Finney Blake, a shy but clever 13-year-old boy, is abducted by a sadistic killer and trapped in a soundproof basement where screaming is of little use. When a disconnected phone on the wall begins to ring, Finney discovers that he can hear the voices of the killer’s previous victims. And they are dead set on making sure that what happened to them doesn’t happen to Finney.
A slow tightening of the chest set in a sun-faded 1970s suburbia where menace hides in plain daylight. The terror is intimate and airless — a child alone in a concrete room, a dead line ringing. Ethan Hawke turns cordiality into something obscene, and the dread never fully releases its grip.
