Scott Derrickson compares making DoctorStrange and TheBlackPhone ...
After making Sinister and Deliver Us From Evil, Scott Derrickson made the leap to big, big budget filmmaking for Marvel's Doctor Strange. After that, it was back to lower budget horror films for The Black Phone. It sounds like a bit of filmmaking whiplash there, right? According to Derrickson, it was in a sense, but no matter the budget, there is one similarity that all of his films share.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY In celebration of The Black Phone’s debut, I got the chance to chat with Derrickson about his experience making the film. We began by digging into what it was like making the move from a $200 million Marvel movie back to a smaller, far more contained horror film. Here’s what he said:
The Black Phone is largely Finney’s story, and Derrickson and his writing partner, C. Robert Cargill, stick to it by leaving much of The Grabber’s backstory a mystery. The duo essentially hit the optimal balance between sparking curiosity without leaving the viewing wanting and using that mystery to up the terror.
