Comment on Movies characters always make it through the craziest plot and somehow not get forever traumatized by it. I wish I could be like that, but instead I stuggle to even make/keep therapy appointments.

I just watched The Black Phone last night. Spoiler:

The climax involves the child protagonist killing the villain. When he returns to school, all the kids whisper around him about how badass he is, then he goes to his class, sits next to the girl he has a crush on, and confidently tells her to call him “Finn” instead of “Finny” because he’s personally grown so much from being locked up in a dungeon and haunted by the dead kids who came before him.

He’s shown to be traumatized by it in the sequel, although it’s not very good.

  I did read the synopsis of it and thought it sounded like an interesting take. I’m not sure I liked the movie enough to bother with the sequel though. As an ending to its own contained story, it felt really tone-deaf.

    I wouldn’t recommend it. It goes into Nightmare on Elm Street style supernatural territory, which is fine for that series but tonally clashes with the first one.
