What is your favorite horror movie which has come out this year(2022)? The Black Phone is definitely one of the best!

[@vivacious_me]

Black phone for sure! The plot was a breath of fresh air and the kids (Gwendoline especially) acted their SOCKS OFF. Also I don't think Ethan Hawke will not sound like the grabber to me moving forward for a hot minute because that voice is too unique 😅 He's on fire lately, though!

[@skaicash69]

This movie for sure!

[@marielaoquendorodriguez670]

Black Phone and Barbarian

[@matt-oo6fu]

Smile is my favorite that i've seen so far. The Black Phone is great too, but I'm really starting to get tired of this trend that every movie in every genre HAS to have all these catchy quips and comic relief and plucky characters. It feels like Marvel is just infecting the entire film industry. It's actually refreshing to have something that's serious and bleak nearly 100% of the way through.

[@reielric6246]

Yup. Winner. This I didn't even know was a King movie, I don't normally look at directors; but this movie was friggin awesome.

[@maxwellgrimsley]

The actor that plays Gwen is SO exceptional. Her performance is better than most adults I’ve seen. She deserves an award I swear-

[@michelle6337]

And she's the older sister of young Nell in Haunting of Hill House. The acting genes are strong in that family!

[@tawneerei4527]

I agree 👏🏻👌🏻 amazing

[@J1ntu]

@@michelle6337 OMG I knew she looked familiar

[@aes2402]

The actor is Madeline mcgraw

[@rydellgarcia]

I had a crush on her instantly. *not in a creepy way** lol.

[@sandydog426]

All the kids in this movie deserve awards, idk where they found them, but you know the acting and writing is good when you feel so deeply for characters like Robin despite him having very little actual screen time. I don't necessarily think this movie should be called a "horror" but it's a fantastic thriller. Hawke did wonderfully as the Grabber, and I loved the way the movie was shot, filmed, etc.

[@cflournoy1529]

Exactly!!! As soon as they showed Robin’s and Finn’s relationship I was praying nothing happed to Robin. You cared about him immediately.

[@sandydog426]

@@cflournoy1529 I know!! I was so heartbroken about Robin; they did a great job of giving us a good overview of their relationship and making us get attached in such little time. But I do think Robin's death was symbolically necessary. I think it represented the death of the innocent part of Finn's childhood, but also forced him to stand up for himself because Robin literally can't anymore.

[@SnailHatan]

That’s because you don’t understand what horror is.

[@RedBlitzen]

Minor spoilers; Under another reaction video I found this thought. Gwen's job wasn't to find Finney. It was to find the bodies of the victims. It was Finney's job to ensure he was the last one.

[@jaimefierro9222]

This is such a underrated comment

[@Belladonna313]

Ur the first reactors to realise finney was psychic also. He just has visions different to his sister, which is why he was able to talk to the grabbers victims. Great reaction 😊

[@whitenoisereacts]

Yeah! That seemed obvious to me anyway

[@nadiameyers2162]

Absolutely spot on!!!they both were empaths ...one with clairvoyance the other with Claireaudience

@@whitenoisereacts The mother had the power to see dead people and talk to them. Her powers drove her to kxll herself. The father been depressed and fear Gwen may make the same hence why he try to abxse her out to. Anyways, the mother's power separated to her children- Fin and Gwen with Gwen having visions/seeing dead people and Fin talking to them

[@ScorpionStrike7]

I love that Finn uses everything the kids taught him to take down and escape The Grabber. I also think it’s cool that the mask has different parts.

[@shaniquestewart4219]

I love the depth they gave the father with such little screen time. The few scenes he had you could tell he was a complicated onion and probably wasn't always that way but became that way after his wife's suicide. Also Finn's arm is mint *neck snap* gave me so much life, lool. The order of kid's on the phone there was perfection. Lastly, did anyone notice the way Finn killed the Grabber was the same position Robin had Moose in during their fight. The only difference is Finn was sitting instead of standing.

[@samanthanickson6478]

i didn’t realize that! thanks for pointing that out!

