In 1978 Smalltown USA, a sinister van is driving around grabbing kids.
Billed as a horror thriller, THE BLACK PHONE is from a short story by
Stephen King offspring, Joe Hill ...and King's legacy seems to infuse
every element of it. Most notably, those looking for R-rated horror may
find this more of a fairy tale with F-bombs. Mildly recommended.

Is it safe to assume it isn't the van itself that is grabbing kids, or
in true Stephen King fashion, is it an animated van with animus?

If the van were sentient, the story would have its name.

Now the attention turns to the titular phone, which must be bad
otherwise it would be white.

Not bad, luminance-challenged.

Nope. It would be fascist.
