Ouija meets Flat Liners, Talk to Me presents us with a creepy ceramic hand that acts as a conduit to the other side, with malevolent spirits following rules well delineated from the start, and teenagers fooling about with it at parties like you know they would. Quite appropriately, there's a monkey's paw element to it - when Mia (Sophie Wilde) wants to reconnect with her dead mother, it's be careful what you wish for, and there's a big question as to what really happened to mom, and whether she's with the angels or the devils now. Ironic endings are in store for our Mia. The creep factor is pretty high, and there's some unpredictability in terms of plot, but I think what actually gives it its extra oomph is the setting. Rural Australia is just distinctive enough that the movie doesn't feel like just another bunch of suburban Californians a stone's throw from the Hollywood sign. Also, mad props to Miranda Otto as the other girl's mom, she's pretty great in this and really deserves a higher profile.
A different take on a Ouija Board. Not scary in the jump scare kind of sense, but definitely unsettling enough to be put into the horror category.
Animal gore warning:
there's a dying kangaroo on the road, mostly blood is seen, no guts. The kangaroo is later seen, leaving a trail of blood while "hopping" out of a room.
Gore warnings (mention of characters and any spoilers of the story itself, is kept to a minimum):
1.
someone stabs someone else in the chest and then themselves in the head (little to no blood, not much is seen besides the act)
2.
a teen is bashing their head on a table/desk/wall, multiple times. Later, they bash the back of their head on a tiled wall. Medium level of blood is seen. Bruises, discoloration and swelling is and will be shown.
3.
while the teen is bashing their head onto a table, they try to scoop their eye out with their fingers.
4.
someone is being stabbed in the neck. A tiny gush of blood is seen and this person is later seen with more blood over their face, hands and clothes due to this injury.

Pretty creepy! And a hell of an ending. Worth a watch.Cthulhu1
This film really has a grip on the subject matter, and its finger on the pulse of the spirit world. I really have to hand it to the creators.Ronet