[@matt-oo6fu]

that actor has a fantastic range too. The only other thing i've seen him in was Hannibal, but the two characters are MILES apart. (he plays a very timid and kind mentally disabled man in Hannibal)

[@tawneerei4527]

No way! Thank you for pointing that out I didn’t notice that 👏🏻👌🏻

[@CrownlessKing88]

Sorry if you figured this out by now already, but it’s actually based on a Joe Hill short story, who happens to be…Stephen King’s son! 😊

[@whitenoisereacts]

Ooops

[@CrownlessKing88]

@@whitenoisereacts eh no biggie! You were close, and you can really tell he’s his son with his material.

[@Mangolite]

Joe Hill took after his father, Richard Bachman, and their materials have a lot of similarities. I love their tribute to It with Gwen in the Yellow Georgie raincoat. Also, they filmed this in my home state of NC, lol 😂

[@subtlesraf]

I was losing my mind this whole reaction because definitely gotta confirm the writers etc at least before filming and posting something. bc a big reason the author changed his last name was to get some distance from stephen king and not be mentioned in the same sentence as him all the time, to gain merit on his own. so I hope he never sees this tbh lmao, this is pretty harsh

[@SnailHatan]

@@subtlesrafThere’s nothing harsh about it. This movie is very, very Stephen King, regardless of what the book is like.

[@bel410la]

This movie is so good, I think one of the best parts is how smart Finn is, actually all the kids, Finn's first thought upon waking up after being kidnapped was to stay calm and find a way out, he only let himself feel it when he thought he was out of options. And not only did he use EVERYTHING the other kids showed him, but ended up killing him too. Also the best scene is when he snaps the neck and Bruce goes, "Finn's arm is Mint." Then he dies. XD I like to imagine all the other kids were standing there watching Finn beat up the grabber and cheering him on, we just couldn't see them.

[@pamelalejeune2424]

So my mom had a really good theory about the mother in the movie she said that the mom, while also having the same gift as the daughter, might have also had schizophrenia that's why they said the voices made her do bad things.

[@michelle6337]

I think what makes this movie so great is the subtleties in the writing. It doesn't feel like it's shoving information down your throat to ensure you understand the subtext. Like they never explicitly say that Finn also has a gift like his mom which is why he can see the dead kids, except for a quick throwaway line by Bruce about how "it rang but we couldn't hear it" and the dad's "Same goes for you" after the belt scene. And the reason Gwen only saw the house where the bodies were buried was because she was able to connect to the dead kids too. And I really liked that none of the dead kids motivations (with maybe the exception of Robin) was to save Finn, but instead to make sure the Grabber was caught. I just felt like that was a more believable motivation than benevolent dead teenagers. And none of the kids escape routes worked solo until Finn put them all together. Also, the nods throughout the movie to different serial killers (Jeffrey Dahmer had a victim escape, Ted Bundy used ruses to lure victims, John Wayne Gacy literally dressed up like a clown and murdered young boys, even the dog Samson could be a reference to the Son of Sam killer).

[@JennyAnn]

Even one of the victims, Billy the Paperboy, was likely a nod to an actual missing person's case: Johnny Gosch was a paperboy who went missing while on his route with his dog, and though his dog was found, his disappearance was never solved.

[@michelle6337]

@@JennyAnn Ooh I didn't know that one!

[@Multiiverseditz]

The kid actors did such a phenomenal job in this movie the whole cast did especially Ethan Hawke they all deserve an Oscar!

[@janhavi1977]

Loved this movie! Finn was such an amazing main character! Most horror movies have moronic protagonists, but this kid was so resourceful and became an absolute little badass! His development was honestly incredible. New favorite of mine for sure!

[@farahiccol3424]

When Finney kills The Grabber he use the same method Robin used when he was beating the bully in the schoolyard. And in the movie this makes you think that Finney learned that after watching his friend doing it. Now, in the short story Robin doesn't exist, but here how the scene is written: "He sat up, meant to club Albert with the receiver again, *but then his hands did something else instead* . He put the wire around the fat man's throat and pulled tight, crossing his wrists behind Al's neck." Almost like Finney didnt expect himself to choke The Grabber the way he did, and this made me think of another possibility regarding the movie. You can see that some of the ghosts are capable of moving things like the water bottle on the ground, so what if when Finney took the phone it was actually Robin's hands that took control of Finney's and wrap the wire around him both choking The Grabber to death?

[@silverdoeGirl]

On a side note? Ethan Hawke was in Sinister and Max, the coked up brother of ''The grabber?''' He's the young cop in Sinister as well.

