Decent movie for a three minute runtime. Apparently there'll be an extended version in cinemas, too. Not sure what else they could add, though.

I weak😂😂😂

Thank God I never watched a single trailer for the movie at all!

@Nigel MT Productions exactly.

@J.Txx.7 you are missing out

the kid actors in this are incredibly - some of the best acting I've seen from child actors in a long time. Incredible movie. Drags a bit in the middle but the ending is great.

@Madison Gutierrez is that a good show??

@Madison Gutierrez is that a good show??

Stranger things have amazing kids actors

The ending just shows you the cops did nothing 😅.. all down to the kid and kids who died

Doesn't drag honestly wish it were longer

Ethan Hawke and the child actors really raised the film to a higher level, especially the sister knocked it out of the park. One point in the film I really didn't know whether she was getting beat up for real by her dad or whether it was acting, because that was some of the most realistic crying I have ever seen.

As someone who used to get belted and beaten as a kid by their father, they nailed it. I had to pause the movie because thats how real it seemed.

@RadicalNrK I know I have an anime pfp but you have a fortnite pfp bruh, can't say anything

@RadicalNrK using the word cringe with that profile picture

Couldn’t agree more with this comment. The sister was AMAZING and that scene where she was getting beat was some incredible acting

Same, I was super impressed with the girl, during that scene especially, I just wanted to give her a hug!

I have to confess; I thought this movie would be bloody, childish and full of fake screams. I loved it.

@Freezing Cold yup 100% agree 5/10 for me

I was hoping for something better. apart from not being scary at all, which can be tolerated, totally predictable story, lack of plot twists and fast tempo. couldn't give it more than 6/10.

The girl's acting is a masterpiece. She deserves an Oscar!

@Mr. Rop uh..

Haha the belt part😂

tama dasurv

I watched her in one of the Disney tv series Sulphur Spring. She was a kind of comedian there so this movie didn't bring the scary vibe to me. Yah! She was amazing.

This trailer showed basically the whole film. Bravo!

Then i shouldnt pqy $20 to watch it?

Nah it really didn’t. I saw it today. The movie was fucking amazing and I’m a horror movie junkie. I was in there jumping like a damn kangaroo 😂😂😂

not even close

God this mentality is just the worst, and makes such little sense

Watched this in theaters the first day it came out, and when I tell you this is the best horror movie i’ve seen. I was lost for words afterward. It got my anxiety going off the charts and it even had some funny scenes. Outstanding and i’m going to watch it for the third time in theaters tomorrow !

Not 3rd time 🤣😂😂😭

It was decent. I wouldn't call it a horror film

Nah it lacked a lot of character build. Very slow and predictable

I swear this movie hella trippy

I really love watching horror and when I watched this trailer, I only stopped it halfway because I felt it would give too much away. Just saw this last night and it was absolutely incredible. The acting was on point, the jump scares were never expected, and overall the plot was just amazing. 10/10 would recommend.

Man, this was such a good movie. A bit of a genre bender in that it's far from a simple "horror" movie and has elements of thriller and even coming-of-age warm and fuzzy stuff. Highly recommend. It'll definitely go down as a classic.

Best movie I’ve seen in years. Might make my top 10 all time

Agree!

Yeha it was amazing

@JackRyan nah I’m being fr

@Ttay Taylor wait you aren’t being sarcastic right ?

Movie was amazing! Loved how they kept the setting true to the decade. The trailer actually does not give away what actually happens, just intense scenes to draw you in. Worth the watch. You won’t be disappointed.

Finally, a *phone* in *horror* that actually *helps* you, rather than *fucks* you over for once.📞🙏

😂😂😂😂😂🤡👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

😭😭😭😂😂😂

Yeah same yellow jacket hoodi!!

😂

11k like

I just watched this movie today. Stunning plots and it gives me thrill through the entire story. AWESOME CAST! Must watch!!

@lofi boy ok good 👍

@Gou Sang more for adults but kids can watch too, with parental vision I think

Is it for Kids? Or watcheable for adults also?

no not really.. 6/10

The way the dad beat his daughter. The way she cried. That was our childhood. Sent shivers down my spine.

