They use the hand like a drug so of course some spirits were going to take advantage of Mia's grief and Riley's innocence. My fave horror film this year
Hayley and the keeper of the hand used it way many times more than mia and riley. Why they are not haunted? Why only Mia and Riley? It’s becuase they both went over the time limit when they used the hand.
My favorite detail is when he asks his friend "do you think if you do it once itll give you cancer?" Talking about the cigarette, and then he tries the hand once and has the worst reaction out of anyone in the group, almost dying. Really proves that drugs can also have that effect on people, where once is life changing forever.
The bloated woman who was the first ghost Mia saw possessed her and pretended to be her mom to convince Mia to kill Riley and when that didn’t work, to kill herself so the ghosts/demons had her. That’s why you always see the bloating/hear water in the background after Mia goes home. Because she went over 90 seconds, the portal was open. If she would have stopped using the hand, the ghosts eventually would go away like duckett said. Because she didn’t the ghosts stayed. It is a metaphor for drug addiction.
She never went back the bloated woman because remember when she was talking about he’ll split you that kangaroo that they saw in the street was half dead half life. It was split so when she came back into her body that water woman who played the game before, but she had drowned. She went into the kangaroo. That’s why we see the kangaroo again later on. I’m convinced that the woman that drown played the game before because Mia got hit by a car and then a very end the hand that’s on the other side a guy was gonna let her in in Greek. He sees Mia who got ran over by a car.
I saw this movie in theaters. Went in blind- which made it even better because I had no idea what to expect. It was so good and so original. It's for sure a movie that you uncover more layers when you rewatch it. Thanks for the reaction, guys!
maybe i’m a Mia apologist but here is my unpopular opinion: i feel like Joss and Hayley are way more at fault for what happened to Riley than Mia is. they knew what happened to Duckett and ignored and made fun of Jade for saying that Riley can’t do it but listened to her friend say yes he can? and then ganged up on her at the bus stop? Riley couldn’t sleep the night after the first hand possession but Jade still let him watch it again? (Mia was hooked and Jade was smart enough to not do it so she wasn’t attached or addicted to the hand)
yes! mia def shouldn't of said it was okay, but literally no one else said anything and they all agreed to him participating. and then jade embarrassed riley in front of everyone to make a point and then said "like youre my favorite person in the world." coupled with the fact that she HAS been distant from everyone and focused on daniel. mia isn't the only person who fucked up here, everyone was responsible for what happened to riley. im a mia apologist 100%
@@toothdecay2001 right. the movie really showed the flaws (some way worse than others) in all of the characters. i like to see all sides of a situation and since i hadn’t seen anyone else make this point, i thought i was alone. so i’m glad to see you guys agree😂
@@strawberrybubble me too 😭 i keep seeing people get so mad at mia like her friends but!! she isn't the only one at fault here!! and it's so obvious as to why she makes the choices that she does. it isn't excusable, but it makes her much more sympathetic. at least to me
It's even better of a ending when you realize mia wasn't redeemed at all. She didn't jump, if you watch closely at the end you see jade push her ass into oncoming traffic by looking at the window of the car that hit her.
If you slow it down, you can see in the drivers side window of the car that hits Mia that Jade actually pushes Mia into the road, Mia didnt jump. Its also why Jade isnt worried about Mia and just hugging Riley while Mia lays in the road
Never noticed that… I thought Mia jumped because the demon pretending to be her mom said something along the lines of “now he’ll be with us forever” and it goes back to what Joss and Hayley were saying when Mia was first trying out the hand
@@dylanaxel2723You’re partially correct. Mia realizes she’s being tricked when her “mother” says that, hence why she lets go of the wheelchair. I think they just added jade pushing her for some sort of justice.
That's a bit of a bummer for me now that I saw it. I mean, it's good to see Jade finally protecting her little brother and I guess it's kind of a "justice" thing, but when I was watching this for the first time at a movie theater I thought it was actually Mia's own choice to do the jump, like for a second there she realizes what she's doing, then thinking about her "mother" and what she said about "looking after her dad" earlier that she would've started to think that her mother could also look after her and take care of her in the "afterlife" and then she would've decided to sacrifice her own life in exchange to get Riley back.
