I had no idea this was a CZcamsr movie because a. I saw actual ads for it b. the movie (in contrast to every other CZcamsr movie I know of) looked professional and technically competent
when a movie is made with love and apssion and not for money or fame, you would be surprised at how amazing those movies can be. now a days its all crap.
I went to school in Syd and I love how authentically Stayan the film is and somehow it totally covered (at least imo) the best and worst part of Australian public high school party culture. It was also cool seeing the people you knew/ know represented, it was crazy as a Kiwi hearing someone say “Sup Uce” in a global blockbuster lol.
What is truly insane is Danny wrote it in like 6 hours (I think it was around the time he was dating Riley Reid (or just after), he made some tweaks and changes over the 3yrs where they tried to get a company to make it. But nobody even read it so they made it themselves, got it into Sundance and A24 picked it up and now they have been getting praised by people like Peter Jackson and Hideo Kojima
Honestly they way you can tell when a movie is gonna be good, is how passionate the creator is about it, and mark ABSOLUTLY seems passionate about his work with this movie, i have no doubt it will be great.
I think the intent of the toe sucking scene was to make Mia look crazy.. It was a tipping point for her character, and I think the spirits were manipulating her to alienate her even further.
not me thinking it was playing on people's fears to stick their feet out of the blankets while sleeping😭 cuz it's common for people to think monsters under the bed or something will grab your feet
@@GermaphobeMusicNo, this is definitely relevant. The drowned spirit (which looks like the toe sucking lady if you take away all the blue and dropping imo) is friends with the pervert spirit in Riley. They immediately knew the pervert spirit would like him and then manipulated Mia so they could *all* keep him, after all there were multiple spirits in the purgatory horror house torturing Riley. So, I think the toe sucking loops the audience in that the drowned spirit is a pervert too and definitely doing horrendous things to Rileys spirit when not dressing up as Mias parents.
Horror is getting a really good renaissance because we’re seeing artists who were inspired by great horror. I firmly believe that horror is the best genre of film and I’m so glad we’re getting such great stuff now.

I think where Talk 2 Me goes right is that they actually tried and put more than just “yeah let’s just put a CZcamsrs on this and call it a day” RackaRacka not only had a studio behind them but they actually had a passion for film making and I hope Markiplier keeps this trend going with HIS horror movie Iron Lung. Congrats to my fellow Aussie boys and excited for the sequel.
I agree with you but they made the movie independently and A24 just bought the rights to the film at the Sundance film festival after it was already finished. Honestly makes their achievement even more impressive.
They mentioned in an interview that they were initially picked up by a studio for the production. Problem was the studio didn't waste time with getting into making script changes, which didn't sit right with the rackaracka brothers, so they opted to do it independently.
@eqwalle4884 mark is a really good actor though, at least for his alter egos. He plays really well especially as crazy and fargone characters like Warfstache or old mark from in space, but he can also be good in a serious role. I just hope he takes his role in the movie in a controlled direction and not just "new mark alter ego"
And also the strapping in, euphoric response to each hit, continually wanting more, the eventual spiral of continual use, the party scenes in which it always occurred. It wasn’t very subtle, but it didn’t take away from the film at all. Liked the movie a lot
I am so glad they took an “Exorcist” approach with it. You build the suspense with the story, and then you pay off that suspense with drawn out lingering scenes of intense discomfort and horror that then builds on the story to set up the next set of scenes that will build suspense for the next intense scene. It’s always nice to see a horror movie take it’s time and be confident in it’s simplicity. If this were any other horror movie it’d be like “Suspense, jumpscare, loud and obnoxious chase sequence, okay, next scene where we’ll repeat the same nonsense” It’s so refreshing to see an actually good horror movie for a change.
Yes exactly! The Exorcist approach is such a good way of describing it because it feels extremely refreshing (but also in-line with A24's horror track-record) that the movie depends on character/narrative rather than purely shock/gore/jumpscares. Which might sound simple but it is really a problem with big studios who feel like audiences are too impatient for that and usually underestimate their intelligence. Like most genuinely affecting horror movies of the past, the horror in Talk To Me is created from atmosphere and rising tension, punctuated by good practical gore, but also us being super invested in the protagonists, and feeling sympathy for them, understanding their motives and actions. Idk this movie might not be for everyone, and I might be rambling, but I did genuinely leave the theatre a bit reeling and the movie lingering on me for a while. Wasn't expecting the movie to feel so thoroughly full of passion from the directors, so glad RackaRacka have such fantastic energy that passes from youtube videos to film.
@@GuineaPigEveryday for me I know it’s a good horror movie if I’m still thinking about it days or weeks later. But yeah, “uncomfy” horror is the best kind of horror for me, like I’m okay with supernatural stuff being present in a movie, just make it believable so I actually feel for what the characters are going through.
Talk To Me was so good I had no idea it was a youtuber movie! It makes sense that it felt so in touch with how teenagers actualy act and especially the use of social media and phones, since youtubers would be very familiar with that. Really great messaging about isolation and grief and how that can be exploited, in this case by the supernatural.

