This Stephen King adaption is a surprisingly entertaining slow burn. A young boy gives an old man a phone and somehow they made a horror film out of it.
It’s not the greatest thing to ever sit through, but it’s worth sitting through.
It has an interesting story to tell but is a bit longer than needed to be. I was very patient being that it was very slow to build up to an mediocre climax. I wish it had more horror to it, but it delivered.

RATING: 2.3 out of 4

Good Qualities: It’s an interesting story, Donald Sutherland and the older boy actor are very well played, it has plenty of strong characters and it feels like Stephen King wrote it

Bad Qualities: It got interesting too late, at many moments it went from exciting to bland and it could have been more of a scary movie than it was
