The Black Phone probably has the most suspense out of any movie in 2022! Ethan Hawke does an outstanding job here as The Grabber! Every scene he pops up in he just looks menacing, scary and it really pumps up your suspense! I love how when the phone rings and it reveals the next few moments of the story! Even when the phone rang it felt scary! Finney Blake is a decent character here with the actor doing a good performance also! Overall, The Black Phone is the best horror movie of 2022 so far! Thats all I have to say there, its that good! read more