@@pattym9182 god damn why did you get so worked up over my question? I genuinely did want to hear a good thing about this movie that I could agree with but I think all the writing or the characters sucked except for the best friend and the main character was annoying as hell cause of all the dumb things she did and she never received a real punishment for it. I thought it was about addiction but now that you bring up the point of grief it actually makes a lot more sense to me. So you were right but you were also wrong: someone giving the movie correct praise can actually make me rethink my opinion on it
People also forget to appreciate A24. A24 giving smaller voices and talents a delivery to the big screen is incredibly generous and helpful. Personally I can't wait for Kane Pixels' work together with A24
I saw this movie last week and was genuinely impressed at a good horror movie that didn’t rely too much on jump scares to be scary. I’m even more impressed youtubers made it tbh
Talk to me was propably the best horror i saw in years, it made you actually look at this dangerous game as really fun because of how much fun everyone had during it. Acting was actually really good, and it was propably the first movie i saw that took the place in recent years where everyone got phones and record everything etc. without using some cringe words that were popular when they started making the movie and have been forgotten by the time of its release. The Montage scene during a party was amazing. If only more horrors had this quality.
Yeah, i went into this fresh aside from hearing it was good and something about a hand and i was so surprised by this take that it was used as a party drug basically. It was such an interesting direction to take it. Really engaging stuff. Will definitely keep an eye on these guys.
This makes me think that Alex Kister making a Mandela Catalogue movie could actually be really good given the time and resources. Dude has been doing very well on the series.
This is really exciting, it feels like we might finally enter an era of good CZcams movies, especially with Markiplier's upcoming Iron Lung film and Kane Pixel's upcoming Backrooms film (also working with A24!) in the works. Super excited!
Charles perfectly describes how horror movies are supposed to be directed. Thriller and horror flicks are very closely-related because they do the same thing - build tension. The difference is in how the genres deliver that tension.
I saw this yesterday after seeing a snippet of this video and decided to go in blind. While Charlie has points of critique to this movie, I cannot praise it enough. Mainly cause it’s a directorial debut in a pretty saturated genre. Which doesn’t mean in any way I don’t appreciate Charlie’s view on the movie. On many points he was bang on. Without spoiling the plot, my take on this movie was that it referenced a lot of themes from our society today. Substance abuse, addiction, being socially exiled, depression, broken families, … all the while being presented as a well put together horror movie that doesn’t rely on cheap jump scares, but basically had me on the edge of my seat, spine tingling, start to finish. While the cast was extremely good, extra praise has to be given to the lead girl and the young bro. I did not know their names or if they have any previous well received roles, but they knocked the ball into the stratosphere. Also, THIS is how you present a diverse cast in a movie, without making us wanting to gauge our eyes out.
Congrats to Danny and Michael. They deserve all the success that's coming out of this project. The fact that they applied all the skills they learned in video production to make one of the best movies of the year goes to show they are talented filmmakers.
Shoutout to the kid that played Riley aswell, he was really likeable and made the rest of the story play out really well. You care a lot more about gore when it’s used effectively on a character you are attached to.
thank god i'm not the only one with the same vision to approach horror films. movies and directors like this are what inspire me. good job and mad respect to both Danny and Michael!
RackaRackas’ videos always had this hypnotizing chaotic momentum, all of these years later I still return to the street fighter video they did because it’s just great physical comedy and I love their use of wires, I’m really glad to see that they were able to successfully translate their talent to another medium.
I found one plot point of the Fred movie funny: when he goes around telling people he's having a party and they *aren't* invited. That was pretty funny.
Can’t wait to see it. It’s so rare to find a good horror movie. Super excited to see what Markipliers will look like as well. Edit: saw the movie, it was really good.
@@George-pl7eu It is called Iron Lung, and is made in collaboration with the developer of a game with the same name. I would suggest looking it up, the concept has potential and I am excited to see how it manifests.
Saw it last night and I was just so happy. It's a genuinely good and unique horror movie. The decent into madness the main character goes through and the sudden escalation of violence/ consequences is just **chef's kiss**.
The times when Riley kept trying to kill himself was honestly one of the scariest things I've seen in theaters and I was surprised at how good they did with those scenes and keeping them in context of the movie while also beeing hella scary
@@voltron77 I dont think that was the intention it was to disturb you during those scenes his sister was in the room your wondering will the mom think the daughters doing it is he gonna die wtf is going on
@@simplygravity5991 Meh I watched and I wasn’t scared or traumatized at all the movie kinda sucks. The story is weird, the pacing sucks and it’s hard to understand what really happened.
wait, this was a youtuber movie? damn, i saw it at the theater last night and it was awesome. i’m not surprised that the creators are known for gore & action though cos there was _plenty_ of that in this film 😅 edit: also i totally cried lol and yeah the toe-sucking thing was fucking hilarious. i kinda interpreted it as an intentionally scary _and_ goofy scene - like, it would be terrifying in real life, but it’s still kinda funny to watch in fiction (esp when we see what’s really going on - iykyk) cos, y’know, it’s toe-sucking. it’s never not funny
I love horror movies, good and bad I usually go see anything spooky related twice or more but Talk to Me actually got me and I think it’s going to be a one and done for me. It wasn’t making me scream the whole time but it hurt me deep down out of sympathy and existentially.
watched it here during premiere night, it did not disappoint it respected the audience so much, they left us enough breadcrumbs to make us think how things got to where they are, i wish i could erase my memory of seeing it the first time so i could experience this film again :3
There’s still so much movie ideas. Skinwalkers, slender man, getting in someone’s dreams and facing nightmares, urban legend movies, I hope these small creators can make these movies possible
Honestly one of the most surprising directorial debuts I've ever seen, especially for a horror movie. Being disappointed with a majority of horror releases lately, this is one such a breath air. The ending was phenomenal too. This might be in my top 3 movies of this year, I can't wait to see what they do next.
