    Snoozefest of a horror coming of age film.
    1 out of 5 stars.

    Mr. Harrigans Phone is a horrible horror coming of age film that lacks scares and thrills. And it is a story of a coming of age about a teen who loses one of his closest mentor. The plot is horrible. The direction and script goes nowhere with the film. The cast ensemble is flat and dull with there performances. The film is a coming of age about a teen trying to discover himself. The film is a mess. Finding its balance with what it is trying to be is all over the place. It is one of the worst films of the year. I definitely recommend skipping this film. It is slow paced and boring.

    iPhones connecting people from beyond grave.
    Not all Stephen King's story makes up for a good feature film and Mr. Harrigan's Phone is sadly one among them. With a bland narrative, zero scares, this horror drama fails to deliver. With a predictable tone, the narrative drags on from the initial scenes itself while establishing the friendship between Craig and the elderly rich man Mr. Harrigan. I wished for some suspense if not scares to make the proceedings rather interesting.

    Instead we get is a pretty straight forward story with commentary on mobile technology, all the way aiming for the lesson of learning to let go. The performances were decent enough but the below par direction felt too much for the performances to pull this one through.
