Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
确实是精彩，要是能交代一下片中超能力的设定由来，和对变态的背景，杀人动机做一个补充的话就好了，有点失望和可惜了
结局有点出乎意料，让脑洞大开的我略诧异，男主难道不是应该死在了另外一个平行时空里才更有意思吗？😂
最恐怖的就是妹妹这个角色！你会惊奇的发现把这个角色的所有戏份全部删掉对整个故事包括结局没有任何影响！！简直恐怖到爆！那为什么要加这个角色？哦原来是导演想告诉我们青少年成长过程中会遇到一些父母不理解的问题然后我们要自立之类的这些东西。
Boys help boys. 流水账电影。基本没啥细节，反派背景都没交代清楚。
这算正能量恐怖片吧
害 感觉Scott导做新尝试了 但还是好失望 还不如险恶来得简单直接
所以黑色电话的由头是。最后的反杀确实很过瘾精彩，能反杀，是所有死去的人的尝试合集，试出来的一条路。还有，没有说为何这样做。
几位小朋友的演技真的很不错，Ethan基本打酱油。剧情就有点迷离和割裂
复古的风格，淡淡的惊悚，前面的铺垫在结尾一气呵成。
结局有点出乎意料，让脑洞大开的我略诧异，男主难道不是应该死在了另外一个平行时空里才更有意思吗？😂
本来还以为死去的5个冤魂会在结尾现身报仇，事实证明是我想多了。The Grabber的身世从头到尾都没有交代，有点云里雾里。
好看诶好看诶，最后好爽。更偏惊悚吧，但是jump scare我还是心脏疼。bug其实不少。
另一部80年代风小镇青少年恐怖片，虽然这次走密室逃生路线，但贯彻始终的主题还是巨大压力下的心灵成长。反派稀松平常，灵异元素也就是随便写出来，既缺乏挖掘也不能自圆其说，只剩下了一种着急扣题的交作业感。
The phone is as a medium again keeping in touch with another world
鬼魂设定蛮好的，但是反派的动机也没有，面具掉了就0战斗力，太瞎了
一个小孩团结大人失语的故事。妹妹太可爱了！
美国一处小镇，小男孩接二连三失踪。一天，小男主被绑，被困在地下室的小男主通过一部黑色电话与遇害男孩们魂魄进行沟通，在他们的帮助下成功反击杀死了变态绑架者。开片建置部分节奏略显缓慢，反派更像是摆设并没有太出彩，主要还是表现电话沟通灵魂的设定上。
编剧估计是看《鬼妈妈》里那段找的灵感吧，逝去的亡魂合力帮助主角，听起来确实还不错，但能稍微用点心吗？你以为拍小鬼当家啊？伊桑霍克就硬在楼上睡着等男主挖陷阱neng死他是吧？
最后一段走上中学人生巅峰的剧情有点起点了，前面都可圈可点，偶尔响起的不知道应该期待还是恐惧的电话铃声让人神经一直紧绷，几个少年的突然出现也很有恐怖氛围，整体的紧张感比小丑回魂高了好几个档次，可能漂亮国人看小丑天然带debuff吧，那片子真的一点也不惊悚。再一次被伊桑霍克的表现惊艳，他对声线语调的把握真的堪称精妙。
看着猎物绝望逃亡的尝试，作俑者自身升腾起掌控的愉悦，正因为现实的虚弱，才得以“面具”遮蔽自身，以遮蔽带来罪恶的勇气。面具自身便有这样的作用。