Mia actually had a change of mind at the end when her "mom" said "We'll have him forever", she knew in that moment that it wasn't her mother, but then Jade pushed Mia and she landed in front of the car.
I think the creepiest part for me was the kids laughing and not taking it seriously. If I was there, I wouldn't want to do any of that. Ghosts may or may not be real, but why invite something into your life like that!? smh. I was just glad that the brother didn't die after it was all said and done.
You answered your own question. If you don't believe in the supernatural - which fewer and fewer people do these days, thank fuck - then you wouldn't believe you were "inviting" anything in, so the answer is: they'd do it because they have no reason to believe it will harm them, any more than using a Ouija board, or a mirror in a bowl of water, or playing "Supernatural Hide-and-Seek" has "harmed" me.
horror film of the year, idc. not for the scares or anything, but bc they took a concept that has been used time and time again and made it into a really unique & realistic one. which made this movie much more thrilling imo.
I don’t know if anyone agrees but the first time riley tried it, that change in his features when he saw the spirit gave me goosebumps, I love how they focused on his subtle facial expressions instead of showing us what he’s seeing
One thing I really respect about this movie is it knows exactly when to use jumpscares and gore without overusing them, it makes those moments feel way more earned
They are making a sequel! 😄 The directors said they have enough content to make a trilogy AND a prequel, so long as people keep enjoying them. I think they've started on the sequel already. Hopefully no more kids this time!😅
Spoiler Theories: the drowned woman that Mia first let in mimicked her mother throughout the film. Pay attention to the sound design (it gives u the most clues), the water sounds show up with the mom and the mom looks more and more bloated and wet as the movie progresses. Also, the “they keep you” theory is that if u are still being possessed by the ghosts in their further, u go w/ them if u die but that’s only if u reinforce their presence in u. Mia kept using the hand so her body wasn’t rejecting them like Riley’s was at the end. So much to think about in this movie and it’s a great metaphor for drug addiction. Rob’s reaction was so genuine and I’m getting more and more impressed with Zuff’s prediction skills the more I watch y’all. Keep up the good work! 🙌🏾
Jade 100% pushed Mia which is why she ended up dying, I know it’s not shown but yeah it sucks but also Mia got to a point where she didn’t care about anyone’s safety because she was “addicted” to the hand. The movie talks a lot about drugs if that makes sense, personally a lot of people have said her mom was never there (maybe she was the first time in Riley) but I think because she committed suicide she’s one of the lost ones and she was twisted as well and of course being possessed by the drowned water ghost and being manipulated by her mothers lost spirit she was never going to make it
I don't think Mia's mom was ever actually there. I think the ghost who had Riley manipulated both of them, especially considering the conversation they'd had just the night before.
This movie hands down is the best horror movie of 2023. Such a great movie, very creepy, intense, disturbing & very unsettling. Great reaction you guys! What a great start to spooky season. 🙏🏻
absolutely love this movie .. it took me like my 4th watch of this movie to notice but at the end Mia doesn’t jump, Jade pushes her !! you can see by Mia’s facial expression when her mom shows up that she’s being tricked and she lets go of Riley .. but Jade just seeing her brother in a wheelchair about to be pushed into oncoming traffic didnt bother reasoning with Mia and just killed her .. if you pay attention to the left side when they enter the car pov you can kinda see it !!
@12:55 Racka Racka and Sidemen have been friends for years. Simon/Minimimter said that Racka Racka called and said that they needed a video for that scene and asked him if they could use a Sidemen video for it lol
Easily the best horror movie of 2023. Everyone's Acting was gorgeous. And to think bunch of Aussie TH-camrs did a "Hereditary" level psychological horror, props to them, holy. And bottom line: Don't get addicted to drugs
I’m so glad I got to catch this film in the theater! It’s such a clever metaphor for drug abuse, the only solution was to “wait it out” and stop using the hand
I saw this in theaters and was expecting a lot of jumpscares and I heard about some gore, but was pleasantly surprised that it did a really good job of just making me feel uneasy the whole time. It's not always so in your face but it has you on edge.
5:48 as an australian, I can tell you yes it is illegal to go out of your way to run over/hit a kangaroo (not sure how the circumstances change in this case when it’s already dying), and only people who have a license can kill them. we can also buy kangaroo meat in stores.
