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.

Ethan Hawke in it and that should be the initial strike against it, but unfortunately it isn't the only one.
The plot is basically, Ethan comes into the room with the kidnapped boy and gets owned by him. Then he comes in again, and gets owned again, then he comes in again, and gets owned again.
The police blindly follow the leads of a 10 year old psychic girl who is, in this universe, a credible and reliable witness.
Ethan walks into the room and gets owned again.
The boy talks to the ghost of Ethan's former kills on the phone, the ones who were not able to continually own him with ease every time he opens the door.
Ethan walks into the room and gets owned again.
And then everyone praises the movie as the greatest thing that was ever made, which is pretty much proof Hollywood is in a creative deficit

The Black Phone successfully adapts Joe Hill’s short story into a suspenseful film filled with eerie atmosphere and emotional depth. With strong direction, solid performances, and effective 1970s aesthetics, it delivers tension and mystery through a supernatural lens. While some backstories remain vague, the film still leaves a lasting impact and is worth revisiting.
