The Big Picture Barbenheimer may still be all the rage, but A24's Talk to Me has still managed to carve out a place of its own. The possession horror from YouTuber stars and first-time directors Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou has been hyped up as one of the biggest and most exciting scary flicks of the summer and now the box office is reflecting that. The little film made on a budget of only $4.
With such a strong performance, Talk to Me is making a case to be 2023's breakout horror hit despite some tough competition with films like M3GAN, Skinamarink, and The Outwaters. Part of that is due to the support it received coming out of the 2023 Sundance Film Festival. Reviews were over the moon about the handsy new horror from the RackaRacka duo with the Philippous immediately putting studios on watch.
What Is Talk To Me About? Talk to Me is set up like a traditional possession horror before going down a sickeningly scary route. It's centered on a group of friends who discover they can conjure spirits with a cursed embalmed hand by holding it and uttering the words "talk to me." They're immediately addicted to the rush of the twisted party game until one of them messes up and welcomes horrifying beings into their world.
Already, studios are capitalizing on the success of the buzzy new directors. They were tapped earlier this year by Legendary Entertainment to helm an adaptation of the Capcom fighting game series Street Fighter, promising big action setpieces while running with the lore built up throughout the franchise. Assuming A24 were willing, they'd also like to continue the Talk to Me universe beyond this first horrifying feature.
