لمحة عن هذا الفيلم

Oscar® nominee Ethan Hawke, in the most disturbing role of his career, stars in a new psychological thriller from Blumhouse and the director who brought you Sinister and Doctor Strange. Finney Shaw, a shy but clever 13-year-old boy, is abducted by a sadistic killer (Hawke) 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.

The opening sequences are the most terrifying moments of the film. The most horrific scene of the film is the headline on the newspaper their child beating Father reads. Story is mixed between copies of The Room, with muddled dialogue. A scene where a dead boy teaches the captured kid to hit with a telephone would be funny if it weren't treated so serious, it becomes ridiculous. Wes Craven and John Carpenter are to be commended for the copied music, and same scene, different movie.

Rented solely because it was recommended to me. It was a waste of my time. There was no explanation given for the most important events--even though an explanation was promised by the protagonist early in the film. Not gripping, not scary. Wasn't expecting a good film--because Blumhouse--so at least it met my expectations.

Beautiful story line and performances. I did enjoy every bit of this. Has some eye teary part and some courageous moments. Did a good job of putting you in the kid shoes and fearing for them... You really get attached to the characters and it does make the movie a worthy watch.
