I have watched The Black Phone. Actors: E. Roger Mitchell, Ethan Hawke, Gina Jun, J. Gaven Wilde, James Ransone, Jeremy Davies, Kellan Rhude, Madeleine McGraw, Mason Thames, Michael Banks Repeta. A horror film from Blumhouse. Set in 1978. There is a small town. Finney is our protagonist. Good at baseball. Seems to get bullied. The actor looks like Shia Labeouf. His father is abusive. His sister Gwen is a psychic of sorts. Has these visions in her dreams. Love the dialogue. Looks a little like Ariana Grande. She does wear a yellow raincoat and it's a nod to IT. Robin is a tough kid. He isn't scared of the bullies. There is a scene where they talk in the toilets. Finney has used the urinal and grabs a paper towel then washes his hands. Wipes his hands and throws the towel into the toilet bowl. So many wrongs. Anyhow there is the villain called The Grabber. He has been abducting and murdering children. Not sure what his motivation was. The actors that played these characters were superb. Especially Madeleine and Ethan. Good special effects. As Finney gets kidnapped. A bare mattress that he has to lay on. He has drunk from the toilet cistern and picked up the biscuits off the floor. I am an obsessive compulsive. There is a black phone attached to the wall. The dead victims call him on it. There is a really good scene but I won't spoil it. Clever film. One of the actors is handsome. When I saw the trailer I wasn't too sure. On Google Movies they are charging alot. I went to 123Movies. This film company never disappoints. They have used actors from previous films. I will look at the trivia, discussion and reactions. I recommend that you see it. You might also like Room, 10 Cloverfield Lane, The Tall Man, Devil's Knot, Misery, The Lovely Bones, The Loved Ones, The Strangers, I Spit On Your Grave, Hostel, Saw, The Collector. Based on the short story by Joe Hill who is the son of Stephen King.
