Answer the Damn Phone
To my Dearest Friend
Today I am writing to you about a film based on one of Joe Hill's short stories. Now it's no secret that I'm a fan of Joe Hill, so it won't surprise you that I enjoyed this film.
The film is The Black Phone.
The Black Phone was based on a short story written in 2004 by Joe Hill and stars Mason Thames and Ethan Hawke. It is based around a spooky phone that talks to victims of a serial killer.
Summary
We set the story in 1978, when a serial killer called the Grabber is taking children in Denver.
Our main character, Finney, lives with his sister, Gwen, and their alcoholic father, who is abusive. Finney also gets bullied at school, but his friend Robin protects him.
A boy Finney knows, Bruce, is abducted by the Grabber and Gwen dreams about it. Because of the dreams the police interviews her, this causes their father to punish her for speaking to the police.
