Review of The Black Phone (2022) by Jim222001 — 06 Feb 2023
In a town where kids are abducted, a bullied teen Finney Shaw (Mason Thames) finds himself abducted as well. His best friend and younger sister Gwen has dreams that may lead her to his whereabouts.
While a unhooked black phone where Finney is being held. Helps him talk to the Grabber’s victims who tell Finney where they went wrong. As well as give him other advice on how to fight back.
I saw some things coming but the film was still gripping through-out. I thought the Grabber (Ethan Hawke) needed a little more backstory. Other than that, I really enjoyed this movie and it even got some tears out of me.
Ethan Hawke is creepy and sometimes funny, we sympathize for Mason Thames and want to see him get away. Jason Ransone (IT Chapter 2) is quite funny as a coke head on the case of the missing kids.
Madeleine McGraw as Finney’s younger sister Gwen gives the best performance in the movie though and is a show stealer. She’s believably tough and spunky.
