The trailer for upcoming thriller Talk to Me has sent shockwaves through the horror community, generating an immense buzz among fans.

Talk To Me stars Miranda Otto, Zoe Terraces and Sophie Wilde and is directed by Danny and Michael Phillppou in their feature film directorial debut. It is being distributed by A24.

Speaking to DAZED Michael said: “It’s a spin on how an old, ancient, haunted object would be used these days. It was: ‘Don’t walk into the woods.’ And now it’s: ‘Do it and film it.’”

Mark your calendars for the film’s release on July 28th.
