Finney Blake, a shy but clever 13-year-old boy, is abducted by a sadistic killer and trapped in a soundproof basement where screaming is of little use. When a disconnected phone on the wall begins to ring, Finney discovers that he can hear the voices of the killer’s previous victims. And they are dead set on making sure that what happened to them doesn’t happen to Finney.

"Watched this movie a second time, Creepy and alluring. Impressed with how much structure is put into the theme and characters. For example the sister is psychic and gets it from her mom, takes time to give its own scenes for some of the missing boys. I’m interested to know more about the grabbers story though, even a prequel would be auspicious!"
"This movie was great! It was one of the few horror movies I felt really lived up to the hype everyone was creating around it. Ethan Hawke really nailed this role. The plot was awesome and it had some great creepy ness and twists. Would highly recommend this one, definitely would watch it again!"
""You raise the phone, take a fast step back, step forward, step back, and swing."

OKAY, so I think I might be the absolute BIGGEST glazer for this movie EVER. When I was watching this, I was literally LOCKED IN, I barely touched my phone while watching this movie.
and it's THAT good, I'm not the one for horror movies, but I heard from people that the ending of this movie was satisfying AS HELL (it was) and i dont regret watching it.

I originally found this movie on like... tiktok, one of those movie-summarisers or something, and i was like "hey this looks interesting i should watch it", TIKTOK ALWAYS EATS AT THE MOVIE/SHOW RECCOMENDATIONS!! i found 1/2 of my top four movies from tiktok

The whole concept of this movie is SO COOL? like someone gets kidnapped and there's a phone on the wall and there's the ghosts of the other killed-kids are on the other line TALKING to them?
-
while the kids were talking to Finney and telling him like information about things down in the basement, I was like "what the HECK does that even mean that's literally useless" LIKE THEY PULLED A CHEKHOV'S GUN (cause some of the things that the other kids told him were kinda dumb so I just assumed wrongfully) BUT THAT WAS SO SMART finney is literally like kevin mcallister but like in a horror movie (the ending reminded me of home alone when kevin just whips out the whole arsenal he has to use)
-
AND AND AND AND I love it when characters of movies are ACTUALLY smart for once, finney has a brain and i'm very proud of him, cause other movies the main character is just a dumb person like... pls get a brain.
-
also are we gonna ignore the fact that finney literally saw a whole ghost that’s like hair is hanging out of their face with blood on themselves and just like proceeded like nothing happened, like wouldn’t you just be so shocked that that happened that you can’t move?? this kid has more courage than me 😭😭

something that does irritate me though is that wheneve"
