The phone is dead. And it’s ringing.
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.
I can't handle horror movies but this looks totally epic.
Halloween kills was epic… and please stop using epic… it’s not epic
@@dire12343 epic is just a pretty epic word not to use
@@b3anz999 mmmmmkay!!
Sameee I normally can’t watch horror but for some reason I really wanna watch this
Same here
I have not been this intrigued in a while, the mask looks so creepy looks great. The concept , I love thrillers . I'm excited for this one
I think it’s supposed to be like a hannya mask A hannya is a jealous, vengeful, or obsessive female demon from Japanese Noh theatre
I said the same thing , looks very interesting
They showed too much in the trailer
@@boomdoo123 not really...it tells what it needs to without giving away important plot points. Hawks is rarely shown as well. From anyone who’s read the short story you already know Finney gets kidnapped, there’s ‘ghost’ victims and the grabber is the antagonist.
Yes it looks like a thriller but for some reason I think it’s gonna be trash like morbious, (is that how you spell it??) I don’t know why though
My daughter and I watched this movie tonight and I have to say, this is one of the better movies I've seen in a long time. Well put together, suspenseful and definitely recommend!
I appreciate you coming here to say that. I’m sick of being disappointed by movies which had me excited from the trailer, so this continues my excitement to go and see it soon 😊
@@digitalharmony26 Just watched it and it was sooooooooo good. Best writing for a thriller Ive seen in AGES!
@@PAEz... very glad to hear you enjoyed it. Unfortunately my local cinemas have stopped playing it so I’m going to have to wait until I can watch it on a streaming platform somewhere. Disappointed but I hope it’ll be worth the wait
I saw it to it’s the best horror movie I had watched in a while
I feel the same. I give it a 10/10 and I rarely if ever rate a movie that high! Non stop suspense and brilliant acting
I love thrillers like this. Watched this trailer a couple times and still hasn’t finished it because I’m that excited to be blown away. I hope it doesn’t disappoint
FIRST time I've jumped from watching a trailer on my CELL phone in ages! YEHEEES!
So far people who saw it debut at a film festival in September say it’s pretty damn good. It’s by the exact same guys who made Sinister (Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill, also Ethan Hawke plays in both) which is one of the best horrors of the last 20 years imo.
I dont scare easy at all and I had 3 jump scares... This movie was really good!
@@skyofthelivingdead yeah this fact is what makes me interested. I love thrillers but most are predictable. Sinister was such a new concept, well old concept, definitely a new twist to it though. Haven’t been interested in going to the cinema in years but this I’d venture out for.
Every time they make a movie from one of Joe Hill’s stories I am instantly into it. The man is a mastermind. I am excited for this
Ethan Hawke and Blumhouse back at it again? I'm here for it. Don't have to tell me twice.
This movie was the best movie that I’ve seen all year! The script was seamless. Acting was great. Story was riveting !
Omgg. This is SO GOOD!
Ethan Hawke and his horror genres are magnificent! Can't wait to see this in theaters.
The Best Thriller/Jump Scare movie I've seen in years! Now don't mess it up by making a sequel or a damn prequel! That was Lightning in a bottle! The story telling, the character development, All of it was Kick Ass!!!❤️
What I got from the trailer: The phone is a connection for finney to the spirits. The young girl begs god to help her help the police . As a result she gets visions/dreams that give her clues on occurrences/ victims/ and the location of the killer. I.e black balloons, the gate, the twisted dead tree. The ghosts of the deceased children help the killers latest victim escape with their collective knowledge as they all died alone and couldn't teach the other what they learned, so they instead help finney. The ONLY thing the trailer didn't give us was the killers back story. Which I'm assuming is trauma. What a spoiler.
You know, that part with the dead children helping the latest victim with their previous knowledge reminds me of a creepypasta and I'm sure also was part of a few horror games.
@@peter_pansexual6243 it’s from coraline
@@ellielevey1213 Yeah that too but Coraline isn't the only one who did it.
What if the plot twist is like the Lovely Bones, where the boy doesn't know he's dead yet 🤔
its based on a short story of the same name u should read it yall
This movie has become my number one favorite it’s actually so good I recommend it to ANYONE who Loves horror it’s so intriguing to watch!
This was THE best thriller Ive seen in ages. Normally Im in it for the gore and monsters, but this was just awesome writing. The characters, the lead up, the main part where all top notch and had such a satisfying ending. TOTALLY recommend.
I am a horror movie connoisseur and I can guarantee that Sinister was the most terrifying movie ever made. If his new film is anything like Sinister, it will scare you to death
Right! I kinda want to see it
I watched it last night in theatres. It wasn't that scary to me but it was really good
So its the o.g homie ethan hawke as a pshyco villain kidnapper magician. Count me in .
Just finished watching it… HIGHLY recommend!! Smart, suspenseful, well acted. Will definitely watch again.
As usual, we've ween the entire movie in the trailer. At least we saved money!
Oh shutup don’t see the movie then stop complaining
@@tommylee9042 but he's right. Trailers used to be more of a teaser that didn't show nearly as much.
No kidding even shows the kidnapper getting beat up. Unreal. Should have stopped watching after first 20 seconds
I tend to just watch like half the trailer or even a quarter of the trailer so I know I can still watch the movie without the trailer being a spoiler
@@nope2873 no one cares
Why can't this come out now it looks so good
“Trailer told the whole story” stfu it’s a Scott Derrickson horror so regardless it’s gonna be good
i'm sure it was gonna be good, but that all just got ruined.
@@erikrulez17 true!
@@erikrulez17 it still is good
@@naznottherapper maybe if I didn't see the whole movie in the trailer ..
@@erikrulez17 idc
Just got done watching. Never thoguht a thriller would make me cry . This movie was phenomenal. Hats off the writers❤
