Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson is returning to Blumhouse for Joe Hill adaptation The Black Phone.

The movie based on Hill’s 2004 novella contained in his 20th Century Ghosts collection, and is about John Finney, who is locked in a basement that’s stained with the blood of half a dozen other murdered children. In the cellar with him is an antique telephone, long since disconnected, but which rings at night with calls from the dead…

Mason Thames and Madeleine McGraw will star; the script will be by Derrickson and Robert Cargill.
