We are recirculating it now thatTalk to Meis on streaming on Netflix.
Like Bongs films,Talk to Mecareens between volatile emotions.
Its part giddy, vicious teen-horror romp and part Ari Asterinfluenced trauma horror.
This mistake proves deadly.
Demons lie, after all, and manipulate people by pretending to be someone that the person cares about.
The ending ofTalk to Meis ambiguous and open to interpretation.
This is by design, although it answers many of its own questions if you look at it closely.
As Danny PhilippoutellsThe Hollywood Reporter: If you really look on screen carefully, all the clues are there.
She held on too long that time, too.
Does it want revenge for its own suffering?
Does it feast on pain and sorrow, likeEvil Deads Deadites?
Or maybe it just wants companionship in the cold, dark void.
Fully possessed, Mia feels her moms dead hands on her shoulders: Youre doing the right thing.
Show him the way.
I can protect him, she whispers.
Suddenly, Mia wakes up and realizes what shes about to do.
The impact happens mostly offscreen and is filmed from the backseat of a passing car.
So we dont actually see how Mia ends up on the highway a few moments later.
Did she throw herself into traffic?
Shes become unmoored from time.
Then all of the lights go off, and shes in a terrifyingly black void.
A hand reaches out.
This might go on forever or at least until the hands are destroyed.
I heard it was the hand of a Satanist, she says.
The other ones just out there.
Or is it the Satanists other hand that shes inhabiting?
That implies an international data pipe of haunted hand-smugglers.
Thats a debate, Danny tellsTHR.
True to the directors YouTube roots, it plays out entirely on social media.
