Along with its box office success, Talk to Me was a hit with the critics. We at Digital Spy gave it a four-star rating in our review, writing: "Talk to Me is meticulously crafted to scare the shit out of you, haunting you long after the credits have rolled. Fun for all the family this isn't."
Talk to Me centres on a group of friends who discover they can conjure spirits with an embalmed hand — until grieving teen Mia (Sophie Wilde) takes things too far.
Speaking recently about the film's ending, Danny said it was meant to be "open to interpretation".
"I really wanted it to be open to interpretation," he said. "There [are] so many parts to the ending, where we've just left nuggets and hints and things throughout.
"If you go and rewatch the film, and really analyse what's happening in every frame, there [are] things that are... there. I can't wait for someone to break it down and find every single piece and put the puzzle together. Everything has meaning."
Talk to Me is out now in cinemas.
