The Black Phone
What if the dead could speak to save the living? In a quiet suburban neighborhood gripped by fear, a young boy named Finney Shaw finds himself trapped in a soundproof basement by a masked abductor known only as The Grabber. His only hope arrives through an unlikely source—a disconnected black phone hanging on the wall that begins to ring with voices from the killer’s previous victims. The Black Phone (2022) weaves together supernatural horror, psychological thriller, and coming-of-age survival into a chilling tapestry. Based on Joe Hill’s short story and directed by Scott Derrickson, this film explores themes of resilience, lost innocence, and the lingering presence of those who came before. Ethan Hawke delivers a terrifying performance as the enigmatic antagonist, while the young cast brings heart and authenticity to this haunting story. Viewers should prepare for a tense, atmospheric ride that masterfully balances dread with moments of genuine hope, making The Black Phone one of 2022’s most gripping and original horror experiences.
