About The Black Phone
Finney, a shy but clever 13-year-old boy, is abducted by a sadistic killer (Ethan Hawke in a terrific and unexpected performance) 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. [103 mins; horror; English]
"Underpinned by emotional performances across the board and a commanding atmosphere, The Black Phone aces its foundational qualities and allows its nuances to take control." — Peyton Robinson, RogerEbert.com
"High-voltage jump scares abound, and several baroquely composed frames are genuine nightmare fodder." — Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly
"The Black Phone is at turns breathless, terrifying and crowd-pleasing, but always feels authentic to a time when the streets were prowled by real-life boogeymen, whose legends were bolstered by the children who whispered their names." — Adam Graham, Detroit News
