How To Watch Horror Hit Talk To Me At Home
Death, taxes, and low-budget horror movies becoming breakout smash hits upon release — more and more, these seem to be the only certainties in life and, needless to say, we're excited about one of them more than the others. Everything about the success of "Talk to Me" defies convention, from the unusual career trajectory of sibling directing duo Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou to the fact that a sequel has already been put into development – a rarity for indie studio A24. But the long odds haven't stopped the film from flying high and scaring the heck out of audiences around the world, and after its incredibly profitable theatrical run, horror fans are about to have the chance to catch "Talk to Me" without even having to step outside the door.
And honestly, while we here at /Film are unabashed champions of the big-screen experience, watching this particular movie at home somehow feels like the most disturbingly ideal experience. The premise of "Talk to Me" unfolds like many a genre film, with its reckless young characters gathered at a house party and dabbling with supernatural forces beyond their comprehension. In a potent and terrifying story that finds parallels between possession by spirits, grief, and the euphoria of chasing a drug-like high, we have the feeling that a lot of the film's scares will hit even harder in one's living room in the dead of night. Just a guess!
In any case, fans will now have their turn to experience this haunting tale all over again as "Talk to Me" comes to DVD, Blu-ray, and digital on demand on October 3, 3023. Read on for all the details!
Talk to Me bonus features
Look, far be it from me to tell you how to live your life, kindly Internet stranger, but maybe think twice about using that embalmed severed hand as a conduit to allow spirits of the dead to possess you and wreak havoc on all your loved ones, eh? The characters in "Talk to Me" have to learn this lesson the hard way, but you can't say nobody warned you! Or feel free to live vicariously through the talented cast of the film as their characters undergo unspeakable horrors best left unmentioned. I'm not your mom.
After releasing to great acclaim earlier this year (you can check out /Film's original review right out of Sundance by Chris Evangelista here), "Talk to Me" is finally set to provide heart attacks for viewers at home. The movie will be made available to purchase on 4K, Blu-ray, DVD, and digital on October 3, 2023. In a boon for physical media collectors, the movie will also come with a modest assortment of special features. These include audio commentary by co-writer/director Danny Philippou and director Michael Philippou, a featurette appropriately titled "In the Grip of Terror," and an unknown number of deleted scenes ... because, you know, the movie apparently wasn't scary enough already. And for those who purchase the film through Amazon, there will also be an added exclusive of a Q&A between the sibling directors, as well.
For those who may still be on the fence about this film, something tells us the recently-released red band trailer provided below will give you a fairly good idea of what to expect.