Guys, at the end, Mia did die. The Spirits from the hand wanted someone to get killed for them to take their soul, and Riley was the favorite one, that's why they tried so hard to get himself killed. Mia found out about this so she decided to kill herself so that the spirits left Riley alone. And the confusing transitions at the end from the road to the hospital was because a pretty long time has passed away and Riley was leaving the hospital cause he was good at that moment. Plus the father was so calm because of the time jump too. The time is very relative in this movie also, because at the final scene the hand it's already in what it looks to be Greece, and maybe that's what makes it a bit confusing.
You can see Jade push Riley if you slow down and watch the scene frame by frame. Mia would have pushed Riley if given the chance bc she was convinced that she was helping Riley. At the hospital, I interpreted Mia’s father getting into the elevator as him “moving on” to an after life. I think the time transitions were to show that the ghosts aren’t perceiving time like us.
@@anontay916 It's unclear if she got pushed by Jade or not. If you watch the scene you can see Jade reaching the place where Mia was with Riley, but it's not clear if she pushed her. Although, it's very clear that Mia decides not to kill Riley at the very end (she took her hands off the wheelchair). Personally i think that Mia decided to kill herself probably to be with her mother in what she thought it was gonna be the afterlife, obviously fooled by the spirits in the hand.
This film is a great metaphor for drug use/abuse. Not positive if the filmmakers intended that, but the parallels are definitely there. The dilated pupils when “possessed”, the deep breath after saying “I let you in”, the peer pressure, it being fun but also dangerous, using “the hand” as an escape or a way of coping with grief for Mia…. there’s more. It was soooo well done.
I think the scariest part of this movie is sort of realizing or at least questioning who the ghosts/spirits are. They want to believe it's real random people who died or in the case of the main character want to believe it's your mom. But they're just evil and exploiting fears and desires. All this happened in the movie because she wanted to believe she was talking to her mom and she never actually was.
I genuinely hated mia for letting riley do that,my sibling instincts kicked in so bad watching the riley scenes☹, mia wouldve caught these hands and these elbows, if that was my little brother 😢
mf his sister literally left him alone with a bunch of users (if we’re going off the drug metaphor) bc she got her feelings hurt! tf you mean you’d beat Mia up, she has 0 authority over him, BEAT JADE UP
Can someone from patreon request the movie “Mother” with Jennifer Lawrence? Please, that part with Riley getting eating by those demons it reminded me to one scene from Mother too
I saw this film in theaters with my friend, and oh my gosh. We were so spooked out. But it was an incredible film and I can't wait to watch it again. 💕💀 Also 18:32 - 19:10 is by far your best reactions yet. 🤣💕
I just literally watched this last night. It's not that scary for me but it definitely gives me thrill and excitement on what would hapoen next. The storybuilding is pretty straightforward and consistent that's why I think I enjoyed it. I didn't even notice that the movie ended already. I want them to expand the lore more. The actors are promising and the prosthetics are awesome. 💕
the fact that the hand is a metaphor for substance abuse and the montage scene……also the fact that the person with no support systemm ended up being the one who let the hand or drug take over
It was like 12 AM when I went to watch this movie in the cinema and it was so eerily quiet and deserted when we came out I was sooo creeped I hardly slept it played on my mindd😂
I think I shouted “HOLY FUCK!!!” In the theater when I saw it. It was an empty theater so I was comfortable… until I wasn’t. Then I stayed uncomfortable for a couple days. Best scary movie in a very long time
Saw this in the theaters and was genuinely so shook and left feeling creeped tf out. This movie is on the same level as Hereditary imo. Clicked on this video so fast, love your reactions and happy it’s a first time watch for all 3 of y’all🥳
As an Aussie I've been getting such a kick out of everyone reacting to this. Fun fact, if you find a native animal suffering the way they did, we are required by law to put them out of their misery in the most humane way possible. Since our rangers are unfortunately not allowed to carry guns anymore, they use their cars if its a large animal. No one understands how brutally accurate that scene was.
