Black Phone 2 : Get ready to answer the call of terror once more. The sequel The Black Phone 2 picks up where the first film left off—and then crosses into new, chilling territory. Directed by Scott Derrickson (who also co-wrote it with C. Robert Cargill), this movie shows that some nightmares don’t end when the villain dies.
Black Phone 2 Story
Four years after young Finney escapes his captor, the masked murderer known as “The Grabber” appears to transcend death itself. In the first film, 13-year-old Finney (played by Mason Thames) managed to flee from The Grabber. Now at age 17, Finney is still haunted by what happened. His younger sister Gwen (Madeleine McGraw) begins receiving strange calls in her dreams and terrifying visions of three boys being stalked at a winter camp called Alpine Lake. Together, the siblings set out to face the terror once again—traveling to the camp during a snow storm, uncovering a link between The Grabber and their family’s past. The tagline: “What happens if you die in your sleep?” hints at the sinister new angle of supernatural horror.
