I love how all the other kid's calls are super ominous and scary, but Robins's call is heartfelt and encouraging, it gives that moment so much impact.

[@tonypeppermint5329]

Robin's call is awesome.

[@justclassicglam]

The 9 year old actress was so incredible, she's definitely going places in her career because her performance was so insanely well done!

[@Beenz9783]

Or.... Not to be negative to your comment... But amazing child actors always tend to have their lives "cut short" before they peak... I wish everyone the best life because we're entitled to be happy and chase our dreams... But sometimes the spotlight is really a... BULLSEYE in so many ways

[@nathanielmandrake1500]

I adore this movie and the plot behind it. The idea of the past victims helping Finney/being protagonists instead of the typical angry evil spirits harming innocent people was really nice for me. Seeing the kids do their best to make sure another kid doesn’t die is really emotional. The last phone call with Robin killed me.

[@colinbaldwin313]

Yeah. That's what really makes it "a scary movie with a heart of gold." It's an inversion of sinister supernatural "hauntings." The ghosts are haunting Finney in order to save him from their own fate.

I LOVED this movie. It focuses on the victims lives instead of the killer, which is super unique and in my opinion the right way to go. It then also opens up the possibility of a prequel, should they want to, showing why the grabber is who he is, the first kill, etc. Just amazing story telling all around.

I am so happy that the writer and the director tried to help you get this up, they seem like good people

[@Erilou88]

I just noticed, the kid batting at 3:58 was one of the kids kidnapped in the Doctor Sleep movie and tortured and murdered for his 'steam'. Nice little easter egg there.

[@mithruikka]

His name's Jacob Tremblay and he was in a lot of movies

[@Erilou88]

@@mithruikka He's definitely more famous than me.

[@fruitycdddsss]

Jacob Tremblay isn't in the Black Phone movie. It's a scene insert from the Doctor Sleep film to show the similarities between Stephen King's film and his son's.

[@pennywisethedancingclown2246]

That's literally just a clip of Jacob Tremblay from Doctor Sleep. It's not really an easter egg

I’m sorry you all had so much trouble with copyright issues, we all appreciate all the hard work you all do to get these kill counts out.

Idk if this is a weird thing to remark on, but I hope you and the rest of the team occasionally take stock of your impressive collection of videos and feel pride for your accomplishments

I know, I know, there are LOTS of gifted characters in the industry but Tom Savini is one of those people, I constantly smile as soon I hear his name as he was part of SO MUCH great SFX/PRop work and also played such hilarious roles himself in front of the camera, dude is just a living legend for me

I love this movie so much, but it felt to short. I wish it was a limited series that fleshed out all the characters instead.

[@SH0KA-z1g]

Honestly yeah I wished the kids were fleshed out more. Robin is my personal favorite and I would've wanted to see how they started being friends. Also the others are interesting. I wonder what they were like before they died from "The Grabber".

[@moemoeanisong]

Last time I had such a huge feel of relief ("Finn's arm is MINT") during a horror movie villain's kill was at the final scene of Death proof. Extremely satisfying

[@Scarshadow666]

What I love about Black Phone is that, not only is it one of the few horror movies that has a happy ending, but it's also one of the few modern horror movies I can think of where kids play a major role in defeating the antagonistic and/or evil force. The closest others I can think of is the IT movie series and Kuntlilanak on Netflix (and probably the Afraid of the Dark remake, but I haven't seen it yet to judge it well). Having grown up with kid-friendly horror media like Goosebumps, Monster House, and some of the '90s Scooby-Doo movies, it warms my old heart to see horror movies with uplifting and empowering stories, especially for kids.

[@mumblejumble9022]

Thank you to the team for getting this out and to the director and writer who tried their best to help you James!!

[@WindWerehog]

21:13 "Hello, hello, hello? Uh, I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night. Um, I actually worked in that office before you. I'm finishing up my last week now, as a matter of fact. So, I know it can be a bit overwhelming, but I'm here to tell you there's nothing to worry about. Uh, you'll do fine. So, let's just focus on getting you through your first week. Okay? Uh, let's see, first there's an introductory greeting from the company that I'm supposed to read. Uh, it's kind of a legal thing, you know. Um, "Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. A magical place for kids and grown-ups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person. Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced." Blah blah blah, now that might sound bad, I know, but there's really nothing to worry about. Uh, the animatronic characters here do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No. If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath? I'd probably be a bit irritable at night too. So, remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect, right? Okay. So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit. Uh, they're left in some kind of free roaming mode at night. Uh...Something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long. Uh, they used to be allowed to walk around during the day too. But then there was The Bite of '87. Yeah. I-It's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know? Uh, now concerning your safety, the only real risk to you as a night watchman here, if any, is the fact that these characters, uh, if they happen to see you after hours probably won't recognize you as a person. They'll p-most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on. Now since that's against the rules here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, they'll probably try to...forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit. Um, now, that wouldn't be so bad if the suits themselves weren't filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices, especially around the facial area. So, you could imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort...and death. Uh, the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask, heh. Y-Yeah, they don't tell you these things when you sign up. But hey, first day should be a breeze. I'll chat with you tomorrow. Uh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary. Gotta conserve power. Alright, good night."

This is actually so cool, i love how when finney is fighting back, each tip recalls back to the kids' tips.
