Scott Derrickson has killed a lot of people. And a surprising amount of them have been children. Okay, no, Derrickson hasn’t actually killed people, but he has imagined many deaths and put them on screen, including the three mutilated tykes murdered by the Grabber in his most recent movie Black Phone 2<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black Phone 2 <\/em>is off to a pretty great start at the box office, which means that there’s already talk about a third entry in the series. And with it, Derrickson is setting up his boundaries, indicating the lines he won’t cross for his next movie.

So let\u2019s just do that again,” he mused, by way of example. “That\u2019s the only thing I couldn\u2019t do.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\r\n\n\t\t