[@kylesmyle4233]

He also played the older version of Eddie in It Chapter Two.

[@ImDalooney]

This was written by Stephen Kings son I believe, but they do have similar writing styles and also write together sometimes.

[@ImDalooney]

Idk if anyone has said this before but I'm pretty sure the kids have something similar to if not the same thing as the "Shine" with the kids in Stephen Kings story's. Like the kids in IT, The Dark Tower, etc.

[@merrenrose]

I watched this movie when it came out in cinema for my dads birthday and I’ve loved it ever since. All the kids acting was beyond fantastic and made me very emotional. I really hope you guys liked it a lot. I’ve been secretly hoping you’d watch it and here we are!! ☺️

[@JoseGarcia-vd5td]

The Black Phone does deserve an Oscar win for the children and Ethan Hawke

[@sheeps1495]

This movie was so enjoyable and made well. You’re right, the kid actors especially Gwen and Finn, we’re played brilliantly. Very dark concepts throughout the movie which are real. For me the best horror movie this year is ‘The Invitation’. The actor that played the grabber’s brother was also in the ‘Sinister’ movie. He played the police officer helping Ethan Hawke with research. Thank you again! Enjoyed this with you ! 😊

[@katwebbxo]

Great movie. The kids were all amazing actors and it was interesting to see Ethan Hawke in this kind of role. Idk if you guys have seen The Lovely Bones but this movie reminded me of it in a way. Especially with the supernatural elements. 🖤

[@katwebbxo]

@Big Daddy Right. I think I first saw him in Gattaca when we had to watch it in high school. It's cool to see him try something different.

[@tawneerei4527]

I can see that although the Lovely Bones to me had a more sad and family oriented feel while this one in my opinion holds more rewatch feels that’s just my take but both were done well

[@katwebbxo]

@@tawneerei4527 Oh I definitely agree. Both deal with dark topics but The Lovely Bones brings up those emotions more while The Black Phone has you on edge because you don't know the "outcome." Although both have similar moments.

[@tawneerei4527]

[@erynreagan7747]

The part with the sister getting hit with the belt really got to me in theaters, I got choked up. That girl is amazing for a young actress, damn

[@joshfacio9379]

me too, except it brought back bad memories of my family where beatings were a regular thing, my parents had 5 holes drilled in their paddle, 1 for each of us. said it gave it less wind resistance, lining up 1 after another.. i was a kid in the mid 80s when it was a-ok to beat your kids, just remember to wear long sleeve shirts n no shorts, and remember, you were clumsy and fell. one thing i identified with is the fact that no matter how many or hard your beaten, you still love them. so to me this movie was a little close to home as my little sister was abducted, this was during times when people were realizing anyone could be a child killer. the local news, sheriff etc came out and it was so awful, but luckily she was let go the next day. she said they just pushed her out of their car. she was like 5 and i was 9. cops had no clue. then all the local kids were fingerprinted and i was told later it was to make identifying remains easier. i dearly love my sis, and were very close, she can be a handful, very headstrong (like gwen) its a lil joke between us that they didnt know what they were in for when they took her and just wanted her away from them, lol. i love you bre.

right. and they both were able to see the dead, finney when he saw the kid floating on his back, and gwen on her bike being shown the address. this movie is beyond awesome, joe hill is fast becoming my fav writers, N0S482 was good too.

[@whitenoisereacts]

Yeah! Overall, just a great film

[@PixieLovesItAll]

The movie at 10:42 is The Tingler (1959) starring Vincent Price, it's an iconic "schlocky" B horror movie by William Castle, who also directed the originals of "Thirteen Ghosts", "House on Haunted Hill", and "The Old Dark House". He created and/or solidified A LOT of horror tropes that are still absolutely everywhere in film.

[@librarylynx650]

Just watched this recently its the kind of horror that is twice as horrific because it actually happens in reality which is messed up but the kids in that movie did an amazing job acting

[@whitenoisereacts]

Yeah for sure

[@brandiarmstrong2902]

12:49 That's *exactly* what happened. Gwen's mom was psychic, too. But she committed suicide because she thought she was crazy. The voices drove her to suicide, so when Gwen started dreaming things like that, her dad was determined not to let his daughter suffer the same fate, even if he had to beat her to make her stop dreaming.

