TALK TO ME (The Possession Conduit, Purgatory + Ending) EXPLAINED

Hey guys what’s happening? Niyat here with film comics explained. As requested today we’ll be exploring Talk to Me, the recently released supernatural horror written and directed by brothers Danny and Michael Philippou in their directorial debut.

Starring Sophie Wilde, Alexandra Jensen, Joe Bird, Otis Dhanji, Marcus Johnson and Miranda Otto, the Australian film introduces us to a group of thrill-seeking teens who find a peculiar pastime - communing with the dead using an embalmed hand, a relic shrouded in mystery.

Like every ghostly engagement, this one comes with rules, and when our protagonist Mia pushes the boundaries, the restless spirits are keen to make her pay.

The A24 production from the brothers, who rose to prominence with their viral videos on their RackaRacka YouTube channel, uses an original narrative, while winking at established cinematic motifs and real-world rituals, culminating in a hard-hitting finale.

Concurrently, the narrative threads Mia's ongoing struggle with her mother's fatal overdose and her desperate attempts to reconnect with her in the afterlife. But as we know, meddling with the dead comes at a cost, and Mia's fate leads us to a gut-wrenching vision of the afterlife that leaves us grappling with more questions than answers.
