The Black Phone Ratings & Reviews
- Stairwaytothestars2d agoThe movie is well made with good acting but it could have been better if it were creepier.
- PyutarosJuly 20, 2025I honestly thought this was going to be terrible and it ended up being great!
- dexterhippJuly 17, 2025Such an amazing movie to watch with amazing twists.
- RyezooFebruary 5, 2025📞 Creepy thriller with a few solid jump scares. Great performance from Ethan Hawke and more impressive is how good all the kids were! Definitely check this out
- kylescriJuly 9, 2025Slow clap on this one! 👏 I really enjoyed this movie! It was engaging and very interesting. Great acting throughout and I would totally recommend if you enjoyed sinister or the purge. Ethan Hawke is the man!
- Kevin WardJuly 7, 2025Took my 14 year old son to this screening. Today was his last day of middle school and I think this is the first rated R film I’ve ever taken him to see in the theater. A perfect film for such an occasion. This story has major Stephen King vibes, with adolescent protagonists, children going missing with a supernatural slant. It’s based on a book by Joe Hill who everyone knows is Stephen King’s son. (I actually just found that out). At any rate, it’s a really well executed story. Ethan Hawke is simultaneously creepy and menacing and he dons a Tom Savini mask that has alternate facial expressions. But the leads Mason Thames and Madeleine McGraw both really sell their roles and their sibling relationship. The Black Phone delivers pretty much exactly what you would expect, but in the best way possible. Just don’t watch the trailers, because then you will really know exactly what to expect. Really fun theatrical experience too. The audience was cheering, screaming and clapping. Highly recommend. (Update: realized we actually took all our kids to see Ambulance which was rated R, so it wasn’t his first theatrical R rated film, but it probably should have been. I think he’ll remember this more than that one.)
- HalphPintApril 25, 2025Great movie, loved the gore but the movie is so much more. Great lore, and a new slasher movie staple in Art the clown.
- RickJune 11, 2025For some reason I had in my head this was some lame horror movie about a haunted cell phone 👻 📱 . I finally watched it after hearing from a few people that it’s worth watching. I thought it was great. The time period it was set in, the music, the tension, just the whole vibe was great. It didn’t feel the need to lore dump us and explain everything, which would have certainly been underwhelming. We were just along for the ride, the same as all the characters involved.
- UniqueMovies Deb HJune 19, 2025Wow!! 👍👍👍 Fantastic! Movie! The language was a little Strong coming from kids mouths. But overall this movie is most definitely! Worth The Watch 👍👍👍 I don't want to spoil the movie, so I'm not going to get into details. Just grab a 🌭 and 🍿, 🍔🍟🥛,, kick back and Enjoy! The! Watch! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😱
- mckayli2June 25, 2025FINNEY IS SO FINE anyways i love how everything is all tied in together and i just know the second one isn’t gonna even compare but i do know the second is still gonna be really good
- PunisherJune 25, 2025Absolutely worth seeing. A film that keeps the tension at a very high level without exaggerated action scenes or creepy effects straight and thought out from the beginning to the end. And you can probably look forward to autumn, as another movie appears.
