theater, the surround sound was utilized very well. With gutty dirty sounds filling the room, and voices coming from the corner. One sound through off a lot of people in my showing. Someone even verbally expressed that they thought someone in the theater was talking really loud. Very well executed on all fronts. It isn’t to often when you walk out of a film and can barely find any gripes, misfires, or problems with it. My only 2 cents is the ending felt like it needed an extra 2-3 min to wrap up the loose ends in a way that won’t confuse the everyday viewer. Otherwise people who know movies can understand the visual details that wrap up the story just fine. It made the ending feel slightly rushed, especially when the rest of the film was so well paced with its slow burn. Other than that, it is damn near perfect. Another nitpick is the very small and slightly predictable third act. It ended on a solid note, but to get there was a little predictable and takes notes from other similar films. It surely has jumped up on the best of horror list for a lot of people and has climbed to one of my favorites of the year. As of now this is a 8.5/10 film. SPOILER SECTION: the ending was an extreme parallel of her taking her own life to give herself mercy. Her friend said that Riley showed signs of recovery. That little amount of doubt was enough for her to mercy kill herself and save Riley from her slow descent. We see Riley recover and then leave the hospital. Just as we see her father walking out of the hospital. As a sign that he recovered from his neck wound. Then the stinger of her being the spirit is where the real question is. She isn’t insane or like the other spirits we saw. Maybe implying, that overtime, limbo gets to be to much for the spirits and they begin to fight for a new body. The hand is the way of getting inside the next idiot who chooses to play the game. Mia may eventually become one of those frantic and powerful spirits as she fights to leave limbo. That is how I see the answers to the questions at the end. Her taking her own life took weight of of her friend and her father. She is no longer living and breathing on the necks of her friends family, and her father No gets to be relieved from having to tell his daughter the truth or potential truth.

[@TransformersHoarder]

I get where you’re coming from in your spoiler section but remember the little girl was rather peaceful… then again so was her mother at first.

[@JoeGrizz1y]

@@TransformersHoarder her friend’s family was peaceful but we saw the truth come out with the mother. Her anger was swept under the rug with a sorry, but that was a hidden truth that clearly was building up overtime. She felt like latching onto her family was nice, but almost like she has to move on at one point and get passed her own problems. Seeing her as a leech to escape her own family problems.

[@JoeGrizz1y]

@@TransformersHoarder peaceful because they felt pity for her. But once their family member got hurt. The truth comes forth. Showing that subconsciously they view her as someone who injected themselves into their family.

[@N.G.H.]

I remember when The Ring came out in theaters. We would dare our friends to go see it so that we could call their house phones late at night on a anonymous line and whisper 7 days to them as a prank. The prank went viral, and this was way before everyone had flip phones and about 2 years before Google search was established as a domain.

[@TransformersHoarder]

Question for those that have seen it. At the very end do you recall if it was the same left hand they were using to communicate with her or was it the right hand? I missed it. Definitely worth a second watch. It would be neat if the directors would’ve cleverly had the other hand in the ending scene especially since it was mentioned earlier in the film.

[@LipstickSnob]

I was thinking it was the other hand as well. They did kinda mention there was two of them circulating.

[@colbyklenzing5673]

***SPOILER ALERT*** With the elevator scene, I believe that her father survived. She had passed when jumping in front of the car and that essentially wiped from existence. Her consciousness “woke back up” in the hospital (limbo, due to the seance being performed by people unrelated) multiple months later after Riley fully recovered and her father was going to visit Riley as he knew the importance of that family to Mia. While she was being brought to the seance she was given a glimpse of all those she cared about in her life. This is just my personal interpretation of the final scene and I’d love to discuss further if anyone else is geeking out over this movie as hard as i am

I think the difference between a great horror movie and a bad one is the amount of effort the writers put into the story and the characters.

If the plot is boring, hugely predictable, or nonsensical, im not going to even remember it when ive left the theater. That's why this one is so good

It's not ghosts. It's Jinn/demons. And one should never mess with them. It's very rare that they even want to play with humans, but in the event of them doing so, you're finished.

[@TransformersHoarder]

I loved the movie… I agree with many on it not actually scaring me. The scene where the boy was smashing his own head in was freaky to me though. It was the scene that got the most, if not only physical reaction out of me. But I unlike some thought it was so well done where it may be one of my new most favorite horror films. I can see this being a movie that cleverly has you looking at it in different lights the more you rewatch.