Man, I am so excited for this movie, i have been binge watching this trailer over and over and over. I can NOT wait to see the real movie and not just the trailer!! 😁😁
Omg I’ve watched this trailer a billion times lol I can’t wait for this movie to come out!!! Even though Ethan Hawke is a bad guy!! Ugh February is too far away 😤!!
I know right !! It’s to far away ! Though i’m super excited !!
have you watched it? now?
Why is Ethan Hawke a bad guy
It comes out in June apparently late June 🥲
@@mariselagutierrez739 he plays the villain in the movie
Finally a horror film that isn’t a remake and looks great’
This makes me think of Coraline a little bit from when she had the help from the kids the other mother was able to sew 🪡 the buttons on.
Child abduction movies have always made me so emotional but damn I want to see this…Ever since The Lovely Bones 🦴 I cry ever tiem but this one of course is a lot different than TLB.
Hell yeah Hollywood 👏👏👏👏 Thank you thank you for finally coming out with a good movie like this. 5 stars AND for letting it take place in the 70s 5 more stars, kept it old school like back in the days, when I was growing up. Excellent movie 🎬 👏👏👏👏👏 We need more movies like this. Please no cheesy ones, keep them coming. I will keep watching
This movie looks amazing, I can’t wait
This looks so good
This shit was terrifying to watch at the theater for the premiere of Halloween Kills. Never been more excited for a horror movie🔥.
What song came on for this trailer
@ the movies
@@jwave6121 it started it with the lights all going dark...the place was pitch black then your heard the sound of an old record player needle cracking and it started to play a bone chilling song...a song that that will haunt me forever....out of the darkness came a song..... WHO LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA!!!! SpongeBob SquarePants! Absorbent and yellow and porous is he SpongeBob SquarePants! If nautical nonsense be something you wish SpongeBob SquarePants! Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish!
Well now we know the entire plot. Why does no one know how to make a proper trailer anymore?
Lmao literally the entire movie is played out in the trailer. Smh
So how do y'all think the story resolves 🤔🤔
@@adampena8815 One of two scenarios: A) Happy ending (least likely based on Derrickson’s past works, but still most likely based on the literature) where Finney will escape and the killer is caught/killed before he follows through with his M/O Or B) Finney dies, the bad guy escapes the police, and the abducted kid helps the next victim while the little girl continues to have visions; or subsequently will be the next kid stolen and another child will carry out the link. I suppose there’s another less likely possibility - quite a reach, which is why I didn’t include it - where Wyatt was going to be set up to take the fall for the murders and honestly, I still think that is what might happen at the end. The whole situation would look really shady as an outsider. This ending would sorta be an ‘alternative bad-ending.’ However, For those who don’t know this is based off a short story by Joe Hill, Stephen Kings son, who is a great writer himself. The short story is in the collection _20th Century Ghosts_ which is excellent and I’d heartily recommend as October reading. The opener story in there “Best New Horror” is legitimately one of the scariest things I’ve ever read. Nonetheless, I’d bet Derrickson doesn’t stray too far from the source material…
If you want to watch a good horror trailer then I reccomend 'men' by A24. Its a fantastic trailer that gives close to nothing away and in return makes the watcher want to see the movie to be able to tell wtf is going on, it's brilliant :)
Seen it today !! Was awesome. Well written. A must see
This was fantastic, just seen it. Best I've watched in a while. It's been done but this was done really well, didn't move from my chair.
I NEED to see this! In live for horror but a serial killer one? Signed and sealed👍
I wish the movie industry could go back to 2000 and make proper trailers...
Im not understanding the reasoning behind long trailers that show too much???
I’m so hype I can’t wait to see this. It looks so good
ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE
Joe Hill is just as amazing as his dad, Stephen King. This is going to be epic.
That trailer showed everything, I’m glad I watched the movie before seeing this!
Feels very much inspired by Stephen King
His son wrote the short story it's based off
@@anguspangus Yep, there's some obvious nods to his dad's works like the balloons, the killer who targets kids etc
@@FieryFlamingFajitas hell, even the yellow raincoat with the kid on the bike, very similar to Georgie
Yea from the beginning I thought it was going to be another it movie and I liked the vibes.
I thought that too
i absolutely love horror movies and this, this looks good!
this movie looks good asf I’m watching this in theater as SOON as this comes out😭‼️.
It’s an awesome film! I wish it was scarier but there were some very intense scenes. I was also looking forward to the “HANG UP THE PHONE NOW” scene too. Overall, 9/10
Did you just... spilt out the whole plot? Including the escape?
Fr all spoilers
How do you know that was the escape or that he even escapes? It could have been a failed escape attempt. Im sure there's alot more that wasn't included in the trailer.
@@chrisde9788 it couldnt be
@@twinnnnn600 why not? It wouldn't be the first time someone failed escaping in the middle of the movie just to get caught a few minutes later and still ended up dead or managed to escape at the end of the movie.
Now that was cool! I can't wait to see it!
This looks terrific....awesome...👍
This is coming from Joe Hill's 21st Century Ghosts adaptation. Can't wait to watch it!
Wow…… This looks awesome. Am legit excited to see this. 👍🏼
My God, this looks phenomenal.
Dude! Yes that looks amazing
This played in the theatre before Spider-Man after some Pixar trailer and I was shocked. I kept looking around to see the reaction of all the 12 years…maybe I’m getting old but was just strange to me
Very well done. Definitely worth seeing.
Can’t freakin wait for this one !
Loved this movie. Plan to see it again.
CANT WAIT TO WATCH THIS ! I bet you this gone be the most epic movie in all of 2022‼️‼️😮💨 who’s ready ? Cause I ammm! It’s giving IT vibes ! I was at the edge of my bed

