A/N: It actually wasn't a bad movie. Horror flicks in general get a thumbs down before they are even given a chance play morbid tricks on the mind. I'm happy to report that this one turned the thumbs up! Not much gore at all and keeps you guessing. I won't spoil you with spoilers but if you find yourself missing all the fun of Halloween, Check it out!

Written for the Mathew Fromm Senryu Critique challenge. Details below.

    You've almost convinced me to watch a horror movie (me, a horror-phobe!) The concept is intriguing and the poem supports plenty of testimonials from adherents that unequivocally concur 😁

    I saw this show and was truly surprised at the actual depth mixed in with the horror. I saw a detective show (watch many and they jumble together) that was similar to this serial killer.

    It's a movie? Never heard of it, but will check it out. Weed, haha.

    Black Phone was SO good! I am a horror movie addict- but find myself un-impressed with most as of late- specifically remakes. I know Black Phone isn't brand new- but it is really really good for a more current film!

    I haven't watched many movies lately. I'll check it out.

  • Good one Lamar. I've gotta check this film out. Sounds interesting.

  • I enjoyed this movie a lot! Definitely worth the watch! Loved your subtitle and Senryu!

    A horror with a thumb up? Interesting.

    I didn’t like it much like a two stars out of five. It felt like a short movie so I didn’t get my money’s worth in the theatre! 😁

  • We liked it, too. Never see the star's face!

    Can't say much. I haven't seen it. I love your creative subtitle.
