Summary
- Sequel set in 2025 shifts to snowbound holiday camp
- Finney and Gwen drawn by dreams from dead mother
- Grabber (Ethan Hawke) returns despite being killed in first film
In 2025, the highly anticipated sequel to the harrowing child abduction film Black Phone has arrived. Black Phone 2 shifts the setting from 1980s small-town America to a snowbound holiday camp, where the traumatized siblings Finney and Gwen have been drawn by dreams sent by their dead mother.
The mystery deepens as the film explores the camp's dark history, including murders that occurred there in 1957. At the center of it all is the return of the terrifying villain known as the Grabber, played once again by Ethan Hawke. This is puzzling, as Finney had killed the Grabber in the first movie.
As the story unfolds, the dream sequences take on a Nightmare on Elm Street-like quality, with a nostalgic, almost cozy feel that quickly turns into a nightmarish prison. Hawke's chilling performance as the Grabber, combined with the film's atmospheric cinematography, creates a sense of unease that permeates the entire narrative.
Ultimately, Black Phone 2 is a cathartic coming-of-age tale that weaves a complex, supernatural mystery around the traumatized siblings. With a satisfying finale, the sequel promises to deliver another harrowing yet compelling chapter in this thrilling horror franchise.
