Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson calls new horror film "the best he's seen in years"

Peter Jackson/Sophie Wilde as Mia in Talk to Me

Peter Jackson is a big fan of Talk to Me. The Lord of the Rings director gushed about the new Aussie horror in a statement to Ahi Films (via Newshub) recently, describing Michael and Danny Philippou's feature-length debut as "relentlessly scary and disturbing – in the best possible way."

"Talk to Me isn't just good – it's very very good. The best, most intense, horror movie I've enjoyed in years," New Zealand-born filmmaker Jackson, who started out in comedy horror before diving into the world of orcs and elves, said. Jackson's not the only one raving about the movie, either; Steven Spielberg, Ari Aster, Jordan Peele and George Miller have all praised it over the last few weeks.
