"The Black Phone" - The Ghost Story Cloaked In A Slasher Film
This is a movie that combines a ghost story, revenge tale, and serial killer obsession into a cinematic experience that uses your fears against you.

On the night of Lucia's kidnapping, the Unnamed revisits his life. Many years earlier a caravan of Andalusian gypsies arrived at the gates of Milan. Among these were Esteban with his mother, his fiancée Maria Dolores, and the latter's sister, Carmencita who, in love with Esteban, resorts to every means to hinder the wedding. In a scuffle she caused, her sister was killed by thugs. The gypsies' wagons are destroyed and the few survivors, including Esteban and his mother, are forced to flee. Carmencita becomes the governor's wife and Esteban a bandit who steals Spanish wheat and gold to give to the people. On Carmencita's whim, Esteban's mother, arrested and accused of witchcraft, dies. Esteban continues his life as a bandit and becomes the terrible Unnamed, who will finally reach his conversion thanks to Lucia and Cardinal Federico.

Its predictability shouldn’t distract from the enjoyment that the pure cinematic imagination behind the camera elicits. It is a movie of crises both moral and mortal, oozing with CGI, and thoroughly enjoyable.
