The Black Phone (2021)
Perfection on celluloid
The Black Phone is a suspenseful and thought-provoking horror film that explores the themes of child abuse, trauma, and the power of hope. Ethan Hawke gives a chilling performance as the Grabber, and the film is well-written and suspenseful. If you're looking for a good scare, I highly recommend The Black Phone.
The film is based on a short story by Joe Hill, the son of Stephen King. And it shows in both plot and action. Consider IT (part 1) in terms of King and his son's use of the underdog or weakest main character as the one to save the day.
While I'm not a big fan of child actors, in this case they really carried the film.
Awesome movie!
Last Words (2020)
Avoid at all costs!
Show your displeasure with the film industry by avoiding this clinker. The movie "Last Words" is a modern journey into morbidity and self-disgust. It starts going downhill around the halfway point and never recovers. I think the script writer must have suffered a mental breakdown.
