It's just honestly sad that the dead kids weren't doing it on purpose to scare Finn, they all just couldn't speak coherently because they've been dead for so long. Only Robin could cause he still died quite recently.
It's super awesome that zoran is handing the reins off to James and teaching him how to do the kill count, really showing how good of a mentor he is to James.
Or.... Not to be negative to your comment... But amazing child actors always tend to have their lives "cut short" before they peak... I wish everyone the best life because we're entitled to be happy and chase our dreams... But sometimes the spotlight is really a... BULLSEYE in so many ways
I adore this movie and the plot behind it. The idea of the past victims helping Finney/being protagonists instead of the typical angry evil spirits harming innocent people was really nice for me. Seeing the kids do their best to make sure another kid doesn’t die is really emotional. The last phone call with Robin killed me.
Yeah. That's what really makes it "a scary movie with a heart of gold." It's an inversion of sinister supernatural "hauntings." The ghosts are haunting Finney in order to save him from their own fate.
That's cool as hell that they had the actors actually talk on the phone during the scenes. It also makes the last phone call even more badass considering you had all 5 boys taunting the killer on the phone before he gets his neck snapped.
“The brother he’s been staying with has been moon-knighting as the grabber “ Nice touch. Ethan Hawke was recently the main villain in Moon Knight for those who don’t know
glad things worked out, i hope Jordan Peele can help James out NOPE(2022) next month, BTW I'm glad Tom Savani was involved in this movie(designing the mask)
The scene where finn and Robin meet again teared me up so badly. I know it isn’t even real.. but it’s just way too depressing to watch friends that would never meet again :((
I saw this in theaters with two of my friends. I had read the story and they hadn’t. During the scene where the killer is sitting in the chair with his belt in his hand, and wearing a belt, one of my friends remarked “he’s dual wielding” and the mom in front of us started laughing. The energy from the audience when the end scene of the killer getting killed was absolutely impeccable. Someone in the front row was yelling “that’s my boy!”
Amazing, The Black Phone was awesome watching in the theater earlier this year, I loved Sinister so had high hopes for this one, and I was not disappointed :)
Oh man, this was one of the first movies I saw in theatres post-covid. I ADORE this movie. It certainly has problems, but definitely a successful outing from Derrickson.
I LOVED this movie. It focuses on the victims lives instead of the killer, which is super unique and in my opinion the right way to go. It then also opens up the possibility of a prequel, should they want to, showing why the grabber is who he is, the first kill, etc. Just amazing story telling all around.
The jumpscare with the ghost kids and Gwen actually made everyone in the audience jump. It was during such a high intensity part in the movie that it literally scared all of us so hard.
same happened to the theater me and my husband went to. except that that jumpscare got my husband so bad that he bent his glasses to the point he almost broke them 😂😂😂
@@karameru_xdikr! Reminds how George P Wilbur who played Michael Myers in Halloween 4 said he would take off his mask between takes to tell Danielle Harris (Jamie Lloyd) that he wasn’t actually going to hurt her.
@@CyniSchism96 the original line was “that hasn’t worked since I was a boy”. James said “it hasn’t worked since his boyhood” referencing the Ethan Hawke film “Boyhood”
Respect your opinion, but I think is not THAAT great, at least it's obviously good and better than most horror movies these days, and that reference to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre gives it a lot of points!
this entire movie just worked for me idk??? the way finney used everything the kids gave him to stop the grabber but not in the way you would have expected originally was just so good. robin teaching finney the phone swing when they synced up was just AHHH!!! it was one of my favourite movies this year!! the kid actors were incredible
I don't know why but it really got me when Bruce says to the grabber "...Finns arm is mint!" before Finn snapped his neck. When I saw it at the movies there were quite a few of us viewers who yelled out some variation of 'Yes!'
