‘Talk to Me’ – New Trailer for A24 Horror Movie Turns Possession into a Viral Party Game

Talk to Me Trailer #2

Move over Ouija boards, the newest occult party game is here. And so is a brand new trailer for A24’s Talk to Me, an upcoming summer horror event slated for theatrical release on July 28, 2023.

Talk to Me marks the feature directorial debut of twin brother filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou, best known for their popular YouTube channel, RackaRacka, which boasts a following of 6.7M subscribers.

The brutal terror of Talk to Me unfolds when “a group of friends discover how to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand; they become hooked on the new thrill until one of them goes too far and unleashes terrifying supernatural forces.”

Check out the latest trailer below for a peek at the horror that ensues when a group of teens decide to dabble with the occult as a party craze. The Ouija board has nothing on the embalmed hand and the terror it unleashes. As teased below, expect those thrills to give way to chills as the game’s rules get tested in ways that bring intense scares.

Sophia Wilde, Miranda Otto, Alexandra Jensen, Joe Bird, Otis Djanji, and Zoe Terakes star.

The Philippou brothers direct from a script by Danny Philippou and Bill Hinzman. Talk to Me is produced by Samantha Jennings and Kristina Ceyton.

In my Sundance review for BD, I wrote, “Talk to Me delivers an intense, nightmarish horror movie that’ll leave you breathless.” My review continued, “There’s a refreshing ruthlessness to this cautionary tale that plays like a surge of adrenaline; it makes for one hell of an introduction to Danny and Michael Philippou’s brand of horror.” The film also inspired a bidding war out of Sundance, so don’t miss one of the year’s buzziest horror titles.

Will Talk to Me hold your hand on the way to hell? Find out when the brutal new entry in horror releases in theaters on July 28, 2023.
