Universal has rung up a second trailer for the horror film The Black Phone [BPHON] directed by Scott Derrickson [SDERR]. Ethan Hawke [EHAWK] stars as the villain, a child abductor who has locked his latest victim in his basement. Based on the short story by Joe Hill, The Black Phone opens in theaters on June 24th.
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.
