The Black Phone (2022): Movie Review

Plot: Never talk to strangers.

Finney Shaw, 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.

Review: Finney and his sister Gwen are terrified of Grabber, the enigmatic man suspected of being behind a serial of kidnappings, as well as of their own father, who beats them if any sign of their mother’s psychic ability appears in them.

The identity of their abductor is unknown but Gwen has psychic abilities that reveal clues about the Grabber.

When her 13-year-old brother Finney falls prey to this masked monster, Gwen tells her unbelieving father that he is behind the boy’s abduction.

He is slow to listen but the local police, who are desperately in need of a good lead, listen to her and begin their search for the unfortunate teen.

Meanwhile, Finney, who is now imprisoned in a pitch-black cellar, starts to plan his escape. The Grabber is bigger and stronger than he is, thus his odds of survival are very poor.

Thankfully, assistance does arrive at some point, as a disconnected phone in the room’s corner unexpectedly begins to ring.

The callers are the ghosts of the Grabber’s previous victims, who give Finney advice on how to avoid the dreadful tragedy that might befall him.

Will he be saved or not? Go watch the movie
