The Black Phone
Genre: Horror
Release Date: Friday, June 24 in Theaters
Based on a short story by horror novelist Joe Hill and starring Ethan Hawke in perhaps his most terrifying role to date, The Black Phone follows the story of Finney Shaw, a 13-year-old boy held captive in a soundproof basement by a sadistic killer who discovers a potential lifeline when the disconnected phone on the wall begins to ring. Scott Derrickson — who's spent his career scarring audiences with films like The Exorcism of Emily Rose and Sinister — ditched Doctor Strange 2 to make what early audiences have already called the most unnerving horror movie of 2022.
