just got out of a late showing of Talk To Me and I have thoughts!
⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️SPOILERS AHEAD ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
so let's dive in while it's still fresh in my mind
Grief is a heavy player in this movie and that's what makes it so good. So much of what happens is because of Mia not being able to let go or face her grief. she's vulnerable to the spirits/demons/souls because she's lonely and sad and she's trying to find anything to make her feel.
The opening scene was absolutely amazing! it sets up how fucking crazy the movie is going to be. It brings us into the world where everything is for views, everyone is entertainment even when they're suffering. It's not the focus of the film but they way social media guides the story is interesting.
to add to the previous point, every time someone does the "game"/seance, the others whip out their phones with lightening speed. They laugh, they point their cameras at the possessed and scream and shout in joy regardless of what the possessed is doing. we see this in Daniel's first go which is a weird sexual possession that leaves him embarrassed and scared, whereas the group is laughing and recording. it's also what brings Mia to the hand in the first place, she keeps seeing the videos posted of people playing the game and having "fun"
I really liked the kangaroo scene because it was so jarring and the foreshadowing was just mwah. wonderful.
I will admit Mia got annoying because you want her to know that she should stop, but she won't. I was literally trying not to yell at the screen lol
on the other hand (ha hand), I get it. She was desperate, grief will do that to you, she just wanted answers and closure. And that can drive you mad.
The gore/violence in the movie was so good for a possession film! The Riley scene was intense and had the small amount of us in the theater squirming and yelling and gasping. And the limbo/purgatory scene although brief was not what I was expecting and it blew me away, it gave cronenbergian/yuzna's Society [1989] vibes.
the cast was very very good! Sophie Wilde played Mia with such an intensity and passion that drew me in even when I didn't care for her character's actions. And the supporting cast stood their own which was awesome because sometimes in horror those other characters can sometimes get pushed aside or fade into the background.
the sound design had me so tense! I swear I thought I was hearing things and not sure if it was me or the movie. We don't talk enough about sound when it comes to horror. It's honestly what really scares me, more than the actual scenes, it's the score that revs up my anxiety and fear.
All in all, the movie was really good! I'm not even a huge fan of possession horror but I was excited to see it and really glad that I did. I know it's been greenlit for a sequel which would be interesting depending on where they take the story but I'm definitely more interested in the prequel that they've already made!! I hope it gets picked up by A24 like the sequel is because I definitely would like to know more about the hand and mythology behind the "game".
Just to add on some more personal thoughts: It's interesting to me how often grief plays a role in horror. From Midsommar to Hereditary to The Babadook to classics like Pet Sematary, the list goes on. We are vulnerable when we're grieving, easier to let bad things in or ignore the people who love us who are trying to help. When I watch horror about grief, it gets to me more often than any others because I've known grief like a childhood friend. It's been with me my entire life. But I've learned to handle it better than I used to, and with movies like this it's a safe place for me to let it consume me, let it be messy and overwhelming like it is for the characters in the movie.
Anyways to wrap this up please go see Talk To Me! If you like possession movies you'll like it, if you like movies with deeper layers you'll like it, it feels like there's a little bit of everything to appeal to most horror fans.

This is one of my many many favorite Yugi and Atem brotherly moments in the show with the dub.
Yugi so desperately wanting to save/stop Joey/Jonouchi from having to duel Marik., asking Atem to save him. And Atem firmly saying that they needed to let Joey do this on his own.
Like the way he says “Yugi” both times with such firmness and conviction, shows how much of a big brother/guardian role Atem plays in Yugi’s life

Do you guys understand the struggle of having the same name as the character you're obsessing over
Like my sister would look over my shoulder to look at what I'm writing and she'll go "you're writing about yourself in 3rd person? Cringe"

The memory of 10-year-old me printing out a small picture of Yami Bakura and putting it in my wallet like one would do with a picture of their spouse or children still haunts me.

it's canon that Ash studied/or had an interest in chemistry and engineering. and he was a horror fan because he's got a copy of fangoria in his trunk.

No but the actual extent that Yugi and Yami/Atem’s relationship from the OG Yugioh had on me as a kid. Young me was absolutely obsessed 🥹🥺
Their relationship is what made me latch into Oz and Oscar. Yeah their situations aren’t exactly the same but I recognize the similarities and I just love them both so damn much.
I loved Yugi and Yami’s brotherly relationship and I love Oz and Oscar’s to despite its 90% me depicting them having a father/son relationship (though Miles definitely helped with that since he basically validated it)
I totally believe that if Oscar and Yugi ever met they would be the best of friends. Yugi would give Oscar perspective on his situation with Oz and I think Yami would do the same for Ozpin.
I summon my friends who might understand me

Thinking about my dumb ass 11 years old self only hearing about Hunter x Hunter in a Yu-Gi-Oh! manga (yknow, like, the ads for other series at the end of the book) and thinking it would probably be too childish for my tastes based on the looks of it alone (the cover of volume 1)
I.... I could have discovered this masterpiece waaaaay sooner in my life but I was stopped by my stupid first thoughts
Instead I was obsessed on a manga about a magical card games, the (temporarily) evil soul of a dead pharaoh and (definitely) evil bishonen, one possessed by an angry egyptian man full of revenge and the other with basically trauma-induced DID...
I'm kinda sad that I didn't discover HxH sooner but I'm also kinda glad I didn't discover it at the sweet age of 11 because honestly
I was already pretty edgy for a 11 years old girl (Bakura and Marik were my favorite YGO characters after all)
I would have LOVED Hisoka
And I mean I do love him now but
Look,,,, I was c r i n g e
I don't want to imagine 11 yo me obsessed with that freaking clown lmaoooo

Yeah, Yugioh is my current new hyperfixation lmao. Meant to illustrate a baby version of TK Bakura being ultimately a pawn in the long run for Zorc but honestly imma leave this up to people’s interpretation, since I think this fits both TK Bakura and Ryou.
Also, the way I’m distinguishing them in my mind is: that Yami Bakura is a part of TK’s soul held together with fragments of Zorc; TK Bakura is the version of Bakura that is both the actual dark half of Bakura/the actual Bakura personality without Zorc’s influence; Ryou Bakura is our Bakura, the modern day incarnation of the mostly light portion of TK’s soul.
Also, drawing eyes and messing with procreate effects is pretty fun