At the end Mia realized that the spirt was not her mom, thats why she let go. But i think Jade pushed mia into the street. And the dad was going up in the elevator (up to heaven) and mia is now stuck in limbo
Came back to this video to let you know that Talk To Me is now the winner of eight Australian Film Awards, including Best Film of 2023, Best Direction and Best Lead Actress for Sophie Wilde (Mia)
Bought the hand the second it dropped, likely the best horror of 2023 (even though it’s technically a 2022 movie the wide release wasn’t until this year). I thought it was overhyped but it’s legit a good movie with great acting and a ton of heart and guts.
This film was so well done the psychological horror that they played into and gore and just over feeling it gives off although I could gladly say the only way I will rewatch it is through reactions it’s just made me feel icky and not fun but a great horror movie truly knows how to make an audience uncomfortable, The symbolism of drug use through the hand is amazing as well unbelievable that it was their first movie, Nervous but can’t wait for the prequel I think they are making
16:11 For real, I'm 40 and my younger sisters give me shit all the time about using legal weed, so no way I'd be like yeah sure go get demon possessed at a party, it's your life, NO, so what you're an adult you'll always be the baby sisters I have to protect. Just change the context, if it was "Come on Jade, just let Riley do a TINY BIT of fentanyl, it'll be cool, look, everyone else is high AF and doing fine, it's totally safe, hell even YOU did some"...
This Movie Was Great ✨👏🏾 😌 But I’m Sorry At Some Point She Caused Her Own Death On Herself When She Didn’t Take His Hand Off Of It At 50 Seconds… SHE HAD ONE JOB‼️🤦🏾♀️🎥🍿🤷🏾♀️💯 Regardless Of Her Grieving Over Her Mother’s Death…Which Is Sad 😞 You Should Know If Your Using A Hand That Was Cut Off Of A Man That Used To Talk To The Dead/Demons…😳 No Good Is Gonna Come To It…Sadly To Say That Wasn’t Even Her Mom That Was A Demon Trying To Lower Her In Basically…Cause They Knew She Was Emotional/Mentally Weak At The Time Within Missing Her Mom So Much
Yes she died at the end and became a spirit that people can see with the hand. I think the spirit who she let in first was the one pretending to be her mother. You heard a lot of water when she was around and the original spirit looked bloated like maybe she’d been drowned?? What the intentions of the spirit were idk…just to wreck that poor girls life I guess.
I honestly think you guys should start reacting to Reply 1988. One of the best kdramas of all time, actually best kdrama of all time according to a lot of people. Please give it a try. You'll love it.
I told myself if Robb had seen this one already too I was turning this shit off! (100% cap I would never I was super looking forward to this) with that being said I’m super hype that none of you have seen this before let’s gooooo!!!
I literally can’t watch most horror. I’ll sit there w my eyes closed literally the entire time. That being said: this movie is so dope that even tho I had my eyes shut in fear I was still SHAKING IN THE THEATER
movie was great fun but i had a hard time processing the fact that everyone just forgot about the ghost possessing hand at the end and blamed Mia for it all. and those two boys who knowingly passed the hand around after Duckett died need to be jailed ASAP. but yet, none of Mia's friends or etc called them out on any of that; just one line from the surviving brother.
yesss!! this movie was amazing. i had to reupload my reaction video because youtube blocked it when i uploaded it a month ago :( POOR FRIGGIN RILEY.. i just, it all could’ve been avoided 😭😭😭
"Talk To Me" offers a captivating narrative with several intriguing elements. As I interpret the story's progression, the drowned woman successfully possesses Mia within the allotted time frame. Subsequently, she manipulates Mia's emotional vulnerabilities tied to her mother's death. Throughout the film, the recurring sound of water serves as a thematic element. In the final shot, the apparent image of Mia's mother behind her and Riley at the underpass is revealed to be the drowned woman, indicated by the flowing water down her hair and face. Regarding the conclusion, a unique perspective is that Jade, Mia's friend, is the one who pushes Mia into oncoming traffic, ultimately saving her brother. In the sequence depicting the approaching vehicle, Mia and Riley are seen on the curb, while a third figure, resembling Jade, is positioned behind them. This interpretation suggests that Jade's actions were driven by her protective instincts towards her brother, even if there were potential witnesses to the incident.