The movie, in my opinion, is amazing. I got stressed out watching it and the way the movie builds tension and suspence without ever realy letting it drop to give you a break is amazing
I just watched this movie. What I love the most about it is that they touched on 'the devil made me do it' trope without actually saying it, unlike a certain movie. I realized what happened almost by the end of the movie, and I like it.
RackaRacka has always made peak videos with great cinematography and effects, so I was ecstatic when I heard that they made a movie. Hopefully, this is a start of great success for RackaRacka❤
Genuinely so proud of RackaRacka. I really went from watching them since I was 14 from their Marvel vs DC vid and Ronald McDonald skits to now about to watch their first full-length horror picture. Michael and Danny deserve the best
I started following their film after seeing the first trailer and the video of their Sundance premiere. I’m happy that they were able to make the film they wanted without studio execs breathing on their shoulders. Danny, Michael, Sophia, and the entire cast did fantastic things with this story. A24’s horror lineup may not have been as good compared to a couple years back, but they acquired (not produced) another banger for their filmography. 😌
I'm a horror fan. I've seen the trailer a couple times and each time I thought "that actually doesn't look terrible" almost every other horror movie/trailer looks awful and it has been that way for many years. Can't wait to check this one out.
Been a fan of RackaRacka since 2016. Talk to Me is a surprisingly well-made horror film about a evil severed hand and I absolutely cannot wait for the sequel Talk 2 Me. Give these guys a Best Director Oscar. Right now.
They have this rock and roll energy and childlike expression of their art that’s non stop and reached public success they are also very professional as well
Saw it last Sunday, the movie was awesome with alot of great performances. Very proud of these guys and I fully push people to watch it. They made it on a 4.5 million dollar budget and it's already made close to 30 million in the box office.
I think the toe sucking scene shows how ghost are not always about hurting or scaring people. I imagine that spirit had some fetishes when they were alive so it makes sense they would still have them…
that's crazy, I met these guys years ago in Australia when nobody knew who they were, I remember seeing their Ronald clown video being made at our local plaza and on our news before people knew it was a stunt - my brother and I are even in the background confused asf lol, they were amazing actors and your regular aussies making the best of it; crazy how far they've come.
I hope every single person listed in the credits for this movie watches this video. Especially the lead, imagine how good it would feel to be that girl listening to what Charlie has to say
To be fair, a small channel called "ponysmasher" started posting short horror vids, ended up making Annabelle and Shazam 1 & 2. He still posts vids on youtube, behind the scenes, short movies, and what's it like to direct major movies after only posting on youtube.
I feel like a lot of recent movies can’t stick the landing. This one did, and since I saw it I’ve been thinking about it and the lore. It has a great setup and doesn’t explain the magic.
Don't forget a group of innovative filmmakers from CZcams that did neat shorts years ago. They renamed rhemselves "Radio Silence." Then got big, made some great indie horror (V/H/S, Southbound, ect.) & now do huge films such as the last two Scream movies. Another talented exception that got their start on YT.
It’s interesting to see how far they’ve come from making crazy videos at the time to know able to make a Hollywood movie that’s getting great reception and is getting a squeal
You'd be surprised to know that there is a ton of fan-made/original movies that people made on budgets and uploaded to CZcams, that are actually really good!
He’s so humble, never even mentioned the most popular and well made CZcams movie, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 staring himself as District 8 Hospital Helper.
the toe scene i feel was ment to be silly for us the viewer but if you actually place yourself in the event it would be a totally fucked scenario. the supporting cast even questioned it when the ex bf brought it up to the group, they kinda all just laughed and said "dude thats cooked wtf" or something to that effect
I watched it last night, it was honestly amazing. The scares and gore were honestly nerve wrecking, and the acting omg sooo good. As an Australian so so proud, we very rarely make good movies. Best one since Wolf Creek 1
I think that toe scene did exactly what it was meant to do. I feel like so often we see ghosts in movies always trying to kill people or have some evilness. Or the flip side, they’re perfectly good, saving ghosts. It just shows that spirits are still the people they were in the life before. That spirit was a weird cross dresser who liked to suck toes from what it seems
Yeah and to be honest the way he sat in the corner for a bit and then started moving really creeped me the fuck out to be honest. Maybe it was the fact that i was watching this alone by myself, but i definitely did not laugh during that scène.
This makes me very happy. I expected nothing given how rackaracka is literally known for real stunts in fight scenes and nothing else, implying to me that a horror movie may just be gore. I also thought that this release date alongside Barbie and Oppenheimer may obliterate this movie but thinking more, neither of those movies really capture the horror audience and given so many people are watching those in theatres, they'd see the advertising of talk to me and potentially come back the next week or whatever.
with Iron Lung also on the horizon, Hollywood's gonna start feeling that litlle thorn in their side quite a bit more (assuming and hoping Mark and his team do as good a job as RackaRacka ^^)
i highly doubt hollywood will care but i do hope they will notice that people with lower budgets are outstepping them and take corrective action (that is a hope, not reality) but i think the ones going to be more pissed will be netflix. they waste so much money on shit shows and shit movies that a bunch of youtubers making movies with not only less money but with less resources in general and making bank as a result will likely push them to trying to get youtube to punish them for making them look bad. that or netflix will actually attempt to give a damn about their reputation but honestly what do we think is more likely to happen? if anything, this will probably cause big executives to push back and restrict who can make movies by paying our oh so lovely congress into passing a law forcing all film makers to work exclusively with registered or licensed producers and studios only in an attempt to end all indie films who could embarrass them. and if the film is shot outside of the U.S they will fight to restrict those films in an effort to save face. its crazy yes but hollywood and netflix have proven countless times that they will go way beyond regular means to get what they want.
Going from killer Ronald McDonald videos to this was an unexpected delight. An especially impressive career breakthrough, considering they not only made a good movie, but a competent HORROR movie and that's a genre tailor-made for stinkers.
This was the best horror movie I've seen since Hereditary! Big horror fan and I was so glad this one pulled thru. Glad others have received it well also

