## WHAT IS THE STORY ABOUT?
It all started when a boy who has lost his mom did the reading at their small village's church. This little boy caught a rich man's, Mr. Harrigan, attention. This rich man's vision isn't how it used to be and he somehow hired this little boy to read him some books.
From then, the little boy named "Craig" started going to Mr. Harrigan's place a couple times a week to read him a book. This situation went on for a long time that their relationship has improved as well.

Craig started attending high school in the next town. And in this high school, your status depends on what phone you have. Just like any other teenager, he also wanted to fit in. Eventually, he was able to get himself a smartphone.
Aside from books, he and Mr. Harrigan bonded over there phones until the latter's final breath. Craig was saddened by the death of his friend and tried to communicate with him through his phone when something weird started to happen.
Anyway, here's the trailer of the said movie... so, check it out to get a much clearer view of what it is about.

## What Are My Thoughts About the Movie?
Well, to be completely honest, I'm not very sure if I would categorize this as horror. I've read that this is based on a short story by Stephen King, but it's hardly a horror film. There wasn't any jump scares or other elements that would classify it as such. Though, there is a slight eerie feel to it.

It's more of a heartwarming story of a friendship which is beyond status and age. It's about the grief a person undergoes when someone special left forever.
I personally like the movie because I like these kinds of concept. The movie was able to portray the stages of grief a person experience from Denial to Anger, to Bargaining, Depression and lastly, Acceptance.
I believe what Craig experienced in the movie is pretty relatable to people who has lost someone special in their life.
If you're expecting some horror vibes, I'm sorry but this isn't really the movie for you. However, I'd still recommend it. It may not be one of my faves, but I'm willing to rewatch this when I have some free time. :)
I'll end here, friends! See you around! (^^,)/
