As a Horror enthusiast and fan of Joe Hill's short story from '20th Century Ghosts' I had been waiting anxiously to see 'the Black Phone. It did not disappoint, another exceptional collaboration from the brilliant minds behind 'Sinister'.
Fans of Hill's short story will appreciate the opening sequence, which was faithful to the short story. There were many great references to Horror movies of the era, and the movie had me on edge from the title cards through to the ending, leaving me nervous and uncomfortable.
The highlight of the movie was the brilliant performances from the cast of talented youths, particularly Madeleine McGraw who was remarkable, providing heart, soul and necessary comic relief!
