Talk to Me is the feature directorial debut of Danny and Michael Philippou, also known as RackaRacka, a pair of Australian brothers who rose to fame with their viral YouTube videos featuring over-the-top action and gore. The film stars Sophie Wilde as Mia, a bored teenager who joins her friends in a dangerous game of contacting the dead using an embalmed hand.

The film was praised for its inventive premise, its stunning practical effects, its dark humor, and its terrifying scares. Many critics compared it to classic horror films like The Evil Dead and The Exorcist, while also noting its relevance to contemporary issues like social media addiction and peer pressure.