It’s rackaracka so I never expected less
The fact that RackaRacka made a film that was distributed by A24, the same distribution company as Hereditary and Midsommar, it's unbelievable
3 bots that’s impressive ☠️
Just like Peter Jackson.
ayy c;
People also forget to appreciate A24. A24 giving smaller voices and talents a delivery to the big screen is incredibly generous and helpful.
Personally I can't wait for Kane Pixels' work together with A24
Isn't A24 the studio that's taking like 8 years to release Hazbin Hotel?

I saw this movie last week and was genuinely impressed at a good horror movie that didn’t rely too much on jump scares to be scary. I’m even more impressed youtubers made it tbh
Talk to me was propably the best horror i saw in years, it made you actually look at this dangerous game as really fun because of how much fun everyone had during it. Acting was actually really good, and it was propably the first movie i saw that took the place in recent years where everyone got phones and record everything etc. without using some cringe words that were popular when they started making the movie and have been forgotten by the time of its release. The Montage scene during a party was amazing. If only more horrors had this quality.
Yeah, i went into this fresh aside from hearing it was good and something about a hand and i was so surprised by this take that it was used as a party drug basically. It was such an interesting direction to take it.
Really engaging stuff. Will definitely keep an eye on these guys.
Went into it blind and it was a perfect combination of goofiness, drama, and horror. Had no idea it was directed by CZcamsrs! Amazing work