@@Tazza81 I was in the movies with my sister. It was so exciting, and just about everyone was rooting for Finn so loudly. Even my sister shouted out "kick his ass, Finn!" I absolutely adore The Black Phone. Not only because of the movie itself, but how much happiness and hope it gave to people in the theater and myself. This movie will always hold a special place in my heart because of that.
The Bruce Yamata home movie sequence after you learn The Grabber got him always gets me. To see all that happiness and life and think about how those feelings were replaced by sadness just because of the actions of one piece of shit human being is just gutting.
@tonyacosta4574 Yeah, you have a point, and I respect your opinion, but a lot of people watch movies, even scary movies, as sort of an escape from that reality. Not saying horror movies all have to have a happy ending, just that for some people it’s nice that they don’t always mimic reality to that extent. Also, dark endings have become a bit of an overdone thing for my taste.
I absolutely love what they do with the dialogue in this movie. With each ghost kid’s last words all tying into that very last moment made for an extremely satisfying death scene.
I'd love to see this channel open a space for weekly uploads where Zoran gets his own show to run. Maybe a dissection of horror movies rather than a kill count.
Ethan Hawke seems like a pretty chill dude irl. “Catch the balloons! You ok???” Just…aww. Also this is a really interesting plot, never seen one like this.
Well sometimes you have to be nice in order to get through stuff like this. Tony Todd scared the fuck out of Virginia Madsen in one scene. And she said he kept apologizing cause she didn't know they were going to do that.
ethan hawke is a phenomenal actor and he managed to scare me as well after watching a lot of horror movies and not being scared. he absolutely nailed it
I am blown away by this channel! You have defied the odds of copyright claims all year and don't stop at anything to get these videos to us! We all very much appreciate it and the dedication by the whole Dead Meat team shows!!

Finney Blake has to be one of the most smartest and lovable protagonists in horror history, it's impossible not to root the whole movie for him escape unharmed
@@deviousballstickler821 for the viewers sure. But for the characters he dressed up for a phone call even though James wouldn’t be able to see him. That’s part of the joke. He could have just tricked him with the voice. Consider the joke explained
It's usually hard for me to have my heartstrings pulled while watching movies (I can only think of like two movies that have genuinely made me cry), but watching Gwen be abused by her dad was absolutely HEARTWRENCHING to watch. Phenomenal acting all around. I was so excited to see Dead Meat cover this! Thank you guys for working so hard to appreciate this movie the way it was meant to be. :)
The Black Phone is one of my favorite horror movies I’ve seen in years. The acting is phenomenal. The abuse scene with Gwen and her dad made me cry. The scene with Finney and Robin at the end made me sob. I love this movie so much.
I know it takes alot to make such quality content. So thank you to everyone on the Dead Meat team. This is the only channel I have notifications on and my whole family enjoys the kill count. James might never see this but just in case the Ta Taylor and the Taylor Family from Palm Beach Florida would love a shout out. Love you guys. Byeeee.
I really like how well this movie does the victim getting revenge on the killer trope. It feels so satisfying, unlike some other films. It was really well done
I'm so happy you got to upload this even with the copyright claim, I just wanna say I appreciate everyone on the dead meat team for all their hard work with all the videos and dealing with the copyright issues.
This was a really good movie and the Grabber would've never got caught or killed if it wasn't for the siblings having their Mother's Gift and the brother getting captured to solve this missing children murder mystery plus this movie had that The Lovely Bones vibe 👍✌.
I wouldn’t say he would’ve _never_ gotten caught, since serial killers’ endless bloodlust always results in sloppy kills, giving authorities more and more evidence to work with. However, if the kid hadn’t killed him, many more children would’ve died before he was caught.
I’m so glad to see that you were able to get this situation handled, shout out to the writer and director for doing their best to help!! We love your work James, keep up the great work

I’m shocked to hear that the lead kid in this movie was his acting debut. He was good. Loved the movie. I love Ethan hawk in everything he’s done. Hopefully they’ll make a sequel but if this is the only one I’m ok with it.
