Universal Confirms THE BLACK PHONE Will Now Release In June 2022

Universal Pictures has confirmed it is delaying the release of director Scott Derrickson’s The Black Phone. The film had originally been set to release on February 3, 2022 but will now find itself debuting in UK cinemas on June 24.

Finney Shaw, a shy but clever 13-year-old boy, is abducted by a sadistic killer 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.
