news culture “One of the scariest movies of all time” YouTube stars cause a stir with their horror film
Is it possible to make good cinema and be a star on the internet at the same time? For the videographers of the RackaRacka channel, the answer is yes. Her horror film caused quite a stir in the press.
Films by or with web stars, there are many of them today: Les Dissociés, Le Visiteur Du Futur, Le Manoir, Smosh Le Film etc. It must be admitted that success is not always a given in this case. But that could long since be history with the horror feature film “Talk To Me” (La Main en France) directed by Daniel and Michael Philippou from the station “RackaRacka”. The film tells us the story of Mia (Sophia Wilde) who goes to occult parties with friends. Anyone can be possessed by a ghost thanks to an embalmed hand (it’s not dangerous as long as you don’t hold the item for more than 3 minutes). Of course, this will degenerate into a portal between the world of the living and the dead. Mia and her friends must find a solution to shut down this portal, even if it means trusting people possessed by ghosts.
It’s the media colliders Who reports the information: Talk To Me aired at the Sundance Festival in the United States in January 2023. The least that can be said is that the reviews are unanimous – from both press and viewers. We’re talking about an original horror film that goes far beyond simple “possession”. A true no frills horror film, so much so that it’s been compared to the first ‘Evil Dead’ from 1981. “Talk To Me” was such a hit during the event that the A24 company decided to distribute it for a worldwide theatrical release. In total. Talk To Me will be in cinemas on July 26, 2023.
