2025-11-26 22:06:46 +0000 UTCGaah this was so good! My friend kept pestering me to watch it. I'm so glad I did. I'm glad I watched it my Petty Pumpkins. Oh and I'm way behind so I'm still celebrating Halloween rn.

2025-09-27 17:41:49 +0000 UTCHave you ever seen daybreakers with Ethan hawk? I actually just had a son and named him Ethan... I think subconsciously because I grew up watching his movies and I've always adored him... So this movie was crazy for me to watch happy to watch it with you, and see how you react to it

2025-09-20 14:08:27 +0000 UTCThe movie they’re watching is The Tingler (1959) Fun fact- Theaters rigged some theatre seats with buzzers during its release so that audiences would feel the tingler during the scares

2025-09-18 19:21:55 +0000 UTCAn awesome movie starring Ethan Hawke is Gattica, you guys should totally watch and react to it! Uma Thurman is in it too

2025-09-18 13:06:08 +0000 UTCExplorers for an Ethan Hawke movie. I loved this watch along. I was a young kid in the 70’s/early 80’s. Things were just rougher then, especially in a rougher side of town. Adults didn’t get involved in bullying and kids weren’t as aware of serial killer habits.

2025-09-17 01:04:26 +0000 UTCUnderstandable, but that made it feel more real to me. We don’t often get a lot of this information and when we do it’s limited to what they want to give.

2025-09-16 22:28:26 +0000 UTCEthan hawke is great in The Purge and Sinister also

2025-09-15 17:06:36 +0000 UTCI really wanted to like this movie, because I love the idea. I feel like the grabber was so shallow as a character and we don't get any information about his motivations

2025-09-15 10:41:45 +0000 UTCTwo of my all time favorite Ethan Hawke films are Training Day and Daybreakers, if you haven't seen those you guy's need to.

2025-09-15 04:31:21 +0000 UTCI didn't like this film, also I don't like watching movies with y'all that you've already seen it's just not the same as watching a movie none of us have seen. I wasn't a fan of the kid actor, aside from the crying scene I just didn't really see any emotion I didn't think he's a good actor. It was difficult to see Gwen get beat by the father that was really tough plus im very protective of anything that has to do with kids so yeah I was not a fan of this movie at all.

2025-09-15 03:42:28 +0000 UTCSuch a good movie, but it definitely sits heavy on you 🥺😩 So glad it ended the way it did also. Loved watching with you both. You asked for other Ethan Hawke movies that showed him in a better light… some of my all time fav romance movies is the Before Sunrise Trilogy with him and Julie Delpy. Such a beautiful story if you ever have time to watch! ☀️ Oh!- also, the POS dad in this one is also in another iconic series- LOST! 🏝️

2025-09-15 03:11:40 +0000 UTCThe movie Finn was watching with the blood in the tub was called THE TINGLER (1959)

2025-09-15 02:33:58 +0000 UTCi always have to skip the scene where the dad is beating his daughter. Ugh it's triggering
Whitney Miller
2025-09-15 02:10:13 +0000 UTCDid you notice that the actor- Jeremy Davies- that played the POS dad in this also appeared in Hannibal? He played Peter; of the infamous line "Is your social worker in that horse?" 😂 Totally different characters, really talented actor.

2025-09-15 00:20:56 +0000 UTCThank you for reacting to this, it's a personal favourite. I'll be adding it to my petty pumpkin playlist on YouTube. I'm kind of concerned that part 2 will lose what makes this movie so special but it's not going to stop me buying it and then racing back over here for your reaction.
Rebecca Stone
2025-09-14 23:41:29 +0000 UTCI saw too much too, it's good to show that kids in the 70s and 80s were just not safe at home, at school and generally anywhere else. We all worked hard to protect our children and we were called helicopter parents for it.
Rebecca Stone
2025-09-14 23:30:46 +0000 UTCI’m looking forward to the sequel! Jeremy Davies, the actor who played the dad, has been in a lot of things. I loved him in “It’s Kind of a Funny Story”. He played a much better person in that movie.

2025-09-14 23:14:24 +0000 UTCas a person who was aggressively spanked as a child….i do have to skip that scene it’s too real

2025-09-14 20:47:52 +0000 UTCthis movie is SO good! i love Ethan Hawke, and the children are amazing!! this was before i even knew who Mason Thames was and then he just popped up in How To Train Your Dragon. i’m excited for the second one!!
mentallyunw3ll
2025-09-14 20:47:23 +0000 UTCThese children are absolutely amazing!! What a great movie! I wanted to kick the shit out of the dad!! Sadly enough I grew up in the days where beating your children was accepted as punishment! I never even thought of spanking my children because of that!!
Marlaina Lindsey
2025-09-14 19:20:37 +0000 UTCI don’t find it scary but I find it unnerving. He takes children, the atmospheric feel, the darkness of it. It’s unsettling.
Chrissy
2025-09-14 18:57:18 +0000 UTCThe girl who plays his sister, is fantastic. The way that every kid before helped him with what they started to help him escape, great, great plot. Love this movie
Chrissy
2025-09-14 18:27:46 +0000 UTCI LITERALLY just thought yesterday I wanna see u guys react to this! Manifesting works✨✨
Miriam A
2025-09-14 18:24:55 +0000 UTCWe enjoyed it in theaters so much! But then we felt guilty like we should have reacted to it for our pumpkins, so we told ourselves if they ever made another one we'd react, so we'll be reacting to The Black Phone 2! So exciting you'll get to experience it at the theater and then again with us!! 📞 😱🖤
Petty Pumpkins
2025-09-14 18:21:01 +0000 UTCI'm glad this popped up because I need to watch this again. Because the one time I watched it, I wasn't scared, like, AT ALL! But it's SO POPULAR, maybe I missed something or just didn't connect with it.
Violet
2025-09-14 17:36:27 +0000 UTCThis is a movie I wish I could have seen in theater cause it was so good and I'm going to go see black phone 2 in theaters next month 😀
