Review of Talk to Me (2023) by Bameron — 28 Jul 2023
Great premise and a solid first act - brutal and uncompromising from the jump, some nice buildup of dread, and some pretty gnarly practical effects and visuals - but it sags under the weight of its logic about midway through. The ending doesn’t pack the punch it needs to because the trauma the main character harbors feels too generic. Should be a brutal twist of the knife or at least cathartic, but ultimately just feels predictable.
The filmmakers clearly have an eye for horror, but maybe not the chops yet to sustain a full feature.
