I've read a lot of reviews from people stating that The Black Phone was not a horror movie. I thought about this for a while and in my own opinion, The Black Phone fit the horror genre.
Ethan Hawke, as the Grabber, made me feel instantly uncomfortable every time he appeared on-screen. I was on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what he was going to do next.
I would recommend The Black Phone to anyone who likes a thriller that makes you cringe with anticipation for the next scene. If you are looking for a jump scare movie, this isn't it. But, if you like a movie that will creep you out for hours, maybe days after, go see it. For me, that's what made this movie a horror film. I left the theater and kept thinking 'That,was creepy AF!" and replayed some of the parts in my head long after I got back home.
I also liked that the reason why Finney is able to 'use' the Black Phone wasn't outright explained, but there's enough background for you to figure that out. After the film I had a good time with my husband and son discussing that part of it.
The ONLY thing I would have enjoyed more in this movie, would have been some background on The Grabber. What was his motive, if any? Or was he just that much of a psycho?
I don't believe that The Black Phone will be as enjoyable watching on a regular home screen, I think the best effect will be for those seeing it in the theater on a big screen.

If you're expecting a Ghost Story akin to "Paranormal Activity", then this is not the movie for you. This is not a horror story, this is a Ghost Story.
The Haunting of Bly Manor is true to its title, it is a Haunting tale. You will love this film if you watch it from beginning to end all at once, in a dark room. Embrace the atmosphere of the story, and watch it uninterrupted.
I don't want to go into details of the series because there is sooo much to tell and these things are best left for the view to discover.
People that like a tale to be told, flat out and quickly won't enjoy it. But, if you allow yourself to just relax and sink into the depths of the atmosphere laid out before you, I think you'll come to love this as much as I did.
This is a Gothic romance. There is the ominous sense of dread, passion, emotion, fear, and doom.
The last two episodes really did me in. By the end I was in tears and as I stopped to reflect about what I'd just watch, I was reminded of this ...."Every love story is a ghost story" And it's fitting here.
If you're not looking for a jump-scare, blood, gore, down-right horror-filled show, then give this one a go. You may love it too.

A fresh take on Vampires vs. Humans war.
Let me start by saying that I am not sure why it got so many low reviews to be honest. I didn't know what to expect when I started watching and I was not a huge fan of Ian Somerhalder. But I really enjoyed him in this series.
For me, the series had everything I like : Vampires/virus born, horror, creep factor, entertainment value, and good acting. Of course there are flaws, and some cliches , but for me it didn't ruin the show.
For a Netflix series I think this is a job well-done. I can't wait for the next season. Oh by the way....CLIFFHANGER!! OMG!
Now watch it!!
