Weld_E Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) Quote Finney Shaw is a shy but clever 13-year-old boy who's being held in a soundproof basement by a sadistic, masked killer. When a disconnected phone on the wall starts to ring, he soon discovers that he can hear the voices of the murderer's previous victims -- and they are dead set on making sure that what happened to them doesn't happen to Finney.

Airhead Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Most trailers usually give away a lot this one did not, I really enjoyed this movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oktober Knight Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Just saw it. A decent movie - it definitely had a slow burn effect during the first half. I thought I would like it better than I did but the plot is quite unique and The Grabber is super creepy. 3/5 stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Phoenix Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 It was great, one of the best in suspense in the last few years; it was very Stephen King-ish and IT/Stranger Things and then I see that it’s based on a Joe Hill story who is King’s son. Anyway the acting from the main kids and Ethan was what elevated the movie and then it was very violent and gore, I wish they could delve further in the universe. Don’t slept on this one.

AlanRickman1946 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 The scene at 2:25 reminds me of Pans Labyrinth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystery Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Definitely want to see this but I am so excited for all these movies such as this one held up by the pandemic to finally clear up because the trailers for them have been playing for ages and they are getting annoying.

DoctorIce Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 The trailer looks really generic to me, but it's been sat with a strong RT for score for nearly a year. Will check it out now it's finally released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin2803 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 It was good, but overhyped, same as Sinister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fountain Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Yeah it’s overhyped. It’s not bad, just not special at all. Honestly the killer is quite dumb, the acting can be a bit cringe and some elements just aren’t even remotely explained lol. It’s fine for a one time watch though if you wanna see some jumpscares.

harwee Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 The way Ethan keeps winning with his quick lil horror films that earns its budget back in literally days. I was gonna see this last Friday but got tied up with a clusterfuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherish Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Pretty good movie, nothing to write home about though. Definitely save it for a matinee/discount tuesday The 'naughty boy' part creeped me tf out though and the two jumpscares were more scary cause they were soundtracked loud. I was sitting close to the screen though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weld_E Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 Finally saw it and I sadly didn’t enjoy this very much. I felt like the beginning was promising, but there were too many plot points that went no where. For instance: Spoiler 1. Their father being an abusive alcoholic. He beat the daughter up at the beginning of the movie and it was disturbing, but it didn’t add much to the plot. He seemed semi- normal after. 2. The sister’s gift was kind of useless. Her brother eventually escaped on his own and the only point of her gift was for the police to find all the other burried bodies, but there were other ways they could’ve done that. 3. The killers brother, who lives in the same house, being obsessed with finding the killer. It was an interesting premise that once again went no where. 4. Why did the grabber kidnap young boys and why was he obsessed with punishing naughty boys? Did he choose random targets or was there a criteria he followed? What is the significance of the mask and why did he breakdown when Finn knocked it out of his face? 5. Why are Finn and the Grabber the only ones who can hear the phone ringing?

ALA Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I for the most part quite liked this. The sister was the best character nnn and was surprised with how violent the bullying scenes were. I kinda wish the grabber's backstory was more established. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverse Warholian Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) 28 minutes ago, The Witch said: It was cute, 3/5 @Reverse Warholian It was your typical run of the mill Blumhouse horror that SQUANDERED a genius concept and unnecessarily raised more questions than it answered thanks to a lousy script. The kid actors were bad too. Watchable but frustrating. 5.75/10 Edited July 4, 2022 by Reverse Warholian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
