The Black Phone
Finney Blake, a shy but clever 13-year-old boy, is abducted by a sadistic killer and trapped in a soundproof basement where screaming is of little use. When a disconnected phone on the wall begins to ring, Finney discovers that he can hear the voices of the killer’s previous victims. And they are dead set on making sure that what happened to them doesn’t happen to Finney.

Amazing idea, but expected more
The movie was definitely amazing. Interesting plot for who likes the genre. Excellent, top choice of the actors for sure, and praise the director for that. But they could'v done so much more, I mean all those beautiful and good actors acting some mini parts in the show, while Finney is always down in the basement. They could'v showed so much more like how they got kidnapped and more about their lives like u can't add characters like that and say so little about them. It looked like rushed the movie as they tried to put everything in with so little scenes and like those little phrases also being repeated, seemed like LAzy. People could definitely like the characters but they want to know and see more about them, and so this little scenes is disappointing. They could'v done so much more. The plot is wasted when the movie is so disappointing and kind of dull sometimes. With all they could'v done and they didn't... - helaumur - 7 May 2024
I really liked it
I really liked this film. Some parts I found disturbing as it echoed my own child hood when he was beating his daughter. The kid actors are really good and you really believe in them. I think there could have been a few murder scenes as you don't actually see any violence only the after math. It may have been good to be told both the brother and sister have psychic powers as I didn't get who and how they were calling. Ethan hawke was really scary in it. I love the kid that beat up the bully I got that he was the hero in this and would love to have seen more of him. The little girl actor was really good too.
