Would not recommend. Unusual but not nearly as smart as it thinks it is.
The Black Phone was a solid horror/thriller with surprisingly un-annoying jump scares, nice combination of supernatural and real life horror, and what I thought was a satisfying ending, even if it came with a bit too much cheese. Won't change your life, you won't miss anything spectacular if you don't see it, but it's still a pretty good genre film, and original enough to be interesting. Or in other words, it's one of the good ones from Blumhouse. Would recommend.

I watched 'The Black Phone' and I concur.
I'm not a 'Horror Genre' guy, but I really enjoyed it. Its just a nice, well done, well written and acted and very simple fun Horror movie.
Its tight, it stays within itself and tells an interesting story.
