You won’t have to wait much long to enjoy Scott Derrickson’s The Black Phone from the comfort of your couch with digital and physical version launching this month.
This morning, Universal Pictures announced the home release details for Scott Derrickson’s latest horror film, The Black Phone. And it’s coming pretty damn soon. The digital version of the film arrives next Friday, August 12th, while the physical Blu-ray will hit the following week on August 16th with a whole bunch of bonus features:
Finney (Thames), a shy but clever 13-year-old boy, is abducted by a sadistic killer (Hawke) 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. The film is produced by Derrickson & Cargill’s Crooked Highway and presented by Universal and Blumhouse.
