Black Phone as well as Black Phone 2 surprised me. Good acting, scary stories, and some surprising twists.
The cinematography reminded me of Stranger Things. Part 2 had a handful of scenes which were similar to Boards of Canada music vids. If you like light gore, extremely difficult struggles which do not have a Disney ending, and an evil bordering on Silence of the Lambs character, then this may be something to explore.
