Review: File “The Black Phone” under ghost stories, but not the kind you might expect.

The bad guy here is known simply as the Grabber, a child-snatching psychopath of the sort found in urban legend and, unfortunately, on the front pages of newspapers. He drives a black van filled with black balloons, calls himself a part-time magician and entices young boys into chatting with him on the sidewalk with the offer of a magic trick — before knocking them out with some sort of aerosol spray and spiriting them away. As the movie gets underway, he’s been in business for a while.

But the real magic trick is what Derrickson does with the source material. “The Black Phone” — which centers on the Grabber’s latest victim, middle-schooler Finney Blake , and his efforts to escape — makes us believe in the inexplicable.
