Went with the wife and son today to see it. I enjoyed it. My only gripe is how concocted the girls story was to make the movie work. She was a bad ass though. 8/10

 

[Booker Carver]

It was ok. Way too many hard-to-believe parts, you basically have to suspend your disbelief 100%.

Agreed. That’s my complaint too, but that’s all movies.

The daughter could really act. I feel she carried the movie. My boy Max found out the hard way

I came into this movie blind and ended up enjoying it. Made me think on how even worse kidnappings are possibly today.

The Black Phone - Official Trailer 2

Movie is good. I do have some reservations 7 outta 10 I just got back from seeing it and this fits my opinion perfectly. You don’t lose anything by watching it…even as a matinee joint, it’s worth checking out if you trying to go to the show and see something :manny:

Yo OP any way to merge these two threads since these two threads since this flick is finally out?

 

[TheFireCar]

did anyone feel the whole Max brother thing was kind of unnecessary

it just felt too campy for the tone of what the movie was going for

 

[Deltron]

i gotta read the short story

i wanted to punch their dad in the face

 

[NobodyReally]

It was ok. They gave too much away in the trailers

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Saw this a few hrs ago
The theater was packed

It was cool

Could have been great

Ethan Hawke was really good in it

 

[Lootpack]

Personally didn’t get all the hooplah with this one despite it being my most anticipated film of the year. Ethan Hawke was great as ‘The Grabber’, even if his character didn’t get much screentime and I wish that he did. The two kids who starred acted their tails off and provided a lot of heart in an otherwise chilling story. There are horror elements throughout, but I think folks will enjoy it a lot more for what it is as a thriller. I made the mistake of going in preparing to be super spooked thanks to the marketing and that just wasn’t the case.

I don’t know who greenlighted the closing line of this film, but that shyt was cheesy as hell.

My expectations after Sinister were way too high and now that I look back on it, even that film got kinda ridiculous mid-way. Ghost kids in films just don’t do anything for me. Looked silly in Sinister, and it looked silly here as well.

Apparently Stephen King’s son was the author of the original story it’s based on? I can’t be shocked. The film has a lot of IT-residue. Didn’t hate it, but didn’t love it either.
