The Black Phone
IN The Black Phone, a 13-year-old boy Finney (Mason Thames) 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. The film also stars Ethan Hawke, Madeleine McGraw, Jeremy Davies, James Ransone, and E. Roger Mitchell. Fox 10 Phoenix’s Robert Daniels says that “This is a movie meant for kids to encounter, enjoy, and hail as a cult classic in 20 years.” The Black Phone (2022) received a score of 83% from the review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes.
