The big blow is in the casting. young people James Ranson and Madeleine McGraw are a stage show, and Ethan Hawke is pretty creepy as the villain (his mask is weird). Your character could be developed better, but that doesn’t affect the end result.

The Black Phone is one of the films I’m most looking forward to this year, along with Jordan Peele’s next one.
Scott Derrickson it may have had a few setbacks, but it has the best horror of the last decade aka The entity https://t.co/P7MLRYXDsF pic.twitter.com/2qHE00w7jX
