Talk To Me is available on VOD so i bought it tonight and I really liked it, however, I found it to be a lot sadder than I was expecting. I really wasn’t expecting it to be a journey about grief and the lengths one can/will go to feel connected again to a lost loved one. While there were glimpses of that aspect in the trailer, I feel like it ended up being more of that story than I thought it’d be. All that said, it was very good and I’m glad I watched.

The more I think about it the more I like it. The subtext of drug use throughout presented wallowing in grief as an addictive trait which I’d never seen/thought of before. Not as scary as I expected but the presentation more than made up for that IMO.

I didn't love TALK TO ME as much as I was hoping to, but it's very well made and acted.

we just wrapped it up and I also didn’t like it as much as I hoped. found the would-be protagonist extremely unlikable and that made it challenging to engage with.

You didn't expect an A24 horror film to be about

I mean I guess Aster did not do this one but still.

Anyone ever had a horror film you were either curious about or obsessed with; yet never actually watched?

Not exactly, but there are a few films where I know enough about them to know that I don't need/want to see them, such as SALO, MARTYRS, and A SERBIAN FILM.

I generally don't like exercises in misery.

Watch “No One Will Save You.” Unique, scary, and goes a direction you absolutely will not expect.

NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU is, indeed, really good.

What an ending!

It will never not make me sad that Michael gets reboot after reboot while Jason and Freddy are forced to sit collecting dust. Especially since they're better characters. Yeah, I said it!

Freddy is the one we need the most, but is the hardest to do because it simply would not be the same without Englund. You can toss anybody in a kirk mask or a hockey mask.

There is just one Freddy though.

Hell even Chucky would not work without Durif; sorry Mark Hamill enjoyers.

The ultimate Catch 22. You could get so creative with Freddy but yes, that casting needs to be absolutely nail on the head (and I think it should be someone who can do multiple films if successful so going for a big name wouldn't be my approach).

Hard disagree on anyone being able to play Jason or Michael though. There is a very stark difference between someone more stiff and rigid and cumbersome under the mask than some like Kane Hodder, who literally plays Jason as an entirely fleshed out character with his own quirks and intricacies. The Hodder Friday films are some of the most wildly different and tonal movies amongst the entire franchise but his Jason always feels like the same living and breathing character, whether he's fighting Carrie, jumping between bodies, in Manhattan or in space.
