Ethan Hawke as The Grabber in The Black Phone, directed by Scott Derrickson.
In his new movie, The Black Phone,Ethan Hawke plays completely against type by portraying a serial killer who terrorizes children.

So, why did he decide to join the film? He told us he felt a lot better about things after he read the script and found that he wouldn’t be showing his face.