So I really like this movie I recommend watching it more than once to really understand how the hand works I'm pretty sure the spirit that was covered in water and looked like it had drowned was the one that mia was being tortured by because she let that spirit in and went over 90 seconds. It pretended to be her mother in order in either take Mia or Riley Mia's mother was not killed from anything to do with water and yet whenever her mother appears she looks similar to the drowned spirit and proceeds to get more water logged as the film goes on because the spirit pretending to be her is getting weaker As for the ending I think it's supposed to be slightly ambiguous how Mia ended up in the road but I'm pretty sure Jade pushed her to save her brother because Mia hesitated in that last moment

Guys, at the end, Mia did die. The Spirits from the hand wanted someone to get killed for them to take their soul, and Riley was the favorite one, that's why they tried so hard to get himself killed. Mia found out about this so she decided to kill herself so that the spirits left Riley alone. And the confusing transitions at the end from the road to the hospital was because a pretty long time has passed away and Riley was leaving the hospital cause he was good at that moment. Plus the father was so calm because of the time jump too. The time is very relative in this movie also, because at the final scene the hand it's already in what it looks to be Greece, and maybe that's what makes it a bit confusing.
You can see Jade push Riley if you slow down and watch the scene frame by frame. Mia would have pushed Riley if given the chance bc she was convinced that she was helping Riley. At the hospital, I interpreted Mia’s father getting into the elevator as him “moving on” to an after life. I think the time transitions were to show that the ghosts aren’t perceiving time like us.
Apparently, it was jade who killed mia by pushing her on the road
@@anontay916 It's unclear if she got pushed by Jade or not. If you watch the scene you can see Jade reaching the place where Mia was with Riley, but it's not clear if she pushed her. Although, it's very clear that Mia decides not to kill Riley at the very end (she took her hands off the wheelchair). Personally i think that Mia decided to kill herself probably to be with her mother in what she thought it was gonna be the afterlife, obviously fooled by the spirits in the hand.
This film is a great metaphor for drug use/abuse. Not positive if the filmmakers intended that, but the parallels are definitely there. The dilated pupils when “possessed”, the deep breath after saying “I let you in”, the peer pressure, it being fun but also dangerous, using “the hand” as an escape or a way of coping with grief for Mia…. there’s more. It was soooo well done.
yes because drug addiction is positive!😁….🤦🏻♀️
I think the scariest part of this movie is sort of realizing or at least questioning who the ghosts/spirits are. They want to believe it's real random people who died or in the case of the main character want to believe it's your mom. But they're just evil and exploiting fears and desires. All this happened in the movie because she wanted to believe she was talking to her mom and she never actually was.
I genuinely hated mia for letting riley do that,my sibling instincts kicked in so bad watching the riley scenes☹, mia wouldve caught these hands and these elbows, if that was my little brother 😢
mf his sister literally left him alone with a bunch of users (if we’re going off the drug metaphor) bc she got her feelings hurt! tf you mean you’d beat Mia up, she has 0 authority over him, BEAT JADE UP
@@pillowvibesboth of them deserve to get beat up in my opinion
Why only jade beat mia up too? Both of them did riley wrong
@@pillowvibesinfact the whole fault is Hayley and fkin josh not Mia's and Jade's
Ya'll love to find someone else to blame
This movie really surprised me love that u guys reacted to this!!!
