In this edition, Rob Hunter revisits one of this year\u2019s big horror hits, The Black Phone<\/i>.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>As theaters continue their move back to business as usual, it\u2019s typically been the big franchise films\/sequels that have garnered the big box-office. The exception, though, has often been original genre offerings with two big examples being Jordan Peele\u2019s <em>Nope<\/em> and Scott Derrickson\u2019s <strong><em>The Black Phone<\/em><\/strong>. Both films cracked the $100 million mark, but <em>The Black Phone<\/em> is currently sitting at $155m on an $18m which is a tremendous feat \u2014 one that is something of a pattern for Derrickson\u2019s horror offerings as both <em>The Exorcism of Emily Rose<\/em> (2005) and <em>Sinister<\/em> (2012) made big box-office on small budgets.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Black Phone<\/em> is a 70s set tale about a boy trying to escape the clutches of a serial killer with the help of his determined sister and the victims who came before. It\u2019s a solid enough thriller that works as gateway horror for YA audiences, and it\u2019s new to home video. The Blu-ray includes a commentary with the director, so of course I gave it a listen. Keep reading to see what I heard on the commentary for <em>The Black Phone<\/em>!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"graf graf--h3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Black_Phone_2022\"><\/span>The Black Phone (2022)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Commentator: <strong>Scott Derrickson<\/strong> (director, co-writer, producer)<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\"><strong>1.<\/strong> Derrickson grew up in North Denver during the 70s, and those details and others are personal touches he brought to the film. While many are light memories, he acknowledges that he\u2019s spent the past five years in therapy dealing with events from his own childhood. That process led him to think there was a story there, which in turn saw him turn to his writing partner (<strong>C. Robert Cargill<\/strong>) in the hopes of crafting something along the lines of Francois Truffaut\u2019s <em>The 400 Blows<\/em> (1959). They soon realized there wasn\u2019t enough there to warrant that comparison or fill in a story, but a compromise was found in blending his own memories into an adaptation of <strong>Joe Hill<\/strong>\u2018s \u201cThe Black Phone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> The <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a> was written in six weeks. The film was shot in thirty-three days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> His childhood had its own violence, but there was also a societal wave including Ted Bundy\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> through Colorado, the murder of Derrickson\u2019s next door neighbor, and even a phone call that saw him talk briefly with one of the Manson Family murderers. \u201cThe primary emotion that I associate with my own childhood is fear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> Derrickson\u2019s hope with <em>The Black Phone<\/em> was to make a scary movie about dark subjects \u201cthat was still inspiring, that still had a loving point of view to it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong> He speaks highly of both <strong>Mason Thames<\/strong> and <strong>Madeleine McGraw<\/strong> who play siblings Finney and Gwen, respectively. He actually pushed the film\u2019s start date by four months to accommodate McGraw\u2019s Disney schedule.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6.<\/strong> While set in Colorado, the film was shot in North Carolina.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7.<\/strong> Rather than fetishize the clothes and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> look of the decade through a nostalgic lens, his goal here was to capture the feel the way the late 70s felt to him as a kid. He succeeds (at least to this other child of the 70s), and it\u2019s arguably one of the film\u2019s greatest strengths.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8.<\/strong> He\u2019s asked a lot about putting kids in horror films with the suggestion that it might be detrimental to the young actors. \u201cThe answer is no, it\u2019s like Halloween. Halloween is a kids holiday, and it\u2019s a holiday they love. Kids love dressing up and touching on dark things and death and mayhem, there\u2019s something tantalizing about it, and when they know it\u2019s pretend they just love it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>9.<\/strong> Derrickson believes in ghosts because millions of people claim to have seen them, and he trusts that as evidence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10.<\/strong> He included a scene from <em>The Tingler<\/em> (1959) because it\u2019s a direct memory of seeing the film as a kid and being truly freaked out. \u201cThat was the beginning of the horror director in me I suppose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>11.<\/strong> He was asked to cut the scene with Gwen being whipped (with a belt) by her dad, played by <strong>Jeremy Davies<\/strong>, but no one pressured him to do so. \u201cIt\u2019s not even illegal what he\u2019s doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>12.