Storyline

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.

Critics consensus

“The Black Phone might have been even more frightening, but it remains an entertaining, well-acted adaptation of scarily good source material.”

RTKermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)Jan 18, 2024

It's not groundbreaking, but it's very well done.

R

Richard Roeper

RTChicago Sun-TimesJan 3, 2023

Ethan Hawke continues his spectacular mid-career run in a rare villainous role.

D

David Stratton

RTThe AustralianJul 30, 2022

The young actors rise above their material, but Hawke is wasted as the killer.

B

Bryce Hanson

RTHorror Movie TalkSep 23, 2025

The biggest pleasant surprise is the quality of the acting from the young cast. Especially Mason Thames who plays Finney, and Madeleine McGraw who plays Gwen, and has some of the best lines in the film.
