Mr. Harrigan's Phone is based on the Stephen King novella of the same name, which appears in the collection If It Bleeds.

The film follows Craig (Martell), a teenager who befriends Mr. Harrigan (Sutherland), a wealthy retiree. After Mr. Harrigan dies, Craig discovers that he can seemingly communicate with his friend from beyond the grave.

Kirby Howell-Baptiste and Joe Tippett also star.

Mr. Harrigan's Phone is written and directed by John Lee Hancock, with King, Ryan Murphy and Jason Blum as producers.

King called the Netflix adaptation "nothing short of brilliant" in a tweet in August.

Mr. Harrigan's Phone premieres Oct. 5.
