Scott Derrickson’s Black Phone 2 returns to the screen with a haunting sequel that delves deeper into the supernatural and psychological horror elements that captivated audiences in the original film. Set in 1982, the story follows Finney Blake, now a teenager, and his sister Gwen as they confront lingering traumas and new horrors.
The film introduces a chilling new setting—a remote Christian youth camp—where Gwen begins experiencing disturbing visions and dreams, including a ringing black payphone that connects her to the spirits of The Grabber’s previous victims. This supernatural element adds a fresh layer to the narrative, blending psychological horror with eerie dream sequences.
Ethan Hawke reprises his role as The Grabber, delivering a performance that has been compared to Freddy Krueger for a new generation. His portrayal continues to evoke fear and unease, solidifying his place as one of horror’s most memorable villains.
Critics have praised Black Phone 2 for its inventive storytelling and atmospheric tension. The film’s visual style, particularly in its dream sequences, has been highlighted as a standout feature, effectively capturing the essence of ’80s horror aesthetics.
For those eager to experience the terror firsthand, Black Phone 2 is currently playing in theaters. It is expected to be available for streaming on Peacock in late 2025, with a potential release on Amazon Prime Video in mid-2026.
