Ethan Hawke’s 2021 Horror Movie Doesn’t Need A Sequel – It Needs A Prequel

The Black Phone, a well-crafted horror movie driven by a compelling performance from Ethan Hawke in 2021 could get an unnecessary sequel when what it really needs is a prequel. Scott Derrickson’s film followed resourcecful 13-year-old Finney Shaw who must plot his escape after being abducted and imprisoned in a soundproof basement by a masked killer. A phone on the wall, which Finney thinks is disconnected, starts to ring, and the voices of the murderer’s victims guide Finney’s plan as he toils to outsmart his sadistic captor and prevent them from ever harming another child ever again.
