Talk to Me's original script didn't actually feature a hand, says co-writer

Sophie Wilde as Mia in Talk to Me

Talk to Me, A24's new horror hit, revolves around a hand. A real creepy-looking embalmed hand, cut off at the wrist, with scribbles all over it, which allows its owners to bridge the gap between the living and the dead. According to co-writer Danny Philippou, though, the film's original script didn't feature any such hand at all.

Directed by Philippou and his twin brother Michael Philippou, the Aussie chiller centers on Mia (Sophie Wilde), a young woman who's still struggling to come to terms with the sudden death of her mother two years earlier. In an attempt to distract herself from her grief, she drags her best pal Jade (Alexandra Jensen) to a party, where fellow students, Joss and Hayley, are hosting another of their renowned séances.