Can someone from patreon request the movie “Mother” with Jennifer Lawrence? Please, that part with Riley getting eating by those demons it reminded me to one scene from Mother too
Would definitely recommend to watch her collaborated projects ,portable door ,everything now& boys swallows universe
I saw this film in theaters with my friend, and oh my gosh. We were so spooked out. But it was an incredible film and I can't wait to watch it again. 💕💀
Also 18:32 - 19:10 is by far your best reactions yet. 🤣💕
Saw it in the cinema when it came out such great performances and having directors who started out on TH-cam make this was so cool great reaction guys
watched this on its first day of showing and bruh, easily one of my favorite horror movies of all time
I just literally watched this last night. It's not that scary for me but it definitely gives me thrill and excitement on what would hapoen next. The storybuilding is pretty straightforward and consistent that's why I think I enjoyed it. I didn't even notice that the movie ended already. I want them to expand the lore more. The actors are promising and the prosthetics are awesome. 💕
the fact that the hand is a metaphor for substance abuse and the montage scene……also the fact that the person with no support systemm ended up being the one who let the hand or drug take over
It was like 12 AM when I went to watch this movie in the cinema and it was so eerily quiet and deserted when we came out I was sooo creeped I hardly slept it played on my mindd😂
I think I shouted “HOLY FUCK!!!” In the theater when I saw it. It was an empty theater so I was comfortable… until I wasn’t. Then I stayed uncomfortable for a couple days. Best scary movie in a very long time
I can't get over Zuff's face 😂😂 18:42
Saw this in the theaters and was genuinely so shook and left feeling creeped tf out. This movie is on the same level as Hereditary imo. Clicked on this video so fast, love your reactions and happy it’s a first time watch for all 3 of y’all🥳
Many thanks to Zuff, Rob & Bryce! 🫲 I love this one. #ReelTime #DannyPhilippou #MichaelPhilippou #TalkToMe #TalkToMe2023
By far my favorite movie this year. Saw it twice in theaters
Don’t have much to say other than I love the channel and am commenting so the algorithm spreads it to more people 😂
Thisnis a prime example of why you don't mess with demons and the spirit world especially if you don't know what you are doing
You all did such a great job at predicting what was going on.
Me and my bff drove 50 miles to a non-air conditioned theater just to see this movie. LOL. No regrets!
As an Aussie I've been getting such a kick out of everyone reacting to this.
Fun fact, if you find a native animal suffering the way they did, we are required by law to put them out of their misery in the most humane way possible. Since our rangers are unfortunately not allowed to carry guns anymore, they use their cars if its a large animal. No one understands how brutally accurate that scene was.
Joss was the perfect comedic relief lol
Wow! I completely forgot about Rackaracka. I remember watching their Ronald Mcdonald videos.
What I saw this in theaters, it was a lot more graphic than I thought it would be 😭
At the end Mia realized that the spirt was not her mom, thats why she let go. But i think Jade pushed mia into the street. And the dad was going up in the elevator (up to heaven) and mia is now stuck in limbo
Came back to this video to let you know that Talk To Me is now the winner of eight Australian Film Awards, including Best Film of 2023, Best Direction and Best Lead Actress for Sophie Wilde (Mia)
Bought the hand the second it dropped, likely the best horror of 2023 (even though it’s technically a 2022 movie the wide release wasn’t until this year). I thought it was overhyped but it’s legit a good movie with great acting and a ton of heart and guts.
This film was so well done the psychological horror that they played into and gore and just over feeling it gives off although I could gladly say the only way I will rewatch it is through reactions it’s just made me feel icky and not fun but a great horror movie truly knows how to make an audience uncomfortable, The symbolism of drug use through the hand is amazing as well unbelievable that it was their first movie, Nervous but can’t wait for the prequel I think they are making
nothing about this movie was confusing lol... it was pretty easy to understand lol
great reaction! youtube better fix notifications i swear to god, i'm missing out on so many of your vids 🥲 p.s. love the haircut, Rob!
Kids an amazing actor
Why is that run run run thing horrifying sounds like a mix of run and barking dog loool
If you watch her "mom " through out the movie she gets wetter and bloated like the first one she let in
16:11 For real, I'm 40 and my younger sisters give me shit all the time about using legal weed, so no way I'd be like yeah sure go get demon possessed at a party, it's your life, NO, so what you're an adult you'll always be the baby sisters I have to protect.
Just change the context, if it was "Come on Jade, just let Riley do a TINY BIT of fentanyl, it'll be cool, look, everyone else is high AF and doing fine, it's totally safe, hell even YOU did some"...
