The Black Phone Ratings & Reviews
- Tommy Woerner22 februari 2026It's like Stephen King's It but even more sinister
- ADC897416 februari 2026Mostly boring, not scary to me. Ethan Hawke and the kids did what they were supposed to acting wise but it just never grabbed my attention. I’ve heard 2 is better so I will be checking it out soon.
- mariyoung10028 januari 2026I wish I can freaking watch it
- Ajay25 januari 2026The Black Phone's a novel concept, and I've always enjoyed horror movies where kids prevail over an evil that adults can't see (like IT, Stranger Things, Nightmare on Elm Street). But, there isn't much horror to behold, really. Kid gets kidnapped, Grabber wants to play "Naughty Boy" with him, and that just peters away into a plot revolving around escaping. Furthermore, there's no real mythos around the Grabber, and that makes him a very one-dimensional villain, and doesn't add much depth.
- reinerruska25 januari 2026Decent horror movie! Scary bc can happen
- Rick11 juni 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.
- Mr. D22 januari 2026I enjoyed this on the first watch. Rewatched after part 2 and it seems boring. Lacking actual "horror". While part 2 isn't perfect. It is better.
- SnooedKiwi15 oktober 2025cool stuff
- afbusi18 januari 2026not a horror movie by any metric. there is 1 scene that COULD BE considered horror but trust when u see it u will NOT be scared. its a good movie tho.
- Cherryflix11 januari 2026I went into this thinking it was Blumhouse trash. I was wrong. Cool killer and mask design. Watch this.
- Brandon J Hicks9 januari 2026I was on the edge of my butt for most of it. A few good jump scares..
- Deshawn Clowney1 november 2025It's hard to find fresh takes on films with this subject matter but man this was an excellent film. The acting from the entire cast was outstanding!!! I was on the edge of my seat the entire movie. I recommend everyone to watch this movie.
- Kevin Ward7 juli 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.)
- Cameron's29 december 2025Loved it!
- cursedbags19 oktober 2025can’t lie kinda hyped for the second movie this was good.
