If you like horror movies, then this is a good one. There are a few jumps scares, but generally it’s a bit of a slow grind. The movie is set in 1978 Denver, Colorado when there is a streak of missing boys, that the police are having no luck in solving. There some supernatural themes here as well, as the primary plot point is an old disconnected black phone that previous victims use to communicate.
The movie stars a relatively newcomer, 15 year old, Mason Thames. Thames does a great job as the protagonist opposite Ethan Hawke’s evil twisted psychotic mad man.
It’s got an 83% on rotten tomatoes, and I’d give it 4 out of 5 stars.