@@Cassienovi I don’t mean with the same guy. Sequel can bring in a new villain. We never know. At least give the lead actor kid more roles after this. He’s amazing
Thank you to both the Director Derickson and his co-writer Cargill for being so kind, helpful and understanding in helping James getting this resolved and uploaded Today. Thank you
To James and his team, thank you for trying your heart out to bring us these amazing videos, even if things like copyright claims get in the way, you guys still bring us amazing videos! Keep up the amazing work!
I know, I know, there are LOTS of gifted characters in the industry but Tom Savini is one of those people, I constantly smile as soon I hear his name as he was part of SO MUCH great SFX/PRop work and also played such hilarious roles himself in front of the camera, dude is just a living legend for me
I just noticed, the kid batting at 3:58 was one of the kids kidnapped in the Doctor Sleep movie and tortured and murdered for his 'steam'. Nice little easter egg there.
Jacob Tremblay isn't in the Black Phone movie. It's a scene insert from the Doctor Sleep film to show the similarities between Stephen King's film and his son's.
Idk if this is a weird thing to remark on, but I hope you and the rest of the team occasionally take stock of your impressive collection of videos and feel pride for your accomplishments
Honestly yeah I wished the kids were fleshed out more. Robin is my personal favorite and I would've wanted to see how they started being friends. Also the others are interesting. I wonder what they were like before they died from "The Grabber".
What I love about Black Phone is that, not only is it one of the few horror movies that has a happy ending, but it's also one of the few modern horror movies I can think of where kids play a major role in defeating the antagonistic and/or evil force. The closest others I can think of is the IT movie series and Kuntlilanak on Netflix (and probably the Afraid of the Dark remake, but I haven't seen it yet to judge it well). Having grown up with kid-friendly horror media like Goosebumps, Monster House, and some of the '90s Scooby-Doo movies, it warms my old heart to see horror movies with uplifting and empowering stories, especially for kids.
21:13 "Hello, hello, hello? Uh, I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night. Um, I actually worked in that office before you. I'm finishing up my last week now, as a matter of fact. So, I know it can be a bit overwhelming, but I'm here to tell you there's nothing to worry about. Uh, you'll do fine. So, let's just focus on getting you through your first week. Okay? Uh, let's see, first there's an introductory greeting from the company that I'm supposed to read. Uh, it's kind of a legal thing, you know. Um, "Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. A magical place for kids and grown-ups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person. Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced." Blah blah blah, now that might sound bad, I know, but there's really nothing to worry about. Uh, the animatronic characters here do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No. If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath? I'd probably be a bit irritable at night too. So, remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect, right? Okay. So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit. Uh, they're left in some kind of free roaming mode at night. Uh...Something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long. Uh, they used to be allowed to walk around during the day too. But then there was The Bite of '87. Yeah. I-It's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know? Uh, now concerning your safety, the only real risk to you as a night watchman here, if any, is the fact that these characters, uh, if they happen to see you after hours probably won't recognize you as a person. They'll p-most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on. Now since that's against the rules here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, they'll probably try to...forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit. Um, now, that wouldn't be so bad if the suits themselves weren't filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices, especially around the facial area. So, you could imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort...and death. Uh, the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask, heh. Y-Yeah, they don't tell you these things when you sign up. But hey, first day should be a breeze. I'll chat with you tomorrow. Uh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary. Gotta conserve power. Alright, good night."
Last time I had such a huge feel of relief ("Finn's arm is MINT") during a horror movie villain's kill was at the final scene of Death proof. Extremely satisfying
So glad you were able to do this episode! I hate whenever copyright issues harp on small/big horror movie channels. Thank god you were able to do this James! 🖤❤️🖤❤️
I know James and his team make amazing content when I even stay to watch their advertisements 😂😂 love this channel and so glad I been able to see it rise so much over the years
Finally the copyright claim issue is resolved, these guys went through a LOT to show us all this kill count that took a ton of effort to make, thanks guys!

