On Halloween, I rented Talk to Me, a horror movie I had been hearing about throughout the spooky season. It’s a rare occasion when a movie is as good as its hype, and this one certainly was.
I particularly liked how the paranormal was introduced in the story, keeping the viewer ignorant of it until the protagonist discovered it. At the start of the film, I was skeptical of the party trick until I experienced it with the protagonist. And, from that point on, I was captivated.
What separated Talk to Me from other horror movies was its social commentary on addictions. The horror of the paranormal with the impacts of drugs on individuals and youth was very well done.
