The first trailer has been released for “Talk to Me,” the new horror film from distributor A24 and the feature directorial debut of Australian twin brother filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou.
The pair, best known for their YouTube channel RackaRacka, helm this tale that begins when a group of friends discover how to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand.
They become hooked on the new thrill, until one of them goes too far and unleashes terrifying supernatural forces. The trailer puts the focus on the one who goes too far and seemingly becomes taken over by some malevolent force.
Sophia Wilde, Joe Bird, Alexandra Jensen, Otis Dhanji, Miranda Otto, Marcus Johnson, Alexandria Steffensen, Zoe Terakes and Chris Alosio star.
The film premiered this year at the Sundance Film Festival to rave reviews leading to A24 acquiring the North American distribution rights in a fierce bidding war.
It has since screened at Berlinale, SXSW, and the Overlook Festival. It joins A24’s stable of elevated horror films like “The Witch,” “Hereditary,” “Midsommar,” “The Lighthouse,” “X,” “Green Room” and “Under the Skin”.
“Talk to Me” is set to open in theaters nationwide on July 28th.