Charles perfectly describes how horror movies are supposed to be directed. Thriller and horror flicks are very closely-related because they do the same thing - build tension. The difference is in how the genres deliver that tension.
I saw this yesterday after seeing a snippet of this video and decided to go in blind. While Charlie has points of critique to this movie, I cannot praise it enough. Mainly cause it’s a directorial debut in a pretty saturated genre. Which doesn’t mean in any way I don’t appreciate Charlie’s view on the movie. On many points he was bang on. Without spoiling the plot, my take on this movie was that it referenced a lot of themes from our society today. Substance abuse, addiction, being socially exiled, depression, broken families, … all the while being presented as a well put together horror movie that doesn’t rely on cheap jump scares, but basically had me on the edge of my seat, spine tingling, start to finish. While the cast was extremely good, extra praise has to be given to the lead girl and the young bro. I did not know their names or if they have any previous well received roles, but they knocked the ball into the stratosphere. Also, THIS is how you present a diverse cast in a movie, without making us wanting to gauge our eyes out.
Congrats to Danny and Michael. They deserve all the success that's coming out of this project. The fact that they applied all the skills they learned in video production to make one of the best movies of the year goes to show they are talented filmmakers.

Shoutout to the kid that played Riley aswell, he was really likeable and made the rest of the story play out really well. You care a lot more about gore when it’s used effectively on a character you are attached to.
so true
Definitely! So many horror movie characters are unlikable that it was refreshing to actually care about what happens to them for a change 😅

Lights Out was pretty eerie.
RackaRackas’ videos always had this hypnotizing chaotic momentum, all of these years later I still return to the street fighter video they did because it’s just great physical comedy and I love their use of wires, I’m really glad to see that they were able to successfully translate their talent to another medium.
I found one plot point of the Fred movie funny: when he goes around telling people he's having a party and they *aren't* invited. That was pretty funny.
Also the fact John Cena is canonically his dad
the Loser song is so good ngl
Can’t wait to see it. It’s so rare to find a good horror movie. Super excited to see what Markipliers will look like as well.
Edit: saw the movie, it was really good.
What's it gonna be called weekend at Freddy's
Well, it's not good, and definitely not scary.
@@George-pl7eu It is called Iron Lung, and is made in collaboration with the developer of a game with the same name. I would suggest looking it up, the concept has potential and I am excited to see how it manifests.

