The Black Phone
Finney Blake, 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.
Horror is central to the film's identity: fear, danger, and the supernatural-tinged communication with past victims drive the viewer experience. Though there are dramatic/mystery components, the core experience is horror-centric.
Best for viewers looking for a scary, atmosphere-heavy, psychological and low-gore horror movie.
