The Black Phone by Scott Derrickson

The black phone is the latest film from scott derrickson, a returning to the horror gombre after making doctor strange and exiting doctor strange in the multi verse of madness.

It doesn't shy away from the darkness o its premise, but also has a lot of warmth to it.