[@LaMonicaWilliams]

This is a great movie . I love the different masks . The grabber reveals himself with each . Both kids inherited some aspect of their mother’s gift . The sister ‘s dreams… and his contact with the dead kids. This is a great film and I consider a “New Classic”.

[@shannyd1]

This movie creeped me out bigtime and made me so scared the whole time. Especially being a mother. Also it's not confirmed why the Grabber is broken. Whether it was due to his own child abuse OR if he had a normal childhood & still ended up broken (Which is even scarier, when you think about it). It's not confirmed because like Ethan Hawke said himself, "because it doesn't matter why he's broken, what matters is he IS broken." The movie shows the Grabber was a sick paedophile that murders his victims after they play his "naughty boy" game. They made a few subtle signs to show what he was, hence why he was shirtless, & why one victim mentions the grabbers "favourite" part of naughty boy etc. Also noticed that the Grabber did, in fact pick certain types of kids. The Grabber only picks boys and notice how they all have long hair, that he can play with.😖

[@Synapse928]

This movie stuck with me for days. So good. Great acting. Great set up. Fantastic payoff. Rewatching it with the watch along here and it brought it all back for me.

As someone who is almost the exact same age as the kids (slightly closer to Gwen than Finney) you have no idea how accurate this movie is to the time. Even the stuff you questioned… like would the town be so naive. The answer is “yes”, absolutely. I don’t know who’s responsible for it… King, the screenplay writer, the director, I don’t know. But this is one of the best movies ever as far as the “background”, which for those of us who know what it should be like, is extremely effective for drawing us in. It makes it so realistic. It’s an incredible movie.

[@Multiiverseditz]

I’ve been waiting for this reaction and I absolutely love your reaction! I love this movie so much, I’ve seen 5 times in theaters and 30 or so times overall.

i had never actually watched this, I’m glad I watched it from your reaction lol now I will watch it like it deserves. it was so good!

[@rgg6383]

Not sure if I misunderstood you but this wasn't based a short story written by Stephen King. This was written by his son, Joe Hill. You can clearly see his style is super similar to his dad's and while I was watching it in the movie theater it screamed "STEPHEN KING!" to me and I was confused when I saw Joe Hill but then it makes sense when I realized it was his son. And for how accurate is to the book, it's pretty spot on but they add the visions from her sister (once you think about it they really don't add anything to the movie besides the family drama haha, Finn would have still escaped), Ethan Hawke's is supposed to be a big fat man, the story ends with Finn putting the phone on the grabber's ear and I don't remember if the brother is there but overall almost every line is direct from the book. All the additions they made well pretty well done to make the story longer and still made the short story justice

[@mclizzard2928]

So, there are a few really stellar King novel adaptations, but most of thr amazing King movies are based on his short stories, simply because it's nearly impossible to include the world and character building and internal monologues that are his trademark. He's had some dud books, for sure, but who wouldn't after 50 years of writing? So, basically, don't judge his books (novels) by their movies. 😊

[@turgid_member8717]

The black and white movie with the bathtub full of blood is 1959's The Tingler, and oh boy do I recommend that hidden gem

[@farahiccol3424]

Did someone think the grabber might have multi-personality disorder? Notices how his voice pitch changes and how he contradicts himself, first saying that he should kill the kid because he scratched him, then he says to him that he would never do something he wouldn't like, despite already have done it when he took him against his will. Gwen's father said that her mother had the same abilities as her, but instead of gwen, at some point she started to hearing things and said they were voices telling her to do stuff, so many people think the grabber also somehow possesses similar power to gwen and finney, but he probably ended up like gwen's mother. From what psychiatrists said, the multi-personality disorder comes from child abuse, and we are not talking about just hitting a child sometimes, but they said actually real physical torture. And the grabber says that he had been there in that room when the black phone stopped working. My theory is that he was probably held captive in that basement by his parents (the basement maybe at that time it was just another room in the house) and keep being tortured, then the mind to protect himself split and create other personalities. Because the grabber says that he could hear the phone ringing but he was unable to hear anybody from the other side, I believe those voices people talking about were just the other personalities (and not the consequence of a supernatural power), talking to him, and maybe one of them, a vengeful and angry personality, is the one that convinced him to kidnap other children and hurt them recreating some parts of what his parents did to him, including the "naughty boy" game. Another proof is just after the kidnapping when he calls finney "johnny" in a mocking tone, so the grabber already knows finney's full name is john finney. But in the other scene when he bring him breakfast the grabber looks completely unsure and ask what his name is, throws the newspaper at him making him understand that he just read his name and in a very angry tone he calls him "finney", he doesn't use his first name anymore.

