A24 Unveils ‘Talk to Me’ Party Hand Prop Replica at $110
A24 made quite the splash earlier this year with the highly-praised horror flick, “Talk to Me.” Now, fans can catch the digital release of the film, with a 4K and Blu-ray version scheduled to hit the shelves on October 3, 2023.
In the movie, this mysterious prop is depicted as the embalmed, severed hand of a potent medium, wielded for summoning spirits. The essence of it involves gripping the hand and audibly uttering the words “talk to me,” an invitation to whatever eerie entities lurk beyond. Following this, you can release the hand or let the spirit inhabit you. Opting for the latter is akin to the film’s unique version of an intoxicating thrill, evolving into a viral party game of sorts.
The rendition of the “party hand” available for acquisition from A24’s online store is designed to function as a smoking device or incense burner, while also doubling as an impressive display piece.
According to A24, “Designed by our friends at Craighill, the life-sized ceramic Talk to Me Party Hand is the only smoking device (or incense burner!) that opens the door to the other side.”
This hand boasts a weight of 3 pounds and dimensions measuring 8.5″ in height, 8.5″ in length, and 4″ in depth.
“Talk to Me” unfolds a spine-chilling narrative as “a group of friends discover how to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand; they become hooked on the new thrill until one of them goes too far and unleashes terrifying supernatural forces.” The film stars Sophia Wilde, Miranda Otto, Alexandra Jensen, Joe Bird, Otis Djanji, and Zoe Terakes.
Meagan Navarro’s review for BD at Sundance raved, “Talk to Me delivers an intense, nightmarish horror movie that’ll leave you breathless.” She continued, “There’s a refreshing ruthlessness to this cautionary tale that plays like a surge of adrenaline; it makes for one hell of an introduction to Danny and Michael Philippou’s brand of horror.”
Exciting news for fans: A24 has already greenlit a sequel, aptly titled “Talk 2 Me.”
