Every Scott Derrickson Horror Movie Ranked Worst To Best (Including Black Phone)
Director Scott Derrickson's newest horror movie The Black Phone is making waves, so it's time to look at his horror films as a whole and see how they rank against one another. Based on a short story from Joe Hill, The Black Phone is a supernatural story of an abducted child fighting back against his kidnapper with the help of the spirits of the killer's prior victims. Surprisingly, this is the project Derrickson took on after he opted to leave Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. While many would scoff at that decision, The Black Phone is getting great reviews so far.
The Black Phone represents Derrickson's return to the genre that made him a big enough name to get offered the job directing Doctor Strange in the first place. Derrickson burst onto the big screen with 2012's Sinister, which also featured Black Phone star and notable horror movie actor Ethan Hawke. In the years since he's directed five more films, including The Black Phone, only two of which left the horror genre behind. In some ways Derrickson can be considered a bit of a horror master, although he himself does not seem to want that label.
