The Black Phone: Ethan Hawke on Finding The Grabber Through His Masks

Whereas Hawke plays a character trying to save his family from a malevolent entity in Sinister, The Black Phone challenges him to tap into the darker side of a horrific scenario by playing the villain. Hawke is The Grabber in The Black Phone, a man kidnapping children in a small town in Denver in the 1970s. However, The Grabber may have met his match in his latest target, Finney played by Mason Thames. Initially, the situation seems hopeless with Finney trapped in a soundproof basement, but then he realizes he has the ability to communicate with The Grabber’s past victims using a disconnected phone on the wall.
