Movie Review – The Black Phone

The Black Phone had my full attention right from the start. Surprisingly, it had Runpee Mom from the get go too. Horror movies are not her thing, she prefers historical movies but I was lucky enough to convince her into going with me. I asked her what she thought as the credits were rolling and she immediately popped off with, “That’s an A for sure!” She loved it too.

From the cast to the directing and pacing, this movie checked off all those boxes. Watching the character development of Finney (Mason Thames) was a work of art in itself. He did everything right. I’ll be watching for this youngster, I have a feeling he’s going to become a huge hit throughout his career. His sister Gwen (Madeleine McGraw) was a gem! She blew me away too, she’s a feisty one for sure.

I could talk about this movie all day long, Mom and I had a blast dissecting it over the drive home and well into the evening. I’ll make this review shorter than our conversation and leave you with one thought, we highly recommend this one. I think you’ll be awed in ways that will leave you happy you saw it.

Enjoy and shoot me some comments on your thoughts. I’m curious to hear everyone’s opinions.

Grade: A+

About The Peetimes: It’s movies like this that make our jobs extremely hard. I’m my opinion I would not leave my seat even if my bladder cried and begged me to. I captured 2 Peetimes that in a crunch you can use and still enjoy this fantastic movie even though you’re missing some of the essence it brings.

Movie Watching Must Have!!

I go feral for this app. I love it so much and I wish everyone knew about it and used it. It is incredibly useful and I would be devastated if this app ever disappeared. Things I love: 1) the pee times! It’s so handy to know the best time to go and then read the synopsis of what’s happening while I’m gone. I never have to worry about missing the good bits! 2) knowing if there is a post-credits scene or not. This might be my fav feature because I would have missed out on some pretty critical scenes if it weren’t for RunPee. 3) the movie review and viewer rankings. This info has made me watch some movies that I normally wouldn’t and it’s nice seeing things outside of my usual scope. 4) that it’s a small family run business. I love shopping small and it really does feel like I’m part of the RunPee family! If you reach out to them, Dan will personally respond to you and he is so warm and helpful. GET THIS APP AND THEN SUBSCRIBE! It is absolutely worth it and you’ll be using it again and again!

Plot
Finney Shaw is a shy but clever 13-year-old boy who is abducted by a sadistic killer and trapped in a soundproof basement where screaming is of no 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.