I got soo sucked into this movie and loved it! It was done sooo well especially the phone call towards the end for the killer that just brought it all together and when he came out of the house across the street that surprised me 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 amazing movie and I see it as more of a thriller than a horror movie just with some jump scares

[@MsCCarolinee]

lt'd be nice to further explore the kids' powers in a sequel or spin off. l also want Theodora from Hill House to explore hers too 🙂

[@svnsetsomnia8280]

Yeah but who would the villain be in a sequel lol

[@MsCCarolinee]

@@svnsetsomnia8280 there are always villains if you are creative and have an idea. There can always be ghosts too

[@reielric6246]

Gwen was an all-star, and Finn was amazing, all the actors were and you're right, truly great kid actors are sometimes hard to find. I'm still cringing from No Good Deeds. A great movie, but that little girl kept it from being a rewatch. Her visions were cool, and how she controlled it at the end to find the house, and what an epic sibling relationship. Most little sisters wouldn't go tackling and beating on guys, they'd tell someone or watch shouting. And Ethan Hawke 👏 creepy bastard award right there lol. I love how he went from being nervous about being in Sinister because he didn't want to be scared, or cursed hahaha to starring in a horror as the horror itself. And hey, this is terrifying. I only have my niece but the thought of her being gone makes me coma sick. It's frightening. King, if nothing else towards utterly creeped out can really humanize every aspect. The kids beating on each other, been there, abusive parents wasn't sensationalized, the ghosts were spooky but unlike other helpful ghost movies I've seen I liked it that they weren't "haunts" but "helps". Recommendation: The Haunting in Connecticut 2009 Case 39 2009 The hills have eyes 2006

Fun fact : The dad of Gwen and Finny plays Baldur in God of War.

[@borntogazeintonightskies]

55:05 I was like, "Yeeeeeaaaaahhhhh! My boy's got that confidence now!" 😆😆

[@traydaniel0403]

Maddy McGraw cussing at Jesus caught me off guard

[@XxXDestroyer]

I highly recommend watching Barbarian(2022) when it's available. It's quite unique and really well filmed, it has a lot of style. I loved it!

[@MiaLeyden]

Stephen King's son, Joe Hill, wrote this story and their literary universes are connected through some of their books. The written version is not as clear on this point but you could say Finney shines a little bit and his sister a lot more (not as much as Danny Torrance but still enough). Joe has his own style but his dad's influence is often there.

[@michelleg.9440]

Ethan Hawke was in Sinister

[@lex_lvs_scara]

I had to skip the scene when Finn tried to scape for the first time, it makes me feel awfully anxious 😭

[@maxwellgrimsley]

Yesss I’m so excited for this!!

[@audrinagabaldon3486]

I’M CRYING,THE WHOLE ASS MOVIE MADE ME CRY, I LOVE IT WAY TO MUCH, I WATCHED TBP AT LEAST 2 TIMES EACH DAY SINCE IT CAME OUT IT’S BECOMING A PROBLEM

[@lc8155]

Thanks for the reaction super cool!

[@seaksl1]

"77WaaaAAAhaa!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Mint!

[@PillTruth]

Nice reaction mate.

[@BloodylocksBathory]

This movie was so good. I love how certain details follow through in the story. Like he finds all that meat in the freezer, which he remembers to bring out for the dog to distract it. I think the only thing I don't like is how... optimistic it was between the kids and the father at the end. But all the kids in this movie were great. Normally I get so irritated with kids in movies, but here they were all realistic and well-acted and not self-aware and too smart but also not dumb.

[@patrikkcardona4022]

Love y’all’s reactions to movies. Definitely got a new sub out of me ❤❤🎉🎉 good job guys 🎉🎉

[@borntogazeintonightskies]

11:22 Not gonna lie, I'm pretty unfazed when it comes to most things (horror movies, amusement park rides, nurses sticking needles into my arm when I go the hospital, etc) but that whole entire scene made me very unconfortable. I had to look away a few times. The kids in this movie were PHENOMENAL! Mad props especially to that actress playing the boy's sister. I don't know who she is but she is GOING PLACES!