Went to see it as soon as I could. Best horror I've seen in years and I'm super happy for Danny and Michael as a sequel is confirmed.
Saw it last night and I was just so happy. It's a genuinely good and unique horror movie. The decent into madness the main character goes through and the sudden escalation of violence/ consequences is just **chef's kiss**.
The times when Riley kept trying to kill himself was honestly one of the scariest things I've seen in theaters and I was surprised at how good they did with those scenes and keeping them in context of the movie while also beeing hella scary
That boy did not have a good time
Yeah those scenes were done so well
Hell nah it wasn’t even scary!

wait, this was a youtuber movie? damn, i saw it at the theater last night and it was awesome. i’m not surprised that the creators are known for gore & action though cos there was _plenty_ of that in this film 😅
edit: also i totally cried lol
and yeah the toe-sucking thing was fucking hilarious. i kinda interpreted it as an intentionally scary _and_ goofy scene - like, it would be terrifying in real life, but it’s still kinda funny to watch in fiction (esp when we see what’s really going on - iykyk) cos, y’know, it’s toe-sucking. it’s never not funny
i found myself laughing at most of the exorcism scenes, some of the demons were hilarious.
This movie had me uncomfortable the whole way through. Hats off to these blokes. Scariest movie I’ve seen since hereditary
ok

I made that exact same comment to my boyfriend! Best horror of the last five years except Hereditary.

Watched it in theaters when it first came out & was put into anxiety / panic mode the entire film. Very well done.
I love horror movies, good and bad I usually go see anything spooky related twice or more but Talk to Me actually got me and I think it’s going to be a one and done for me. It wasn’t making me scream the whole time but it hurt me deep down out of sympathy and existentially.
If any CZcamsr could achieve this, it'd be them. It's good to hear there's finally something new worth watching for horror fans.
No way the guys behind the banned mcdonalds ads made the greatest youtuber movie of all time. We're truly living in a simulation.
Definitely wasn’t expecting Charlie to like this one. All the ads I’ve seen make it look awful
watched it here during premiere night, it did not disappoint
it respected the audience so much,
they left us enough breadcrumbs to make us think how things got to where they are,
i wish i could erase my memory of seeing it the first time so i could experience this film again :3
Racka has already proven that they are great at creating dark, horrific and crazy entertaining stories in all their normal videos lol.
There’s still so much movie ideas. Skinwalkers, slender man, getting in someone’s dreams and facing nightmares, urban legend movies, I hope these small creators can make these movies possible
Honestly one of the most surprising directorial debuts I've ever seen, especially for a horror movie.
Being disappointed with a majority of horror releases lately, this is one such a breath air. The ending was phenomenal too. This might be in my top 3 movies of this year, I can't wait to see what they do next.
IM so glad he mentioned this movie, it’s actually incredible and it deserves more hype !!!
Absolutely agree with this whole take!! 10/10 movie. Acting, special effects, creep factor not relying on jump scares, and amazing story all around.
How could you forget to mention such cinematic masterpieces such as "Smosh: The Movie" or "Ghostmates"???
He was talking about the bad ones. There are a few good ones, but that wasn’t the point.
The movie, in my opinion, is amazing. I got stressed out watching it and the way the movie builds tension and suspence without ever realy letting it drop to give you a break is amazing
The sound design in this movie was crazy good too, I'm really glad I got to see it in a theater
I just watched this movie. What I love the most about it is that they touched on 'the devil made me do it' trope without actually saying it, unlike a certain movie. I realized what happened almost by the end of the movie, and I like it.
RackaRacka has always made peak videos with great cinematography and effects, so I was ecstatic when I heard that they made a movie. Hopefully, this is a start of great success for RackaRacka❤
Genuinely so proud of RackaRacka. I really went from watching them since I was 14 from their Marvel vs DC vid and Ronald McDonald skits to now about to watch their first full-length horror picture. Michael and Danny deserve the best
the allegory for drug use was really well done, this hit me too as im currently recovering from my overuse of marijuana
I started following their film after seeing the first trailer and the video of their Sundance premiere. I’m happy that they were able to make the film they wanted without studio execs breathing on their shoulders. Danny, Michael, Sophia, and the entire cast did fantastic things with this story. A24’s horror lineup may not have been as good compared to a couple years back, but they acquired (not produced) another banger for their filmography. 😌
I'm a horror fan. I've seen the trailer a couple times and each time I thought "that actually doesn't look terrible" almost every other horror movie/trailer looks awful and it has been that way for many years. Can't wait to check this one out.
I mean I don't doubt that Markipliers horror movie Iron Lung will be great so I think CZcamsr movies are on their way up.
Dat profile pic and name hmmm familiar... lol

