The black phone (2022)

The black phone (2022)

In my opinion the black phone was the perfect mix of horror and coming of age. It was a fun movie for  teenagers to even  the middle aged. The nostalgia of the 70s was not lost on me and I really think that it hit the nail on the head with culture references; but that is not the only thing they hit the nail on. The bone chilling dialog from the grabber hits so deep in the chills. 

“Eat it, don’t eat it. You are already down here. What do I need to drug you for?”

 This is so gut wrenching I could legit feel my stomach turn. It really highlights to me just what they were going for, the fear of gay pedophiles. All though, I think they were going for a metaphor, or at least wanted to bring this fear that they had back then to life. Despite the grabber being the main “villain” so to speak, I think what really had me hooked on this movie was Gwen, her father and Finney.  Madeleine McGraw’s performance was truly raw and scary.

“My dreams are just dreams.”

The way her voice was raw and how she had her face was so uncomfortable, it really made me feel her and Finn.  This and the dad saying “You are not your mother. You do not hear things. You do not see things. They are not there.” had me on the edge of my seat; which I was anyway all movie. 

I don’t think I can explain how much I loved this movie; from the plot to the execution and the cast, it really slid into place. I think this is probably the movie of the year, or at least the thriller of the year.
