The phone is dead… and it’s ringing in Scott Derrickson‘s (Sinister, Doctor Strange) new horror movie The Black Phone, and Blumhouse has debuted a brand new trailer today.
The adaptation of Joe Hill‘s short story comes to theaters on June 24.
You can watch the brand new The Black Phone trailer below, which gives us several new shots of the creepy masks designed by the legendary Tom Savini and his team of artists!
Tom Savini and Jason Baker designed The Black Phone‘s mask(s) for Callosum Studios, and it’s a big deal for Savini’s work to be featured in a big screen horror movie again. Most recently, Savini and Baker have been designing masks for World Wrestling Entertainment, helping characters including The Fiend and Alexa Bliss bring a little terror to the squared circle.
Director Scott Derrickson returns to his terror roots and partners again with the foremost brand in the genre, Blumhouse, with a new horror thriller. 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.
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.
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.
Madeleine McGraw, Jeremy Davies, and James Ransone also star.