I saw this movie at its premier at sundance film festival, so cool to see it getting recognition at its full release.
Been a fan of RackaRacka since 2016. Talk to Me is a surprisingly well-made horror film about a evil severed hand and I absolutely cannot wait for the sequel Talk 2 Me. Give these guys a Best Director Oscar. Right now.
ok
:)
Is that a real name for the sequel? Because that's good. Except it kinda reminds me of the fast and furious movie titles
Talk to Me was so great. Loved everything about it, and the ending was top-tier. Cannot wait for the sequel.
there will never be a sequel.

As an Australian it makes me so happy i can look up to these guys. I absolutely love Racka Racka i'm so happy for them
Had no idea this movie was created by youtubers and im surprised this is the movie Charlie actually likes
Theres alot of good short horror productions out there on you tube atm . Great to see .
They have this rock and roll energy and childlike expression of their art that’s non stop and reached public success they are also very professional as well
Saw it last Sunday, the movie was awesome with alot of great performances. Very proud of these guys and I fully push people to watch it. They made it on a 4.5 million dollar budget and it's already made close to 30 million in the box office.
Look how excited Charlie is for this! We got to his loud monotone voice in like 10 seconds!😂
f
I recommend the movie called His House. It's a very tragic movie that attacks the traumas and guilt of losing someone. strongly recommend it.
I think the toe sucking scene shows how ghost are not always about hurting or scaring people. I imagine that spirit had some fetishes when they were alive so it makes sense they would still have them…
You’re right. The woman was the ghost that possessed Daniel when he starting making out with the dog. It was definitely a weird spirit
that's crazy, I met these guys years ago in Australia when nobody knew who they were, I remember seeing their Ronald clown video being made at our local plaza and on our news before people knew it was a stunt - my brother and I are even in the background confused asf lol, they were amazing actors and your regular aussies making the best of it; crazy how far they've come.
I remember watching these guys as a kid, so cool to see how far they’ve come!
I hope every single person listed in the credits for this movie watches this video. Especially the lead, imagine how good it would feel to be that girl listening to what Charlie has to say
To be fair, a small channel called "ponysmasher" started posting short horror vids, ended up making Annabelle and Shazam 1 & 2.
He still posts vids on youtube, behind the scenes, short movies, and what's it like to direct major movies after only posting on youtube.
Also tbh he’s never made anything as good as Talk to Me
Fred the movie is an ahead of its time Dadaist masterpiece
Also no way Charlie has seen only 6 good horror movies

