The thing about adapting a short story for cinema is that we tend to get a great deal of padding to get it to the duration. This film is certainly guilty of that, with the first half hour spent on way too much character establishment that really has very little to do with the gist of ....

With supernatural dread lifted directly from the likes of _Stir of Echoes_ and _The Sixth Sense_, _The Black Phone_ features a breakthrough performance from Madeleine McGraw while Ethan Hawke’s hauntingly memorable turn as The Grabber is felt in a hair-raising sense; like someone who ....

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/the-black-phone-spoiler-free-review "The Black Phone carries a horror premise with a supernatural touch full of potential, but it plays too safe by betting on a narrative that's too simple, predictable, and repeti ....

The Black Phone is a paranormal abduction thriller that balances the tension/despair of being trapped and the ghost elements very well. The movie does a great job setting up the main characters in the beginning that gives you a relationship with them and genuine desire for them to su ....

Had some decently suspense-filled moments and Ethan Hawke was great but otherwise I found most of this pretty forgettable, yet still worth watching as a rental. **3.25/5**

**Not quite a full-on horror movie but a well-done creepy thriller.** I love a good Blumhouse flick (and honestly, I love the bad Blumhouse flicks too). Thankfully The Black Phone is the former. Even though it’s more thriller than horror, The Black Phone is an eerie story that kee ....

The Black Phone successfully adapts Joe Hill’s short story into a suspenseful film filled with eerie atmosphere and emotional depth. With strong direction, solid performances, and effective 1970s aesthetics, it delivers tension and mystery through a supernatural lens. While some back ....

Ethan Hawke in it and that should be the initial strike against it, but unfortunately it isn't the only one. The plot is basically, Ethan comes into the room with the kidnapped boy and gets owned by him. Then he comes in again, and gets owned again, then he comes in again, and ge ....