Me too especially when she cried it triggered something smh I had to stop myself from thinking about it

I’m glad I haven’t been hit with a belt yet😐

I thought I was the only one

Who's "our"⁉️ Nahh that was you fam 😭☠️☠️☠️

THIS WAS SO GOOD JUST WATCHED IT JUST NOW AND IT HAD ME CRIED A LOT . and Props to the actors they Did amazing especially the kid who played finney And The sister who played Gwen they're so talented 🙌

I watched this today and it was really good, the ending made me cry. 9/10 for me, really good movie and one of my favourite horror movies ever now

@Ethan Hawke my dude, please stop pretending to be him lol

@Mell you seem to be a really great fan of mine where are you from?

Same. Ending was great !!!!!

It was really good missed out on so many opportunities to make it better tho

Something about this is touching. The scene where the boy is practicing hitting with the phone and the ghost is there with him was pretty cool, but for some reason the idea that these kids were there to walk him through and help him succeed where they failed really hit hard. It was like they were his guardian angels.

Yes it’s very emotional and to think that people irl get kidnapped and the terrors they feel as the try to escape or are murdered by their kidnapper.

@Tonya Martin it's because the ghost children wants Finn to kill the grabber

@Tonya Martin There's no lid on the toilet.

@Lisette Garcia No wonder why it reminds me a bit of It. With the yellow raincoat, the black balloons, etc. XD I love it though. It's a really good film.

This movie was absolutely amazing. The ending made me cry. That showed how great the acting was. I wish this was a series instead

It wasn't that good.

I watched this yesterday night and oh my gosh ITS AWESOME!!! The moral is great and Mason did awesome! All the actors did great! Thank you for creating an awesome horror movie!

Y’all should go watch this movie rn ngl probably one of the best movie I’ve seen this year is so nostalgic I also love how it’s low key really funny and not super scary it gives me the same vibes that it gave me but more scary cuz it’s more realistic

I agree!

I saw this movie 5 minutes ago and it's was amazing the jumpscares the story everything is great!!! High 🖐️ for this amazing movie worth to watch.

Usually when they give away the movie like this there’s a huge twist. And Ethan Hawke doesn’t usually do a crappy script

Actually Ethan got a couple creepy scripts.

@Andromeda Galaxy you very smart ma frien

Aaannnddd what do you know there was no twist!!

It was a cool lil movie I sure wish I would have spent that lil money on some more XRP OR XDC

I wish I watched it on the cinemas since its so good. The siblings are the best and Ethan is absolutely terrifying. I hope the sister gets her own film dwelling more on her abilities. She’s fantastic. Overall, its a great watch.

Her acting when she was being spanked by her dad was so realistic. It was as if he was really spanking her.

The brother has abilities too that’s why he was able to communicate with the dead kids…

Awesome Movie. It's depicted as a horror film but it was more of a supernatural suspense thriller, with a little horror mixed in. Madeline who plays "Gwen" the sister is great. Within in the first 30 minutes you immediately bond with the main characters and route for both to make it through this nightmare. Ethan Hawke gives a spine chilling performance as The Grabber. While it does borrow slightly in certain aspects from other films it's still remains its own entity with clever plotting. I felt like it could've benefited from a slightly longer run time, but other than that it's a pretty good movie.

For everyone saying that “it shows the whole movie in the trailer”, surprisingly, it didn’t. I was caught off guard multiple times when I watched it in theaters

This movie exceeded my expectations because I thought it would be a lame horror movie but it was terrifying and creative

It definitely feels like the IT story, with a bit of normalcy in the villain

It isn't It unless you think there just being a child killer is It or basic shit that is horror themed. In that case you should add John Wayne Gacy movies/docs in there. They are also like It and prob knock offs.

For real!! there’s a kid riding a bike with a yellow raincoat, the villain leaves ballon’s , and there’s missing kids🤔

@Nora nobody cares

It feels that way because it’s a story a little bit like it honestly and to be honest with you if you read the original story the short story he actually was a clown he was not a musician I believe it’s a great short story you should read it amazing I feel like that with every like horror novel they give you that kind of feel like oh Stephen King must’ve wrote this but now it actually wasn’t even Stephen King wrote it

@Gabrielle Nice. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll have to check it out! And yeah, if it's anything like reading the The Black Phone it's probably very short lol

Whoever created the mask deserves an award it was absolutely terrifying

Just finished watching and wow. 10/10 and I rarely rate movies that high. It’s very difficult to make a good movie but with the amazing acting and non stop edge of your seat suspense this movie was a masterpiece. Just brilliant wow

The reason why this movie was so good us because it taps into something that happens in real life and a very real thing. Anyone can relate to how scary getting kidnapped would probably be.

