One fan poster for The Black Phone has a crossover with the poster for Sinister, another one of Ethan Hawke’s well-known horror flicks. The new film is an adaptation of Joe Hill’s short story of the same name, which was published in 2004 and directed by Scott Derrickson, who also co-wrote the screenplay for the project.

It takes place in the 1970s and focuses on the kidnapping of a young boy who, after being held captive in a soundproofed underground with nothing but a disconnected phone, realizes that the gadget enables him to contact his kidnapper’s former victims. The Black Phone was published on June 24, 2022, and since then, Ethan Hawke’s depiction of the serial killer known as the Grabber has earned him both public fright and critical praise.
In A New Piece Of Art, Black Phone Meets Hawke’s Scariest Horror Film
Hawke plays a father and struggling true-crime writer in the horror film Sinister (2012), which Derrickson also directs. In this role, Hawke plays a character who inadvertently puts his entire family in danger when he discovers a set of video tapes depicting gruesome murders and the demonic figure Bughuul in his home.
The movie was met with mostly favorable reviews and has amassed a cult following in the years after its initial release; nevertheless, some viewers think that The Black Phone, comparable to the film in many respects, is even more terrifying. In June, Ethan Hawke compared Sinister and The Black Phone. He said that the new movie’s screenplay was superior to that of The Black Phone and praised the director, Scott Derrickson, for his more excellent artistry this time.
Hawke’s Worst Horror Film Crosses Over With Black Phone In New Artwork
Now, fan and artist Bosslogic has shared on Instagram a poster for The Black Phone that has a remarkable similarity to the artwork for Sinister. Bosslogic’s sign for The Black Phone can be seen here. The user explains that the Black Phone was giving off sinister “vibes” in the description for the image. Have a look at the flyer down here:
Since the publication of The Black Phone, people have made some subtle analogies between it and Sinister.
It is most prevalent when discussing its dream sequences, which seem comparable to the recordings discovered in Ellison Oswalt’s house.
Because both The Black Phone and Sinister behave and have the same qualities, another theory suggests they exist in the same realm.
Both Bughuul and the Grabber prey on the anxieties of minor children to kidnap their victims, and their physical characteristics are more like to one another than dissimilar.
Even though it’s unclear whether these two movies are connected, it’s clear that The Black Phone is bringing back memories of Derrickson and Hawke’s last film for many of the audience members who saw it. This fan poster does an excellent job of capturing that sentiment. It will be fascinating to see whether either of the creative teams makes any reference to the parallels to Sinister. Check out The Black Phone if you liked the horror film in 2012 or if you want to watch Ethan Hawke in an adversarial role. The film is now playing in theatres.
