    The finesse with which Thames and McGraw seamlessly balance a wide range of emotions is a feat.

  5. 'The Black Phone' Review: Ethan Hawke as a Serial Killer

  6. 'The Black Phone' Review: The Dead Have Your Number

    More touching than terrifying, Scott Derrickson's "Black Phone" is less a horror movie than a coming-of-age ghost story. In place of gouting gore and surging fright, this enjoyable ...

  14. Review: Is 'The Black Phone' the Laziest Serial-Killer Thriller Ever?

    On the page, The Black Phone is ruthlessly efficient — a lean, mean, 30-page survival yarn, King-ish mostly in its punchy prose. But in expanding this short story into a feature-length movie ...

  15. Review: Thriller 'The Black Phone' is captivating, really

    The movie has a "Stranger Things"-meets-"Room" vibe and even namechecks a film deep in its debt: "Texas Chain Saw Massacre." The film's tagline is "Don't Talk to Strangers" and it's painfully wrong. While applicable to The Grabber, Finn learns that the voices on the other end of the black phone are his previous victims.

  17. The Black Phone Review: A Thrilling But Convoluted Serial Killer Story

    The Black Phone is a chilling horror-thriller with a downright creepy performance from Ethan Hawke that (outside a few unique pieces) tells a relatively familiar serial killer story. It's a well-constructed film at nearly every level, with great showings from its kid actors and adult stars alike, atmospheric cinematography, and satisfying jump scares; yet, it falls short in exploring its most ...

  18. The Black Phone

    Movie Review. The phone hangs on the wall, black and dead. Dead as the children who slept there, ate there, were beaten there. Were murdered there. Finney's not the first boy to find himself in this cracked, barren Denver basement in 1978. The man—The Grabber, people call him—prepared the place well. The bed is fastened to the floor.

    Black Phone, The (United States, 2022) June 24, 2022. A movie review by James Berardinelli.