Just watch the movie and can I say its absolutely wonderful thought it was going to be boring but it was way beyond what I expected amazingly done good work on this movie

This trailer saved me 10 bucks. It was like a free movie.

No it wasn't free. You will pay for it. Or else....

@bob dole i thought it was a different verison of IT then got shitted on by rest of trailer

@Alley cat do the forge

No you need to go see the actual movie. It was really good.

You guys don’t know the scene where

Soul striking film. Children are even more capable than adults. Justice for all children

I loved it! Mason Thames (Finney) and Madeleine McGraw (Gwen) 's acting were great! I'd love to see them in more films. (Spoiler) The beat down was so satisfying! We were cheering for Fin haha our household was so loud that the dogs started barking hahah. The Grabber and the Ghosts are not the only terrifying thing in this film.

I was seriously impressed by this. Tense af, the kids in the lead are great, very well made (cinematography, editing, all that jazz), a serious, gripping horror fantasy.

Just watched and was blown away. Ending gave me goosebumps and wet eyes. Child acting not normally my thing but these actors are 10/10.

This is like *”IT”* but from a much more realistic and even rather complex perspective.

@Based quero ver filme de sexo pode ser qualquer um de outro dia ele esteja

@oddessy No one said It was realistic. This clown thinks Black Phone is realistic which is just....I dont even know what to call it.

@Jadon Jacobs Thats just Joe Hill trying hard to earn a dollar by making sure people know who his daddy is.

@Shark Mako Penniwise isnt a guy dressed up as a clown.

finally a movie that focuses on the victims and not the villain.

Saw this last night and loved it. The only thing I’ll say is that I was expecting it to be more graphic or gruesome. And I was hoping there was more to it than what’s in the trailer. But the trailer legit is the whole movie. LoL

Ethan Hawke didn't make movies for a long time then he came back in full swing & now he's in so many projects! I'm so glad to see him back, he's always been one of my favorite actors.

I was skeptical when I went to see this as scary movies now a days aren’t that even good anymore , but this was actually super good I jumped a few times lol I recommend 9/10

They literally showed the whole movie in almost 3 mins.

So does every movie lol

Just saw the movie and ...yeah you were right

barley any robin tho😓

because we’re literally idiots

Watch it trust me ur wrong

I love it when a trailer keeps you wanting more and not giving to much away

The whole idea of how he couldn't stand up for himself was portrayed really well to feel the impact when he did at the end. Great watch, Highly recommend.

Amazing, just amazing! I loved every bit of the film and the acting was incredible as well

Seen this last night. Awesome movie. Incredible acting by these kids. Well made and directed. Psychological type horror. So good.

@Titus McCarthy lol

Seen this? SAW THIS*

Ethan Hawks is easily one of the most consistent actors working today hes got range and almost always chooses great scripts and I feel like he generally doesn’t get a enough credit. His performance in First Reformed is one of the most convincing of the last decade imo

U just blew my mind I knew he sounded familiar he’s amazing

Agreed 100%

He's one of my heroes, Hollywood doesn't deserve him

@TheHailstorm77 not the same guy.....

@Realist38 this but un-ironically. All those actors are trash except Pitt

So watched this movie last night and I can tell you honestly, it was a great movie! I recommend to everyone, it was definitely a 10/10 watch!

more of a 4.5

I just watched the movie and it was VERY good!!! I would rate it 10/10

Just watched this movie, and loved it! Loved the villian, the protagonists and the overall tone. Just don’t give away the whole movie in trailers, Blum. Thanks.

The overall tone? What are you, a third grader?

I saw this movie this past weekend. 10's across the board! Best movie of 2022! ❤

Just watched the movie today and it was definitely better than the trailer. I still can't get over how good it was. It had a unique storyline that will make you sad, giddy, and happy. Awesome, I'd be able to recommend it to a friend without being embarrassed about my recommendation.

Awesome movie.. I cried in the end and that means it was a perfect acting..but i felt so bad for the little girl cuz nobody appreciated the fact that she was the main reason why the murder got found..

I just took my 2 teenage sons to watch this. I have to admit, I only knew a VERY basic premise. Never watched the trailer. I quite enjoyed it. Teared up at the end because I’m a boy mom and even the thought of it all upset me. But, all 3 of us enjoyed it. Ethan Hawke did awesome as a villain. And all the child actors were amazing. Definitely kept me on edge and finally had to cover my mouth so I didn’t yell out when certain things happened. 🤣

Damn I’m glad I didn’t watch this trailer beforehand, the movie’s really good, and this is literally the entire thing 😂

Looks genuinely creepy, however Blumhouse has to stop showing the whole freaking movie in the trailers!

