Review: Black Phone 2
Ethan Hawke returns in Scott Derrickson's horror sequel, alongside Mason Thames and Madeleine McGraw, as they fight The Grabber in Universal's chiller.
- Director: Scott Derrickson
- Runtime: 114 minutes
- Set in 1982, four years after the events of The Black Phone (2021)
The story takes place in a snowy Christian holiday camp in rural Colorado, with the same characters and narrative focus as the first film.
The narrative stays tightly focused on the elements that worked so well in the first film; the unsettling menace of a child killer and a beyond-the-grave plotline augmented with gooey special effects.
Although it remains a creepy and fun experience, the sequel suffers from diminishing returns by retreading familiar ground.
Author's summary: A horror sequel with familiar story and characters.