[@amy_yoshikawa]

Thank you for being honest. I agree, it wasn't scary that some make it out to be. But it was genuinely good horror/drama with very good ending. Sure new favorite of this year.

Taking my 15 year old daughter on Friday to see this. ‘Smile’ gave her goosebumps. Let’s see what this puppy can do 😂

[@Pinkgreen190]

My thoughts (spoilers): The dad survived and to me, the elevator meant he got to continue his life without her and she was gone. Throughout the movie, she makes selfish decisions which causes her to end up getting tricked by the demons. When the mom's ghost showed up I started to think or realize the main girl was not a reliable narrator. The ending of her being the demon found was pretty cool.

[@azncorgilord]

I enjoyed this movie. But the only thing that made me react was the 'dog' scene. I was sitting there going: "Oh, hell no. ...Motherf*cker ... why won't this end????" That scene was too damn long! 🤣🤣

[@MrRileyjames]

I thought that Riley's sister pushed Mia onto the road. The ending is much darker to think that Jade pushed Mia to her death, effectively leaving Riley stuck in purgatory and Mia in limbo with unfinished business.

[@victorwilliams6985]

SPOILER - SPOILER SPOILER - SPOILER SPOILER - SPOILER SPOILER - SPOILER I believe everyone in the hospital is alive. She’s seeing time elapse and nobody in the living world acknowledges her. When you see Riley again he’s fully healed. That means so much time has gone by. There was zero reason to show a clip of her dad being alive once we thought he was done. They could have left it there or show the friend finding his dead body. Instead he’s barely alive. And in movie world if you don’t see the confirmed death there’s always room for return. I think he simply was leaving the hospital. And there’s plenty of meat on the bone for a sequel within the mom ghost storyline and if that was even really her mom or if the dad was telling the truth.

[@myra-yves]

i genuinely think her dad was telling the truth about the letter but the spirit version of her mom obviously had malicious intent in her telling mia he was lying and that it’s not really her dad, like mia was essentially going full schizo at the end with the spirits so it would only make sense. honestly her stabbing her dad in the throat after what seemed like a genuine moment between them and her dad seemingly trying to connect with her was pretty tragic and sad to me. this movie is really enjoyable personally

[@TransformersHoarder]

Her dad was telling the truth but the demons had mom lying to her. Same happened in movies opening scene. Remember in the opening scene the young man put the knife through his skull to stop himself from stabbing his brother a second time. The first blow he gave his older brother looked to be survivable.

[@kaittymillan1566]

I felt bad for mia as well, but also.... it was her choices that got riley into this mess She should have say no or pull the hand away when the 50 second mark She used her friend family as a escape and she did used their kindness, as we should from their voice that she have hurt them before She become so addiction to the hand that she pull the people she love into her mess That why jerks in this movie walk away, yes they bought the hand to the party, but mia was the one who push to continue it on to those who doesnt deserve it

Just saw the movie tonight and it was good, but not what it was being hyped up to be. Like they kind of under used some of their most interesting concepts, like why was there only one "weird moment" with the "Toe Ghost" in Mia's room? I thought that once they introduced that concept of "Micro Possessions" that they would use it again, and reality was going to become harder to identify from that moment on. ... but they never really did it again and it seemed like a waste of a concept, and the whole "They can mimic living people" was kind of pointless, as why not just have Mia struggling with what she perceives as a vengeful ghost and then have her then accidentally hurt someone. Like how is a ghost taking the shape of a living person? ... it makes sense that they could change shape through a never ending pool of the dead, but taking the shape of a living person just seemed a bit too obvious and kind of broke the film. As why not just have Mia see Riley as a violent demon the entire time and make her believe that the demon in Riley's bed was going to attack Jade and the mother? It was good, but the "Twist" was obvious from the second interaction and the final "Twist" was something that I thought was going to happen earlier but from Riley's perspective. I think the "This is this years Hereditary!" over hype kind of hurt this film for me, as I was expecting that edge of your seat tension like Hereditary, but instead it was more like a series of creepy moments with kind of dull teenager family drama sprinkled in-between that kind of deflated the tension that they were trying to build. Like did the ghosts just stop haunting her at some point? As they seem to leave her alone for a large portion of the second act, after that one incident in her room, they don't really come near her again until the Dad reads her a letter. I thought the Dad was going to reveal that the Mother was claiming to be seeing spirits and that's why she was taking sleeping pills, or some sort of connection, as why did they make a point to mention her fingers and scratch marks on the door, if it wasn't going to be brought up again? They just left little things hanging that were never addressed again. Or how everyone in the movie would sit back and let people damage themselves quite severely and not even attempt to stop or restrain them, like if i seen my brother bang his head of tiles I would immediately rush to stop him or move him away from the tiles, I wouldn't sit there screaming for other people to help me. Or why didn't they rewatch the recordings of them talking to the hand? ... like that first possession of Mia was when it was pointed out that some malevolent spirit was already taking an interest in Riley. Why didn't they rewatch the footage and notice that, and why not just show the footage to the mother and explain the situation by showing her the footage of all of them getting possessed and show her the hand that Mia had in her possession at the time? Like why was their an air of secrecy around the hand? They were filming it and putting it all over social media, so why not just show the mother? It's not illegal to communicate with the spirit world!