I can't remember if it's Chinese or Japanese but they show all the boring shit in trailers and at thr movies people get all excited nothing like the movie theaters over her

So true! Geez. I feel like I’ve already seen it now.

There’s an easy way around this ..don’t watch trailers.. I never do ..can’t stand them !

Thanks for the tip, won't watch the trailer, straight to the movie

it is what it is. movie trailer these days are big spoilers now 😂

just watched it, what a freaking movie! just wow!

I really enjoyed this, Ethan Hawke portrays the villain so well. Good acting all round.

this movie oh my. I give it a try watching this movie and I never dissapointed every minute watching it. the plot, the cast and the suspense are Chef kiss.you know it's a great movie not by just some jumpscare, this movie is superb. the casting here was amazing. this two kids have a future in acting.i hope they will be known. my sister and I cried at the end. you'll know why when you watch this. when Gwen was being hit by her father, her acting was amazing like she'll channelling the pain with the audience so I cried. THIS MOVIE IS WORTH OF YOYR TIME GO WATCH IT. I'm not a troll here like a bot saying the movie is good even though it not. GO WATCH IT!!!!!!

Went to watch this in theaters yesterday it was definitely worth it I give it a 9/10 😊

One of the best movies I have watched today. Must watch. Full of suspense & thriller. Its just awesome. Rating: 10/10

This is a great movie. 10/10 . I really would love a sequel about the grabber's origin. He said he would hear the phone too.

this was a great movie, definitely loved the kids acting

All I can say is that this was a masterpiece! Bravo! 👏

I feel like the trailer wants us to believe this is the entire movie… but something tells me there’s going to be so much more.

@derek Summerfield no he didn’t

@Remd yes it's good

@Why So Serious he literally looks so much like Ethan Hawke that I thought he was playing a younger version of himself

no it was the entire movie unfortunately.

I watched it last night and yelled they showed the while movie

Best horror film I've seen in a while. I need moreeee good films. It's rarer these days

I didn’t know exactly what to think with a title of “The Black Phone”. What could possibly be exciting about a phone, but this movie was really good!!!!

10/10 Had me on the edge of my seat. Loved it.

It's been a long time since I've watched a film and got all tensed. Each to their own, obviously. I thought it was brilliant! The kids are great actors, they will go far 😁

@mesa louis also some really unexpected scare jumps 😱

It was sad.🥹😭

Just watched this movie in theatre and it was absolutely fantastic! Nostalgia, friendship, a few amazing scares, intense stranger danger theme, a round story with no loose ends. 10/10 would recommend watching! And don’t keep your popcorn on your lap bc you will throw it 🥲

It was SHITE!!

I booked the ticket after your review today. Looking forward to it.

@Donny Griffantiit's boring and weird..no scares at all👎🏾

Is it more paranormal or suspense scare

@KING DA BEAST real bad it was horrible

Just finished it and damn unique storyline and the cinematography was amazing I recommend it!!

i loved absolutely everything about this movie...ethan hawke and mason thames were perfect...

Im glad I never saw the previews, because this is a really an incredible realistic horror thriller movie. Good job film crew.

Literally going to see this movie in an hr and a half and watching the trailer one more time so I know what I'm in for

If I was personally charge of making this trailer, I would have kept the concept of the kids behind the phone out of the trailer. The main kid getting kidnapped by a magician with a girl getting dreams to help him is already an idea that captures attention. The kids behind the phone could have been a neat twist.

Probably would have sold a lot fewer tickets off the trailer, rather than word of mouth which they’ll still get though.

Actually, the idea of the ghost children is what's making me interested in the movie. Everything else seems kinda lame

The magician kidnapping a kid was enough for me to want to watch now how much bigger can the twist be 🤷🏽‍♂️

@Kenicia Johnson Totally agree! From that point, it should be enough to entice ppl to see it. It could then be a movie where people who see it highly encourage others to go see it because of the crazy plot twists, etc. Many ways to do or not to do something, but I'm certainly looking forward to the movie, so perhaps the trailer did its job?? lol

Couldn't agree more!

At first I thought the trailer gave much of the story away, but there's a lot more to it. Impressive movie.

Just saw this movie it was really good haven’t seen a movie that’s worth watching in a minute I was intrigued the whole time this is definitely worth the watch.

