Since its release, many have commented on the film's final shot, with one critic calling it a 'killer ending that will leave you speechless'.

The movie cost just $4.5 million to produce, but managed to bank over $72.5 million worldwide, successful enough to already have a sequel greenlit; the cleverly titled Talk 2 Me.
Critics also loved the movie, granting it a score of 95% on Rotten Tomatoes:
Chicago Sun-Times - "Like that damn disembodied hand, Talk to Me will keep you in its grips throughout."
Paste - "Fierce, fun, and steeped in youthful energy, it’s a film that’s willing to go to some truly dark places in its exploration of grief, death and what it means when we reach too far into the beyond, but it’s also never afraid to laugh along the way."
Collider - "Whether you can stomach it enough to make it all the way will depend on the viewer, but Talk To Me has plenty that promises to capture the souls of horror sickos looking for a sinister spectacle."
Talk To Me is available to watch on Netflix now.
