The Black Phone XL-SZkk-a6 Collector's Edition DVD, NTSC

NTSC DVD format gives this Collector’s Edition a physical-disc option for watching The Black Phone at home. Its 1 hour and 44 minute runtime makes it a focused pick for a suspense movie night.

Ethan Hawke stars as the Grabber, a masked killer who abducts Finney, a shy but resourceful teenager. When a disconnected phone starts ringing in the basement where Finney is held, the voices on the other end may offer him a way to fight back.

The edition also includes bonus features for viewers who want to spend more time with the film and its production. It brings the feature and behind-the-scenes material together on DVD.

Size & fit

The DVD measures 7.46 x 5.23 x 0.56 inches, a compact physical format for a movie collection or a shelf of horror favorites. Its NTSC DVD format is suited to viewers who want this film on disc rather than choosing a digital viewing option. Check that your playback setup supports NTSC DVDs before watching.

The story centers on Finney’s attempt to escape and Gwen’s determination to find her brother. That dual focus brings a family connection into the thriller: Finney faces danger directly, while Gwen follows her own visions in search of him. The setup suits viewers looking for supernatural touches alongside a tense abduction story, rather than a horror film built only around shocks.

Benefits

The ringing phone gives the story its central mystery. Finney hears from the killer’s previous victims, whose warnings and guidance help him look for a way out. That makes the film’s suspense depend on both the threat in the basement and what Finney can learn from the calls.

The Collector’s Edition adds deleted scenes, a behind-the-scenes feature, “Ethan Hawke’s Evil Turn,” “Devil in the Design,” “Super 8 Set,” the short film “Shadowprowler,” and feature commentary by producer, co-writer, and director Scott Derrickson. These extras offer different ways to revisit the film, from production details to commentary on its creative choices.

Customers often highlight the suspense, the performances—particularly those of the young cast and Ethan Hawke—and a story they enjoy revisiting. For someone deciding between a straightforward movie night and a disc edition with additional material, the bonus features give this release extra viewing content beyond the film itself.
