The Black Phone (2022)

Fun fact, the mask is based on the Lon Chaney Sr. character from London After Midnight

The mask freaks me out and Hawke's mannerisms in this film. He really has it nailed down.

Kind of the point, lol, and yeah Ethan is/has been good horror. Kind of like Elijah Wood who has been killing it

Yeah, I am a big old school horror fan, so I figured it out quickly as the director even said he took the idea of it from there so. If you watch The Babadook it takes inspiration from the same movie as well.

After scaring up $100 million worldwide, Scott Derrickson‘s The Black Phone is now headed home to On Demand outlets this Friday, July 15, 2022, Bloody Disgusting has learned.

The film, meanwhile, is still playing in theaters, currently in the #6 spot on the box office charts and making $62.3 million domestically. A huge win for non-franchise horror cinema!

Meagan wrote in her review of The Black Phone for Bloody Disgusting, “Derrickson and Cargill revive the same traits and structure of Sinister to transform Joe Hill’s short into a feature-length nightmare full of ghostly kids, violence, and a trio of unforgettable performances.”

Starring four-time Oscar nominee Ethan Hawke in the most terrifying role of his career and introducing Mason Thames in his first ever film role, The Black Phone is produced, directed, and co-written by Scott Derrickson, the writer-director of Sinister, The Exorcism of Emily Rose and Marvel’s Doctor Strange.

Finney Shaw, a shy but clever 13-year-old boy, is abducted by a sadistic killer and trapped in a soundproof basement where screaming is of little use. When a disconnected phone on the wall begins to ring, Finney discovers that he can hear the voices of the killer’s previous victims. And they are dead set on making sure that what happened to them doesn’t happen to Finney.

The film’s screenplay is by Derrickson & C. Robert Cargill (Doctor Strange, Sinister franchise), based on the award-winning short story by Joe Hill from his New York Times bestseller 20th Century Ghosts. The film is produced by Derrickson & Cargill’s Crooked Highway and presented by Universal and Blumhouse. Jason Blum, Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill are producers on the film, which is executive produced by Ryan Turek and Christopher H. Warner.
