Scott Derrickson has revealed the change he made to the end of Ethan Hawke-starring horror film 'The Black Phone.'
Black Phone is a thrilling new horror film from director Scott Derrickson that stars Ethan Hawke as the menacing Grabber, a character who thrives on taking small boys into his terrifying basement and toying with them until he strikes. It's a hard film to watch, but one that ultimately has an ending that leaves the audience cheering for Finney .
In Black Phone, there is a disconnected black phone on the wall of the basement where the Grabber keeps his victims. He keeps telling Finney it doesn't work and yet Finney hears it ringing with the voices of the Grabber's previous victims. For Finney, his best friend Robin is one of them. We get to meet Robin in the beginning of the movie as he inspires Finney to fight back against bullies, but we don't get to really see him past that point since the Grabber takes him.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY “In the script, Robin wasn’t in the room. It was just a phone call,” Derrickson said. “A day or two before we shot that … it suddenly hit me out of nowhere. I was like, ‘Oh, the audience wants to see that kid again. We got to see him again. It’s not going feel right if we don’t see him again.’ I was like, ‘Where’s that kid?’ and they were like, ‘We just flew him home.’ I was like, ‘Get him back. You got to fly him back.
The Black Phone is frightening, upsetting, but also Derrickson at his absolute best. It is playing in theaters now.
