Talk To Me (2022)

Released July 28, 2023 in the US.

Filmed entirely in Australia.

The story: Mia is a young woman battling with the memory of her mother's suicide last year.

Instead of taking comfort in staying with her father, she has taken up short-term residency with friend Jade, her little brother Riley, and their mother.
Mia cannot get over her mother's passing no matter how much she tries, and today marks its anniversary, which doesn't help.

Attempting to get Mia out of her slump, Jade gets her to go to a party.

Mia agrees to take Riley along as well, although Jade doesn't agree with the decision.

At the party, a group of people decide they want to try their hand at an out-of-this-world game.

The game involves an embalmed hand and conjuring spirits...

While said lone player plays along, the rest of the group watches while recording what happens with their phone.

Jade isn't all about the game, but Mia is and decides she will be the one who plays for the group.

What everyone sees is terrifying but equally exciting. 

After so many seconds, the conjuring of the spirit is ended, and life goes on without any hitches.

But the people who play become obsessed with playing and decide they need to play more and more, each one involved taking their turn as the sole player.

When Mia plays again, she believes she sees her mother, which makes her crave playing.

After 14-year-old Riley sits in on two of these events, he wants to play as well, although Jade forbids him to play.

Riley whines that he isn't allowed to be involved in playing until Mia gives in to his pleas.

What ends up happening, no one would have ever guessed, and it's just the beginning of a very dangerous end.
