We’re diving into The Black Phone — Scott Derrickson’s chilling blend of supernatural horror and gritty true-crime realism. We unpack the film’s eerie atmosphere, Ethan Hawke’s haunting performance as “The Grabber,” and the emotional core that makes this story so much more than just jump scares.

Join us as we explore the movie’s 1970s setting, the symbolism behind the mysterious black phone, and how trauma, resilience, and childhood courage drive the film’s tension. We’ll also discuss how The Black Phone stands out in the modern horror landscape — and whether it earns its reputation as one of the decade’s most unsettling thrillers.