Shaw is Max and The Grabbers last name, Finney’s last name is Blake
The end when the kid says Finn has a great arm hit way harder than I thought
Literally!
[cue Seinfeld theme]
I love that Zoran dressed up as James’s mum for an audio only phone call 😂
He had to get into character
I’m not even sure that James has a blonde mother
It was for that "It worked I got free ear earbuds" gag.
@@deviousballstickler821 for the viewers sure. But for the characters he dressed up for a phone call even though James wouldn’t be able to see him. That’s part of the joke. He could have just tricked him with the voice. Consider the joke explained
@@CJ_Raider But I got the Joke? Did you mark the wrong person?
It's usually hard for me to have my heartstrings pulled while watching movies (I can only think of like two movies that have genuinely made me cry), but watching Gwen be abused by her dad was absolutely HEARTWRENCHING to watch. Phenomenal acting all around. I was so excited to see Dead Meat cover this! Thank you guys for working so hard to appreciate this movie the way it was meant to be. :)
I'd like to know where was all that damn MOXIE when he was sitting on the stairs crying and being a punk in Saving Private Ryan hmmm?
Can we appreciate how much effort James and the dead meat team took to get this episode out hats off to you
Can we appreciate Zoran’s funny inputs in the sponsorship segments?
Yes
The Black Phone is one of my favorite horror movies I’ve seen in years. The acting is phenomenal. The abuse scene with Gwen and her dad made me cry. The scene with Finney and Robin at the end made me sob. I love this movie so much.
I know it takes alot to make such quality content. So thank you to everyone on the Dead Meat team. This is the only channel I have notifications on and my whole family enjoys the kill count. James might never see this but just in case the Ta Taylor and the Taylor Family from Palm Beach Florida would love a shout out. Love you guys. Byeeee.
Zorn’s commitment to do ANYthing to be on the show is personally inspiring.
I really like how well this movie does the victim getting revenge on the killer trope. It feels so satisfying, unlike some other films. It was really well done
this movie tbh does not get talked about enough I'm so glad James was able to do a kill count for it and appreciate how great of a piece of art it is
I'm so happy you got to upload this even with the copyright claim, I just wanna say I appreciate everyone on the dead meat team for all their hard work with all the videos and dealing with the copyright issues.
8:32 I knew it was coming, and I still popped so hard 😂 MAN I LOVE DEAD MEAT 😂😂😂😂😂
This was a really good movie and the Grabber would've never got caught or killed if it wasn't for the siblings having their Mother's Gift and the brother getting captured to solve this missing children murder mystery plus this movie had that The Lovely Bones vibe 👍✌.
The girl really didnt do anything. The boy escaped himself and could've easily gone to the police instead of the girl
I wouldn’t say he would’ve _never_ gotten caught, since serial killers’ endless bloodlust always results in sloppy kills, giving authorities more and more evidence to work with. However, if the kid hadn’t killed him, many more children would’ve died before he was caught.
@@cactuschattif it wasn't for her the cops wouldn't of found him at all
@@AaronCoats-vr5szyeah, or all the kids dead bodies
@@illuminaticonfirmed1389 they wouldn't found the bodies without her she's the one that led them to all of them
I’m so glad to see that you were able to get this situation handled, shout out to the writer and director for doing their best to help!! We love your work James, keep up the great work
Dead Meat is so productive, producing Kill Counts, the podcast, and James in so many weird costumes. THAT is dedication! I love it!
8:22 i knew EXACTLY where that joke was going and i absolutely love it. 10/10
IKR IT WAS SO FUNNY
@Almiightyexotic its a short 50 second song called twist by KoRn
The weirdest part is that the sound is actually in the movie
15:42 Ethan Hawke and Keanu Reaves are the nicest guys in hollywood.
I loved this movie. When Finney walked out of the house at the end and reunited with his sister, I teared up, which I do rarely.

