Movie Review: Answer The Call And Watch The Must See Horror 'The Black Phone'

Ethan Hawke Talks ‘The Black Phone’ In Featurette

This June, director Scott Derrickson returns to his terror roots, partnering Blumhouse for the new horror-thriller, The Black Phone, whose new featurette sees Ethan Hawke, delve into “The Grabber,” the twisted, mask-wearing villain of the film as well as his own journey “to the dark side.” The movie centers on “Finney Shaw, a shy but clever 13-year-old boy 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 terrifying role of his career and introducing Mason Thames in his film debut, The Black Phone is produced, directed, and co-written by Scott Derrickson. The latter also wrote and directed Sinister, which also starred Hawke. He’s also

Men Gather Around A Body In The First Image From Supernatural Horror 'Abyzou'

Men Gather Around A Body In The First Image From Supernatural Horror ‘Abyzou’

Three men gather around a body in the first image from Millennium Media’s new horror-thriller Abyzou, which Decal acquired at Cannes. In the film, the son of a Jewish funeral director returns home with his pregnant in tow. When the family receives a mysterious body, they are unaware that it holds an ancient demon with sinister plans for the unborn child. Nick Blood (“Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”), Allan Corduner (“Homeland”), Emm Wiseman (Winchester), and Paul Kaye (“Game of Thrones”) star in the film directed by Oliver Park. Hank Hoffman penned the script with Jonathan Yunger. According to lore and myths, Abyzou “The Taker of Children” is the demon often blamed for miscarriages and infant deaths. She was said to be motivated by envy because she was infertile herself. In the Hebrew tradition, she is identified with Lilith, in Egypt with Alabasandria, and in Byzantine culture with Gylou, but throughout history she had many names. Deadline reports that Abyzou will land in

Tribeca Festival Heaps on the Horror at Midnight

Tribeca Festival Heaps on the Horror at Midnight

Tribeca Festival has a tantalizing, sure-to-be-terrifying array of horror movies, thrillers, and related genre offerings slated for this year’s Midnight section of the renowned fest, which takes place June 8–19, 2022 in New York City. Along with the Midnight section, the TribecXploitation series offers three NYC-shot grindhouse classics on the big screen, presented by their directors. Following are brief descriptions of each film, followed by my thoughts in italics. Midnight Attachment Maja and Leah’s new relationship is interrupted when mysterious things start happening in their London flat. It seems that Leah’s disapproving mother, who lives downstairs, is using Jewish folklore to come between them. Folk horror is red hot at the moment, and religious horror is always a popular subgenre. It sounds as though this slice of Danish fear fare may have elements of both, and the acting is said to be particularly strong. The Black Phone Locked in a soundproof basement by a masked child killer, a teenage boy
