9) Talk to Me

Danny and Michael Philippou’s, 2023 film ‘Talk to Me’ follows a group of teens communicating with the after-life with a severed and embalmed hand artefact. Its use can be possessed and allow others to talk to a spirit for a short duration before the connection has to be broken. However, if the connection fails to be broken in time, the teens unearth terror.

And terror is what it invoked in audiences.
