The Black Phone
A teen haunted by bullying must outwit a relentless child abductor who has kidnapped his best friend and himself, while his psychic sister’s visions become the only clue that could stop the killer before more lives are taken.
“Never talk to strangers.”
Synopsis
Finney Blake is a 13-year-old boy who is abducted by a sadistic killer and locked in a soundproof basement, where his screams go unheard. While trapped, he finds a disconnected phone on the wall that begins to ring, allowing him to hear the voices of the killer’s previous victims. These voices are determined to prevent Finney from suffering the same fate they did.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
