Overview

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.

Roger Ebert

The Black Phone is a saga of support and resilience disguised as a semi-paranormal serial murderer flick.

Empire

Despite its darker-than-dark premise — Abduction! Dead kids! Imprisonment! — The Black Phone finds hope in the midst of the horror.

The Hollywood Reporter

Even when projecting utter desperation, Thames is spirited enough to keep the film from becoming utterly bleak.

IMDb

As both a horror film and a coming-of-age film, 'The Black Phone' is just as entertaining as any Stephen King-inspired story should be, with its well-developed characters and involving plot.

Rotten Tomatoes

The Black Phone isn't just the best film Scott Derrickson has made thus far… it’s a larger testament to the kind of humanity and imagination that can come out of modern horror.