Ok Rob with the fresh haircut. Looking like Harry Potter year 5
This Movie Was Great ✨👏🏾 😌 But I’m Sorry At Some Point She Caused Her Own Death On Herself When She Didn’t Take His Hand Off Of It At 50 Seconds… SHE HAD ONE JOB‼️🤦🏾♀️🎥🍿🤷🏾♀️💯
Regardless Of Her Grieving Over Her Mother’s Death…Which Is Sad 😞 You Should Know If Your Using A Hand That Was Cut Off Of A Man That Used To Talk To The Dead/Demons…😳 No Good Is Gonna Come To It…Sadly To Say That Wasn’t Even Her Mom That Was A Demon Trying To Lower Her In Basically…Cause They Knew She Was Emotional/Mentally Weak At The Time Within Missing Her Mom So Much
Yes she died at the end and became a spirit that people can see with the hand. I think the spirit who she let in first was the one pretending to be her mother. You heard a lot of water when she was around and the original spirit looked bloated like maybe she’d been drowned?? What the intentions of the spirit were idk…just to wreck that poor girls life I guess.
I honestly think you guys should start reacting to Reply 1988. One of the best kdramas of all time, actually best kdrama of all time according to a lot of people. Please give it a try. You'll love it.
We need a 'Me Before You' movie commentary !!!!
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
You scared the shit out of me, Rob 💀 25:02
I told myself if Robb had seen this one already too I was turning this shit off! (100% cap I would never I was super looking forward to this) with that being said I’m super hype that none of you have seen this before let’s gooooo!!!
Yesss love this movie. 🖤
been waiting guys! thank you for the reaction:D
Bryce be looking snackish lately
Zuff is looking good :p such a babe
Danny and Michael are good friends with all the Sidemen boys they've done heaps of collab videos together thats why the little cameo was in there
Great reaction! And I love that sweatshirt, Rob! 💛🤍💜🖤
I've been waiting for you to watch this! I love you guys :)
I literally can’t watch most horror. I’ll sit there w my eyes closed literally the entire time. That being said: this movie is so dope that even tho I had my eyes shut in fear I was still SHAKING IN THE THEATER
Yeah the sound design is crazy in this movie so I'm sure it was still a freaky experience
Honestly, once you said talk to me and saw them ain't no way, we're letting them in😂
i've been waiting for you guys to react to this!
if i remember correctly the prequel is supposed to be through the perspective of social media and iphone cameras
"I'm soft, I'm robe, I'm brace" (I'm sorry lol.)
You guys are my favorite!!!!
movie was great fun but i had a hard time processing the fact that everyone just forgot about the ghost possessing hand at the end and blamed Mia for it all. and those two boys who knowingly passed the hand around after Duckett died need to be jailed ASAP. but yet, none of Mia's friends or etc called them out on any of that; just one line from the surviving brother.
yesss!! this movie was amazing.
i had to reupload my reaction video because youtube blocked it when i uploaded it a month ago :(
POOR FRIGGIN RILEY.. i just, it all could’ve been avoided 😭😭😭
Should watch speak no evil next 😊
There's not going to be a sequel. She screwed up and she's dead. What more story could there possibly be?
"Talk To Me" offers a captivating narrative with several intriguing elements. As I interpret the story's progression, the drowned woman successfully possesses Mia within the allotted time frame. Subsequently, she manipulates Mia's emotional vulnerabilities tied to her mother's death. Throughout the film, the recurring sound of water serves as a thematic element. In the final shot, the apparent image of Mia's mother behind her and Riley at the underpass is revealed to be the drowned woman, indicated by the flowing water down her hair and face.
Regarding the conclusion, a unique perspective is that Jade, Mia's friend, is the one who pushes Mia into oncoming traffic, ultimately saving her brother. In the sequence depicting the approaching vehicle, Mia and Riley are seen on the curb, while a third figure, resembling Jade, is positioned behind them. This interpretation suggests that Jade's actions were driven by her protective instincts towards her brother, even if there were potential witnesses to the incident.
So I really like this movie I recommend watching it more than once to really understand how the hand works
I'm pretty sure the spirit that was covered in water and looked like it had drowned was the one that mia was being tortured by because she let that spirit in and went over 90 seconds. It pretended to be her mother in order in either take Mia or Riley
Mia's mother was not killed from anything to do with water and yet whenever her mother appears she looks similar to the drowned spirit and proceeds to get more water logged as the film goes on because the spirit pretending to be her is getting weaker
As for the ending I think it's supposed to be slightly ambiguous how Mia ended up in the road but I'm pretty sure Jade pushed her to save her brother because Mia hesitated in that last moment
