Review of The Black Phone (2022) by Ryebutt — 25 Jun 2022
This Movie Is Honestly Great. It achieves what it set out to do. With an amazing performance from Ethan Hawke (The Grabber) and Mason Thames (Finney), It adds to the tension built up throughout the movie.
Of course, some cheap jump scares take away from the incredible acting but that doesn't detriment the rest of the movie. You really want Finney to escape. One thing that I think this movie really needed was more exploration of character.
Like as an example, The Grabber has a lot of things about him that should have been explored, such as why the grabber was so afraid to show his face. I think if there was more exploration into some characters like The Grabber it would have made the movie better than it already is.
Honestly, I recommend you watch The Black Phone just for the acting alone. Still, looking at it as a whole, it is still a great entertaining thriller.