I feel like a lot of recent movies can’t stick the landing. This one did, and since I saw it I’ve been thinking about it and the lore. It has a great setup and doesn’t explain the magic.
Don't forget a group of innovative filmmakers from CZcams that did neat shorts years ago. They renamed rhemselves "Radio Silence." Then got big, made some great indie horror (V/H/S, Southbound, ect.) & now do huge films such as the last two Scream movies. Another talented exception that got their start on YT.
Can't wait to see their Street Fighter movie!! the action will go so hard, and knowing they can do story and dialogue well I have so much faith
have you seen their video Street Fighter in Real Life!
I remember watching the trailer in theatres, thought it was super interesting. And it definitely shocked me knowing that it was made by CZcamsrs
Ima be real, when Charlie likes a movie/tv series I always check it out, and so far everything has being true quality stories and I am here for that
Thank you for acknowleding one of the finest trilogies in cinema hisotry
It’s interesting to see how far they’ve come from making crazy videos at the time to know able to make a Hollywood movie that’s getting great reception and is getting a squeal

@@brandonwright9450 yes a24 themselves confirmed it
You'd be surprised to know that there is a ton of fan-made/original movies that people made on budgets and uploaded to CZcams, that are actually really good!

@tallesrodrigues5994 an example if you wish;
Evan Royalty makes IRL SCP movies
He’s so humble, never even mentioned the most popular and well made CZcams movie, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 staring himself as District 8 Hospital Helper.
The whole theater erupted in laughter during the toe scene as well. This film genuinely surprised me from start to finish.
the toe scene i feel was ment to be silly for us the viewer but if you actually place yourself in the event it would be a totally fucked scenario. the supporting cast even questioned it when the ex bf brought it up to the group, they kinda all just laughed and said "dude thats cooked wtf" or something to that effect
I watched it last night, it was honestly amazing.
The scares and gore were honestly nerve wrecking, and the acting omg sooo good.

I think that toe scene did exactly what it was meant to do. I feel like so often we see ghosts in movies always trying to kill people or have some evilness. Or the flip side, they’re perfectly good, saving ghosts. It just shows that spirits are still the people they were in the life before. That spirit was a weird cross dresser who liked to suck toes from what it seems
Yeah and to be honest the way he sat in the corner for a bit and then started moving really creeped me the fuck out to be honest. Maybe it was the fact that i was watching this alone by myself, but i definitely did not laugh during that scène.
This makes me very happy. I expected nothing given how rackaracka is literally known for real stunts in fight scenes and nothing else, implying to me that a horror movie may just be gore.
I also thought that this release date alongside Barbie and Oppenheimer may obliterate this movie but thinking more, neither of those movies really capture the horror audience and given so many people are watching those in theatres, they'd see the advertising of talk to me and potentially come back the next week or whatever.
with Iron Lung also on the horizon, Hollywood's gonna start feeling that litlle thorn in their side quite a bit more (assuming and hoping Mark and his team do as good a job as RackaRacka ^^)
i highly doubt hollywood will care but i do hope they will notice that people with lower budgets are outstepping them and take corrective action (that is a hope, not reality) but i think the ones going to be more pissed will be netflix. they waste so much money on shit shows and shit movies that a bunch of youtubers making movies with not only less money but with less resources in general and making bank as a result will likely push them to trying to get youtube to punish them for making them look bad. that or netflix will actually attempt to give a damn about their reputation but honestly what do we think is more likely to happen?
if anything, this will probably cause big executives to push back and restrict who can make movies by paying our oh so lovely congress into passing a law forcing all film makers to work exclusively with registered or licensed producers and studios only in an attempt to end all indie films who could embarrass them. and if the film is shot outside of the U.S they will fight to restrict those films in an effort to save face. its crazy yes but hollywood and netflix have proven countless times that they will go way beyond regular means to get what they want.
This has to be one of the few channels that does the kind of content which CZcams was made for: blogs about any tiopic that interests you.
saw this movie a few months ago in cinemas. absolutely fantastic production.
Going from killer Ronald McDonald videos to this was an unexpected delight. An especially impressive career breakthrough, considering they not only made a good movie, but a competent HORROR movie and that's a genre tailor-made for stinkers.
This was the best horror movie I've seen since Hereditary! Big horror fan and I was so glad this one pulled thru. Glad others have received it well also
It's not even close to Hereditary level of scares. Calm the fuck down.