Hi
Heeee haaa heee hhhhaaaaa heeaaaa he he haaa
It was made in 2022 not 2021 LOL
Hey James who's your wife
YOU FORGOT JEFFREY DAMHER THE HEART EATER
I’m shocked to hear that the lead kid in this movie was his acting debut. He was good. Loved the movie. I love Ethan hawk in everything he’s done. Hopefully they’ll make a sequel but if this is the only one I’m ok with it.
Same
but he's dead
@@Cassienovi I don’t mean with the same guy. Sequel can bring in a new villain. We never know. At least give the lead actor kid more roles after this. He’s amazing
@@RaptorRed well i was saying Ethan's character is dead, i thought you were saying you wanted a sequel cuz of him, i get you tho
@@Cassienovi I would love to have him back cause I love him but I mean a sequel with another kidnapper played by someone else.
8:31 the fact that you included Twist just made you one of my favorite RUclipsrs ever.
Thank you to both the Director Derickson and his co-writer Cargill for being so kind, helpful and understanding in helping James getting this resolved and uploaded Today. Thank you
To James and his team, thank you for trying your heart out to bring us these amazing videos, even if things like copyright claims get in the way, you guys still bring us amazing videos! Keep up the amazing work!
I really like the eerie static breaking up the call, really feels like the kids depressing, last drowning words as a ghost before moving on
That’s where the iconic my dreams are just dreams came from 6:58 😮😮😮
I am so happy that the writer and the director tried to help you get this up, they seem like good people
I’m sorry you all had so much trouble with copyright issues, we all appreciate all the hard work you all do to get these kill counts out.
same here
I know, I know, there are LOTS of gifted characters in the industry but Tom Savini is one of those people, I constantly smile as soon I hear his name as he was part of SO MUCH great SFX/PRop work and also played such hilarious roles himself in front of the camera, dude is just a living legend for me
I just noticed, the kid batting at 3:58 was one of the kids kidnapped in the Doctor Sleep movie and tortured and murdered for his 'steam'. Nice little easter egg there.
His name's Jacob Tremblay and he was in a lot of movies
@@majimasimp He's definitely more famous than me.
Jacob Tremblay isn't in the Black Phone movie. It's a scene insert from the Doctor Sleep film to show the similarities between Stephen King's film and his son's.
That's literally just a clip of Jacob Tremblay from Doctor Sleep. It's not really an easter egg
James edits that in….
It's remarkable how talented these kids are. I'm almost thirty and I couldn't act my way out of a wet paper bag.
Idk if this is a weird thing to remark on, but I hope you and the rest of the team occasionally take stock of your impressive collection of videos and feel pride for your accomplishments
Absolutely ❤️
@@DeadMeat Please confirm that we won't have to see Zorran dressed as your mother
I love this movie so much, but it felt to short. I wish it was a limited series that fleshed out all the characters instead.
Honestly yeah I wished the kids were fleshed out more. Robin is my personal favorite and I would've wanted to see how they started being friends. Also the others are interesting. I wonder what they were like before they died from "The Grabber".
haha no
@@protonjones54 true
Props to Zoran for freaking wearing Lipstick and a wig. That man's a legend. Also, James you rock! Keep up the good work!
Thank you James and the Dead Meat team for all the hard work to get this kill count out love you all
What I love about Black Phone is that, not only is it one of the few horror movies that has a happy ending, but it's also one of the few modern horror movies I can think of where kids play a major role in defeating the antagonistic and/or evil force. The closest others I can think of is the IT movie series and Kuntlilanak on Netflix (and probably the Afraid of the Dark remake, but I haven't seen it yet to judge it well).
Having grown up with kid-friendly horror media like Goosebumps, Monster House, and some of the '90s Scooby-Doo movies, it warms my old heart to see horror movies with uplifting and empowering stories, especially for kids.
