‘The Black Phone’ director says he’s ‘chewing on’ sequel ideas

One of the riskiest moves in horror is capitalizing on the success of an original movie by creating a less-than-favorable sequel — and while some horror sequels like Ouija: Origin of Evil and Evil Dead II are unequivocally superior to their predecessors, other horror movie sequels have notably failed to match the hype. And despite supernatural horror The Black Phone achieving commercial and critical success, director Scott Derrickson is now being faced with the decision to give the film a sequel or not.

While speaking with Screen Rant, Derrickson noted that while the demand for a sequel is understandable, he’s not in a rush to give a sequel a green light without first deciding if the follow-up film will be as great as the original.