[@amberaegard]

This might be my favourite horror movie. It's just so good

[@Damiana_Dimock]

The dad, Jeremy Davies, tends to get typecast, (you can see him in episodes of Lost & Hannibal,) but I loved his role in this film because it broke type for him. I recommend checking him out in Million Dollar Hotel (2000) & one of my all-time favorite films Ravenous (1999.)

[@jsapcakrrow]

I watched this movie over the weekend & really liked it. It was better than I thought it was going to be.

[@Jada_-]

YWAaasssas LETSS GOOOOOOOOOOO THIS MOVIE IS SO UNDERRATED

[@rozalynnmccord7308]

The movie is based on a Joe Hill book which is Stephen King’s son. Also the previous movie of Ethan Hawke was Sinister! Love your reactions!

[@brentjuras1492]

Your reaction is mint !

[@mylittlebrony2130]

Nice reaction look forward to seeing your Adam's family 2 reaction Also you guys should watch Legend of the guardians owls of Ga'hoole

[@carolinedoyle7236]

This is actually based on a Joe Hill (Stephen King's son) story. There is a definite similarity between father and sons work though 😀

[@absolutlyrandomn]

this movie gave me the feeling of dread very few movies gave me, and the last I can think of was Get Out, like this helplessness that really only a miracle could give us a good ending

[@AvaLight143]

I just found your channel so far I love your reaction new sub 🎉😊

[@whitenoisereacts]

Thanks :)

[@juliewhiskeyjack4388]

Awwww i missed it. Ill watch the reaction now 😎😎😎👍🤗

[@shercahn]

One of his short stories that always creeped me out was Apt Pupil. I didn't like the ending of the movie but the movie is still worth watching (Stephen King, even though The Black Phone is not his).

[@Myst3ry13]

The black phone does give me chills especially when i look at the grabber but its not as scary as I thought it would be

[@nat634]

i was crying throughout the whole movie it’s so sad

[@mbrgrbr]

Ethan Hawke was in Sinister not Insidious. haha I get those two names mixed up too.

[@00Coyote]

LOL!!! 34:17 ...The hand to the mouth. That is the kind of reaction that I live for! 🤣

[@cicelyb9443]

I am literally begging you to react to the newest planet of the apes series at some point !!! i think you’d very much enjoy (also I love that you’re getting to the black phone - this was one of my favs this year)

[@gailjohnston1248]

I just got the chance to watch your reactions to this one. I been hoping that you would do it! I watched it at h one a couple of months ago and went in pretty blind not knowing much. OMG....it blew me away at how inventive storywise it was. I grew up in the 60's and 70's and it just felt very true to the times in the vibe and look of everything. I was 16 in '78. I personally only had trouble with the scene in the kitchen w/Gwennie. I actually had to pause that moment as it gave me flashbacks to what I went through from my Father at times growing up. I very much knew her deep pain.😢😔 It took me about 10 mins of controlled breathing before I could go back to the rest of the movie. Onward, back in the 70's it was in many ways a much more innocent time, and you rarely heard of Serial killers and pedophiles. There wasn't Amber Alerts back then. The kids in this movie, esp. the actors who played Finn and Gwen were great. Glad y'all liked it so much. And I loved your jump scare there James lol. 👻😁🎥

[@hermionesings]

Yall reacted to The Black Phone and the girls reacted ro M3GAN. It's cool, because Gwen in this movie and Cady in M3GAN are sisters in real life

[@tariqthegamer824]

I really hope there's a sequel to this I don't want them to rush it I wanted to take their time with the sequel

[@shercahn]

The movie that Finn is watching is 1959's The Tingler.

[@traydaniel0403]

I hope Mason and Maddy both do more more in the future

[@michaeljarding1299]

[@michaeljarding1299]

Joe Hillis Stephen king's son.

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

Remember how when the Grabber kidnapped Finney, he said he should snap his neck for injuring his arm? Well, in the end, that's how Finney killed him. Talk about poetic justice.

[@vicegamer6944]

Ethan Hawke as the grabber looks like Kevin Bacon

[@traydaniel0403]

Next Scott should direct and write Black Phone 2 next

[@Preston196]

John Wayne gacy did the exact same thing lol ...

[@o0OMaku]

i think you were thinking of Sinister which was one of Ethan's best horror movies
