Wouldn't he $%@# them?
I mean he has the van, the basement, the mattress and goes hunting for boys but then doesn't fuck them? Seems odd to me.
shareYour a pedo?

Yeah, it seems a bit odd. I actually thought he was going to do too, but other than that, what was his purpose though?
shareYeah he wanted to like mentally and physically abuse them. It was like a game, like you know when he left the door unlocked and waited on the other side. But yeah usually it would also be sexual.
shareMaybe he's into necrophilia and rapes their bodies after he's murdered them.
Ohhh right that makes sense.
shareExactly. One of the boys even says that something like after he's done beating and offing them, what he does after is his favorite part. Plus he clearly was a flamer and only took males.
shareI think that was implied with the “won’t do anything you won’t like” comment and the naughty boy talk.
Really, how much more did you want them to show? It would have been unwatchable.
I disagree I think it was just in the context of his game of punishing them with physical violence for disobedience.
Maybe someone who has read the book has some insight on this.
That is exactly correct. I think it laid out pretty well that there was a sexual element.
He would entice them to try and escape, and play ‘naughty boy’…he would beat them, then sexually abuse them and the stab them to death the next day.
Correct
shareThat was obviously implied. It's a phucked up topic that doesn't need to be in your face, or spelled out for you.
shareThe inspiration for The Black Phone was John Wayne Gacy, who raped, tortured, and murdered at least 33 boys! He would anal rape the boys for a few days before killing them.
shareThe main character was not raped the whole time he was down there which is most of the movie. I don't believe its just a matter of not showing it. There was nothing to suggest it whatsoever.
shareI also noticed wayne gacy similarities
