Reviews

IndieWire - Marisa Mirabal
The Black Phone is a succinct and stressful terror blanketed with themes of friendship, family, and inventive portrayals of resiliency.

IGN - Amelia Emberwing
The Black Phone mixes the supernatural with relatable horrors in ways that will leave you both terrified and hopeful.

Slashfilm - Unnamed
For my money, The Black Phone is more complete and effective than Derrickson's previous horror movie "Sinister" and is the first feature adaptation of Joe Hill's work that demands more big-screen Joe Hill adaptations.
80
The Hollywood Reporter - John DeFore
The story’s final third works even better than the buildup would suggest, shrugging off some of the atmospherics and, with a clever nod to a classic in the serial-killer genre, focusing all the movie’s energies on a sequence that delivers
80
Empire - Ben Travis
Despite its darker-than-dark premise — Abduction! Dead kids! Imprisonment! — The Black Phone finds hope in the midst of the horror. Looking for soulful scares this summer? Answer the call.
