Dare to unearth terror? Dive into A24’s highest-grossing horror film “Talk To Me,” where a game with the supernatural takes a terrifying turn.

What would you do if you could communicate with the other side? This is the premise of Talk to Me, A24’s highest-grossing horror film to date.

Directed by Australian twin filmmakers Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou, Talk to Me has been praised for its innovative storyline and spine-chilling scares. Set in suburban Adelaide, Talk to Me introduces us to a group of friends who stumble upon an addictive and dangerous new game. Using an embalmed hand, they discover they can conjure spirits, and what starts as an exhilarating foray into the supernatural quickly spirals into a terrifying ordeal.

At the center of this chilling narrative is Mia, portrayed by the incredibly talented Sophie Wilde (whose performance in the film got her a Critics' Choice Award, among many other distinctions). A teenager grappling with the suicide of her mother, Mia is both a social outcast and the life of the party, often taking things too far as she tries to cope with her grief.
