With The Black Phone releasing soon, Ethan Hawke has been promoting the horror movie lately. In an interview with /Film, he spoke about what makes a film in the genre separate itself from the bad and become something worthy of the scares.
The upcoming horror movie pushed Ethan Hawke into one of his darkest roles. He plays a serial killer who abducted his latest victim, played by Mason Thames (For All Mankind). The boy must figure out a way to free himself, and he finds help from the ghosts of past victims. The story is based on the short story by Joe Hill, the son of Stephen King, who has become a master of all things spooky like his father.