Scary is definitely subjective but regardless if you thought this was scary or creepy or whatever -It was a good movie regardless of the genre. Happy that we got an original idea and it’s actually doing good.

[@Fumblingthroughlifeonline]

Australian horror films are more brutal & less predictable. Japan & Korea make good horror films too

[@Rorschach--hm3dk]

The dad didn’t die.

[@lycanthrope9760]

As far as special effects go the bros knocked it outta the park

[@WrvrUgoThrUR]

I love that KZbinrs are LITERALLY eating Hollyweird’s lunch and smacking the paycheck out of the complacent writers’ hands to the floor and making them pick it up and hand it over.

[@matthewtetzlaff8967]

[@ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh2401]

im not a big horror fan, ive watched a few horror movies but not a lot. only reason i watched this was: a: i saw an ad and it looked cool b: a24. and jeez i LOVED it. even tho i dont watch a lot of horror i do know about a lot of the tropes (namely the last girl trope) and this one just didnt seem to have that many. honestly i was very pleased with it and glad i made the impulse decision to go watch it. i absolutely loved every second of it. will defs watch again

[@amy_yoshikawa]

It's actually an Aussie horror movie. A24 only bought the rights to this movie. So i wasn't surprised when I found it, it's an Australian horror movie bc they really make some very lowkey unique horror movies in the past few decades. Another very popular one came out of it, was The Babadook.

[@michellezombie3441]

I still think Jade pushed Mia into the traffic to save her brother.

[@xaviersejour9183]

You say it’s mean but the dad actually lives The boy the one that is possessed and trying to kill himself. I don’t know if he’s dead or alive. It ended to fast. Guessing by the kangaroo foreshadowing she probably doesn’t push him and instead jumps and kills her self

[@SavRipper]

Whaat thats surprising. I had high expectations after the trailer. Was very disappointed after seeing it. Those specific hand scenes were cool, but i thought everything else was blah.

[@stephenwood2145]

Watched it tonight. Big fan. Kinda gave me the same feeling I got when I watched Se7en for the first time. I felt icky but it's still a solid flick... 8.2 outta 10

[@ratwhisperer8667]

I thought this movie did a great job at making Mia flawed but still a character that the audience could empathize with. I’m a big fan of a horror film where the protagonist’s situation gets progressively worse and worse, especially when its caused by their own actions. I found the end to be very satisfying.

[@gracehardiman16]

Spoiler warning: at the end when she is summoned with the hand at the end, what was the phrase they said to her and what does it translate to?

[@nikitamalik4262]

Presto- hurry

[@ubermalice9589]

Yea, watching this movie made me feel dirty but in all the right kind of ways. I hope if ever they endeavor to make a sequel they give me some closure (spoilers!) as to what happened to the little brother. Not knowing didn't at all ruin the movie for me but nonetheless left me with a "I wonder what happened to this kid after the credits rolled". Regardless, this is a must see for all you horror fans out there who don't mind getting some eww splashed on your face... but in a good way.

[@cainegilchrist9464]

So, i just got back from the movies. It was ok, it wasn't scary. It was different, it was clever. Made me enjoy Evil Dead Rise even more. I guess A24 is for some. No hate, just prefer jump scares and gore more xoxo