I don’t usually like loud audience reactions, but being there opening night when the Grabber was killed was awesome. The crowd went crazy
13:49 “and Finny was awoken that night by some EXTREME YOGA” that was funny 😂
21:13 "Hello, hello, hello? Uh, I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night. Um, I actually worked in that office before you. I'm finishing up my last week now, as a matter of fact. So, I know it can be a bit overwhelming, but I'm here to tell you there's nothing to worry about. Uh, you'll do fine. So, let's just focus on getting you through your first week. Okay?
Uh, let's see, first there's an introductory greeting from the company that I'm supposed to read. Uh, it's kind of a legal thing, you know. Um, "Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. A magical place for kids and grown-ups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person. Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced."
Blah blah blah, now that might sound bad, I know, but there's really nothing to worry about. Uh, the animatronic characters here do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No. If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath? I'd probably be a bit irritable at night too. So, remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect, right? Okay.
So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit. Uh, they're left in some kind of free roaming mode at night. Uh...Something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long. Uh, they used to be allowed to walk around during the day too. But then there was The Bite of '87. Yeah. I-It's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know? Uh, now concerning your safety, the only real risk to you as a night watchman here, if any, is the fact that these characters, uh, if they happen to see you after hours probably won't recognize you as a person. They'll p-most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on. Now since that's against the rules here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, they'll probably try to...forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit. Um, now, that wouldn't be so bad if the suits themselves weren't filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices, especially around the facial area. So, you could imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort...and death. Uh, the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask, heh.
Y-Yeah, they don't tell you these things when you sign up. But hey, first day should be a breeze. I'll chat with you tomorrow. Uh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary. Gotta conserve power. Alright, good night."
Thank you to the team for getting this out and to the director and writer who tried their best to help you James!!
The moment where the ghosts are getting their last lines in with the killer is so good. I loved that!
James the Korn bit pure gold! I finally watched this on the weekend hence now watching the count. Thanks to you all for your hard work.
James thanks for entertaining me for literally years, helped me understand horror a lot more and care for it more, have a good one
Also love the wrestling quotes
It finally got released! Thank you Dead Meat team for all your hard work. I can only imagine how annoying the copyright stuff must have been
The amount of shit you guys have to go through to get these videos out is insane. Glad it was resolved and hope you all are doing well!
Last time I had such a huge feel of relief ("Finn's arm is MINT") during a horror movie villain's kill was at the final scene of Death proof. Extremely satisfying
8:05 A series focusing on horror movie tropes would be an amazing addition to the Dead Meat channel.
This is actually so cool, i love how when finney is fighting back, each tip recalls back to the kids' tips.
So glad you were able to do this episode! I hate whenever copyright issues harp on small/big horror movie channels. Thank god you were able to do this James! 🖤❤️🖤❤️
Can we just say real quick that Zoran's wig looked amazing?
I can't emphasize how happy it makes me to see Zoran more often in little gags and stuff
21:59 kill no. 8: zoran
Cause of death: "really wished james hadnt kill me because DBM3 is the new kill count champion" (killed offscreen)
Ughhhh
Doesn't matter how long it took, was so worth it. As always thankyou for all of the work you and your team pulled off once again!!
I know James and his team make amazing content when I even stay to watch their advertisements 😂😂 love this channel and so glad I been able to see it rise so much over the years
This was definitely one of my favorite recent horror movies!!
So happy to see you guys do this despite all the copyright issues
Finally the copyright claim issue is resolved, these guys went through a LOT to show us all this kill count that took a ton of effort to make, thanks guys!
Can’t believe how far this show has came along! It’s absolutely insane
14:52 anyone catch the adventure time reference? I love it
I'm so glad the copyright was taken care of. Yall deserve the world for how hard yall work. Love you guys ❤️❤️❤️
ok
@@thithi8793 ok
Well speaking of copyright what was the name of the metal song that the grabber sang in that one gag
@@JackDeSilver sorry I am late but it's korn listen to all of there music 🤣
