The Black Phone | Official Thread | dir. by Scott Derrickson

[WhatsGoodTy]

This movie was great. I was when lil breh broke that fakkit's ankle and went ham on his jaw with the phone. And his sister was a real one. I like that she didn't save him and he got to save himself. Instead, her gifts helped the other boys get discovered. The only complaint I have is that when the weirdo was sleeping in that one scene, I would have went for the knife on the counter before I went for the front door because there was definitely a yellow one in the knife block

Same thing I said! I was yelling at my tv “kill that nikka” he doing a fukking combination lock

Would’ve been better if the pic had Carlyle’s face, seeing as he wrote the screenplay for this.

Liked this movie. But all them kids being taken in your town, yet all them kids still walking around by themselves without a care in the world!? Town had the world's worst parents lol

Oh I didn’t know that.

He co-wrote Sinister’s screenplay as well. Him and Derrickson seem like a dynamic duo.

was stranger danger big in the 70's?

I'll chalk it up that it wasn't...cause I know in the 80's - 90's it was.

Yeah you probably right. I was born in 89 so I'm probably just unaware of the climate of that era

I thought this was good but the ending fell a little flat to me, I was just hoping there was something more going on. It was really well done, I needed more of Ethan being a psycho.

The opening credits was the most chilling part of the film to me. Like, Se7en (1995) levels of unsettling. Bravo to the folks behind that.

The kids seemed so aware too about the kidnappings. They were old enough to know not to talk or go near any strangers.

Early 80s it became more of a thing. These days parents won’t let their kids out of their sight.