<\/strong> \u201cI think it\u2019s fair to say he\u2019s my favorite actor I\u2019ve worked with,\u201d says Derrickson about <strong>Ethan Hawke<\/strong>. He recalls trying to convince Hawke to do <em>Sinister<\/em> (2012) despite the actor\u2019s protestations that he didn\u2019t really like or watch horror. Hawke had been concerned it would be a dark experience, but Derrickson convinced him that it\u2019s actually a lot of fun making horror <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a>. He had to be convinced once again for <em>The Black Phone<\/em>, but it was because he doesn\u2019t really play villains and told Derrickson the script would have to be great for him to sign on. Hawke called back that night after reading it, left a voicemail in the voice of The Grabber, and Derrickson knew he had him hooked.<\/p>\n<p><strong>13.<\/strong> The Grabber is a clown in the short story, but Hill himself suggested that in a post-<em>It<\/em> world they couldn\u2019t keep that and should instead switch him to a magician. Early drafts of the script also described the masks as leather ones with a smile or a frown, but Derrickson knew they\u2019d be the centerpiece of the film\u2019s marketing so he spent a lot of time in designing it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>14.<\/strong> \u201cAnd then Tom Savino, the great Tom Savino, who created I believe the original <em>Halloween<\/em> mask and <em>Friday the 13th<\/em> mask, just a legend in the world of horror\u2026\u201d Look, Derrickson is a busy guy and there\u2019s no arguing with his horror bonafides so we\u2019re not going to knock him here. That said, it\u2019s obviously <strong>Tom Savini<\/strong> he\u2019s referring to as the legend designed the masks for <em>The Black Phone<\/em>. Savini did makeup effects on the original <em>Friday the 13th<\/em> (1980), but there\u2019s no mask in it \u2014 Jason dons a burlap sack in <em>Friday the 13th Part 2<\/em> (1981) and gets his iconic hockey mask in Friday the 13th Part III (1982), but Savini didn\u2019t return to the franchise until <em>Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter<\/em> (1984). He also had nothing to do with <em>Halloween<\/em> (1978), and Michael Myers\u2019 mask was famously the work of the film\u2019s production designer, Tommy Lee Wallace, who bought a Captain Kirk mask, spray painted it white, and played around with the hair and eye holes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>15.<\/strong> \u201cI want the movie to sound like childhood fear,\u201d is what Derrickson told composer <strong>Mark Korven<\/strong>\u00a0who signed on im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>16.<\/strong> Finney\u2019s conversations with the dead kids on the phone were shot with Thames actually speaking to those other actors on the phone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>17.<\/strong> The basement set was built on a four-foot riser so they could \u201cdig\u201d into the floor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>18.<\/strong> Executive producer <strong>Jason Blum<\/strong>, from the House of Blum, sent Derrickson a black phone in a display case after reading the script and giving the film the green light. Derrickson moved into a new house in August 2021 \u2014 his previous home burned down in 2018 \u2014 and Blum secretly had a black phone mounted on the wall of the new house\u2019s basement. \u201cI was just sitting in my living room and I heard a phone ring in the basement, and I was like oh my god.\u201d He discovered that Blum had it set to speed dial his cell phone whenever it was lifted from the cradle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>19.<\/strong> \u201cIt\u2019s too bad the trailers show this particular moment,\u201d says Derrickson at 45:39 with the reveal of the dead kid in the basement. He understands and appreciates marketing departments, but he loves how effective it was for audiences who weren\u2019t expecting it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>20.<\/strong> Derrickson sees the film as more of a paranormal thriller than straight horror as it relies more on suspense than terror. \u201cI think that\u2019s subjective, though, and everybody would have their own answer to that question.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>21.<\/strong> One of the more common conversations that Derrickson has with people about the film is in regard to Davies\u2019 character. People ask if he thinks the man is redeemed at the end. He told Davies not to play the role as a villain but as a man in pain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>22.<\/strong> Derrickson and Cargill realized partway through the script that they needed to give the audiences a break of some sort, so they decided to write a role for <strong>James Ransone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>23.<\/strong> The Grabber\u2019s entrance at 58:05 sees Hawke performing as if the character is drugged or something. \u201cI\u2019m not sure where he was coming from, but I remember being on set and thinking \u2018this feels really right.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>24.<\/strong> Derrickson\u2019s son, Dashiell, appears in the purple shirt at 1:12:46.<\/p>\n<p><strong>25.