"Mr. Harrigan's Phone". Worth watching. [View all]

It's based on a Stephan King short story. It's quite well done. My only complaint is it's a bit long. I think since it was a short story, they dragged the first half out longer than needed. But overall a good commentary about our addiction to our phones. Not real scary, so it'd be okay for kids.

Streaming on Netflix.