OMG I LOVED THIS MOVIE I'LL DEFINITELY BUY THIS WHEN AVAILABLE.

I gotta say this movie was intense… thoroughly enjoyed it… great story, well acted… one of those movies that sticks with you for days, weeks… definitely recommend it.
Omg can't wait for this to come out it looks amazing

@@ebonyeyed08ti yep

Brooo Ethan Hawke never did something like this before! I'm in! (edit) Yes he was in Sinister, but he wasn't a masked psycho before now was he?
As far as I know, no.
He just gave massive ledgers joker vibes when he took kid

You can see the resemblance between stephen and joes thrill for adventure and scariness.
Thanks for giving us the entire movie it seems like
I love movies like this,scary but doesn't seem gross I am so looking forward to seeing this!! 😀
Looks fabulous can't wait to see this one.
Dang this looks good!! I wanna watch it right now
Idk what it is but I feel like the “i'll scream i'll scratch your face” stands for something, someone definitely told him to say or do that!!
This actually looks so good
I read the short story this is based after and this seems pretty cool!
I’m going to go see this!!! And it set in the early 80s yessir I’m def there!
Early 70s actually
@@ashleydavis6749 late 70s it was based on 1978
Wellll dammm!! Can't wait!!
Lol... why would i need to see the movie after this trailer? The fact that they used this to promote the film, now THAT's scary!
Amazing movie. Great from beginning to end
Can't wait for this !!!

Thanks I just saw the whole movie
Film was creative and phenomenal 🤠

Excellent movie, will watch again
If this man abandoned the mcu and other horror projects to make this original movie you know it’s gonna slap just the name Scott derekson has me expecting another horror classic
I can’t wait to see this
Amazing I just saw the whole movie
the kid riding bicycle wearing yellow rain suit looks like from IT chapter 1
So many horror movies references in just one movie .
this looks intense plus its ethan hawke in a horror awesome top it off with he being the villian
Looks good hope it'll be as good as it looks
Omg love it I am going to see it
Okay this looks super good ngl
Loved this movie. I never really understood what the "He doesn't really take kids that say it" was all about though. Like I think I zoned out during the movie -_- Edit: When the person says "one of our students is missing" I keep hearing "Finney Blake" but his name is Finney Shaw. I'm so confused-
I definitely recommend this movie 100/100
Can June comes earlier this year 😍☎️ this movie look so so promosing, Ethan Hawke produce Sinister one of the best of all time in Horror, now this movie look so awesome, Thames and McGraw are awesome, I can't wait for the Black Phone and this horrfying mask 😍🔥