<\/strong> An inspiration for <em>The Black Phone<\/em>\u2018s structure is John Irving\u2019s 1989 novel <em>A Prayer for Owen Meany<\/em>. The title character goes through several seemingly unrelated beats with a friend that all come together in the end. Finney\u2019s journey is similar as the individual challenges from the dead kids feel as if they\u2019re standalone moments but are actually providing Finney with the tools needed for his final fight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>26.<\/strong> \u201cShout out to Pink Floyd for letting me have the track that begins\u201d at 1:24:56. \u201cThey gave it to us immediately at a really cut rate. I fancy that they appreciate the fact that in <em>Sinister<\/em> Vincent D\u2019Onofrio is wearing a Pink Floyd shirt.\u201d They also appreciated his use of an older track for <em>Doctor Strange<\/em> (2016).<\/p>\n<p><strong>27.<\/strong> Derrickson says the axe to the head at 1:27:58 was \u201ca very difficult special effect to do.\u201d He adds that he \u201clooked at the whole history of cinema, and there just aren\u2019t any real shots of an axe going into a head on camera.\u201d They pull it off here with a combination of both practical and visual effects (not to mention a big wig), but he\u2019s right in that there aren\u2019t a lot of examples (although <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SjW0SuR_QQg\">this quick beat in 2019\u2019s <em>John Wick 3<\/em><\/a> is pretty great).<\/p>\n<p><strong>28.<\/strong> They rewrote the ending a couple times searching for the best way to close things out, and an earlier idea saw the return of the ghost kids as Finney kills The Grabber. Derrickson decided having him hear them on the phone was better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>29.<\/strong> It was Hawke\u2019s idea to have The Grabber react with panic when Finney removes his mask, and he also suggested he slide fully into the hole after he\u2019s killed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>30.<\/strong> Derrickson really believes in the test screening process \u2014 not the numbers or scores, but \u201cthe value of a test audience is to see what confuses them.\u201d For <em>The Black Phone<\/em>, test screenings revealed that over half the audiences were confused about the reveal of the two homes across the street from each other. Other areas helped by test screenings can be seeing if audiences are bored early on, finding moments of unintentional laughter, and more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>31.<\/strong> Derrickson\u2019s favorite current, still-touring band is The Brian Jonestown Massacre. He asked if they would write and record a new song for the end credits, something with a 70s vibe, and he\u2019s thrilled with the results.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"graf graf--h3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_in_Context-Free_Commentary\"><\/span>Best in Context-Free Commentary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p graf--startsWithDoubleQuote\">\u201cThe thing about North Denver in the 70s is that it was a violent place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love <em>Stranger Things<\/em>, I think it\u2019s fantastic, but it feels very much like Spielberg\u2019s representation of childhood in the 80s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love to try to tell grounded stories with the fantastical laced within them in a grounded way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy favorite thing about being a filmmaker is watching actors work and having them surprise you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love Ethan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really feel that audiences can feel when a camera movement isn\u2019t natural.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t planning on having him shirtless, but when Ethan showed up to set he was in extraordinary shape so I was like \u2018why don\u2019t we take your shirt off during this scene, it\u2019ll be even more disturbing,\u2019 and he was <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKids just need to be listened to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, horror, you know, can be very self important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he does a lot of things to these kids, but I felt the specifics of that were better left to the imagination of the audience than trying to explain any of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t ask your actors to move to the camera, move the camera to your actors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a coming of age story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s certainly the most hopeful film that I\u2019ve ever made.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"graf graf--h3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\"><em>The Black Phone<\/em> is a pretty good movie, but Derrickson gives a great commentary. As is often the case with his tracks, he keeps the commentary moving with anecdotes from the production, technical details, and observations on the ideas and inspirations that led to the film\u2019s creation and execution. He\u2019s talked before about faith, both through his films and in interviews, and he touches on some elements again here in interesting ways.