Madeleine McGraw has done an amazing job acting in The Black Phone!🏆⭐️✨

Gonna watch this in cinemas alone on saturday. I'm so excited!!!

Went & saw this last night & absolutely loved it! It did a great job in setting a creepy tone & making you feel uneasy from start to finish. It definitely kept me on edge. It’s not a typical horror movie littered with jump scares. All of the actors did a phenomenal job especially Ethan Hawkes performance. From the atmosphere, to the acting, storyline/script, visuals, it was all great. It did a great job at making me feel like I was in that decade as well. Beautifully shot. I highly recommend this movie. Definitely worth a watch!

@Miss Whitley Just who in the hell comes up with a convertible mask? A hot damn genius, that's who. It was like riding along with the top up giving us calm whole car vibes. To all of the sudden it's top down mode, and everyone better hold on to their butts, for the vicious ride that's coming. When he would say naughty boy, I legit wanted to vomit with that atrociously eerie evil sound that was behind it. Imagine having that sucker showing up at a child's bday to do magic tricks, you might as well higher Leather Face or Michael Myers. Those poor babies wouldn't sleep for a year. I've never thought I would ever be thankful in my life, for not having a house phone. 😂

The kid looks like Björn Andrésen

@Miss Whitley thnx for telling.. also what is that scene, him killing his brother?

@Texas Jaco The damn mask & even when he’s dressed up as the “magician”. Looking sketchy as hell 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

@brenda b Hope you enjoy it as much as I did 🙂

I'm really surprised I never heard of this movie. I just watched the whole movie and it was fantastic....

I am so glad I watched this movie after the trailer. This trailer gives away everything.

This looks amazing. Can’t wait to watch this!!

One of my fav horror movies, the actors did so good at acting, and i love the set, this movie has its own aesthetic 👌

Great movie! Ethan Hawke did his thing on this. I love suspense mystery twists and this delivered. Also, the whole movie was not shown in 3 minute trailer, as some simpletons on here claim.

Just watched this movie for the first time today and I already want to go see it again, and can’t wait for it to come out on DVD

_im watching it online on soap2day and I had to rewind the ending._ 😩

The overall message in this movie was amazing 🤍

This was an amazing movie! Recommend highly

When a movie is made by the director of Sinister, Doctor Strange and Emily Rose, you'd know this one's legit.

@MrWeareone777 which movie is based on a true story? I'd love to make sure I see it

@MrWeareone777 If the exorcist is the scariest movie ever for me, will Emily Rose also be scary?

Yeah...legit shit.

@Matty Ice Scares the crap out of me, especially knowing it's based on a true story. Don't watch it alone.

I saw Blumhouse and was like “alright cool” and then saw The Exorcism of Emily Rose and my mood lifted and said “we’ll shit, this’ll be at the very least decent.

This goes beyond my expectations whoaa must watch!!!❤️ 10/10

Enjoyed this film! I wish it was longer actually. I fell In love with all the kids!

Go see this movie. Best horror film I’ve ever seen, by far. 5 stars for a horror film. I’ve never been so anxious watching a movie

Really recommend this movie, I just watched it and it's really really good the story is fantastic and scary. And a little bit jumpscare. I really hope they should always make this kind of movie🍿

It was looking pretty cool. I thought the dead kids speaking to him was a big spoiler, but then it it got even bigger when the trailer walked us through the escape plan.

The escape plan is pretty much revealed early on, and yet the movie manages to keep you on your toes.

Hopefully theirs a plot twist

It's literally based on a book with this as the premise. Y'all weird

IV'E SEEN IT, ITS ALRIGHT.

@Aleph Nill That’s not always true.

I've watched the whole movie and it's soooooo goood i gave it an 10/10!

Just watched it. Finally a cool new horror movie! Had to share my joy :D

absolutely amazing movie, 10/10 would recommend!!!

Watched this last night and I felt like I saw the entire movie before. I remember seeing the trailer at the theater last year. Now that I'm watching the trailer again I can see why I felt that way...

I feel like this would be an AMAZING horror game if it was made by the right people!!!!

I could watch Cory Kenshin play that for real!

ye

I played elden ring before watching and could relate to the multiple deaths teaching me victory

Let’s get started on making it 👀

right! like a escape room

Great movie, it's been awhile I didn't enjoy a movie like that, Fantastic movie 👌

This movie was amazing 🤩 I recommend everyone to watch this
