Four years after the events in The Black Phone, teenager Finn (Regretting You’s Mason Thames) and his younger sister Gwen (Madeleine McGraw) are still experiencing PTSD from their encounter with The Grabber (Ethan Hawke). He’s long dead, so it’s a huge surprise when, at an isolated camp blanketed by snow, Finn receives a phone call from his deceased enemy. The Grabber is angry that he’s dead, and somehow, he’s reaching from beyond the grave to get his revenge by trying to kill Finn and Gwen. Can Finn once again vanquish The Grabber, this time for good?
A success at the box office, this 2025 sequel plunges firmly into supernatural territory by turning The Grabber into a Freddy Krueger copycat. The shameless stealing from other, more popular horror movies works, making Black Phone 2 a surprisingly scary horror movie that’s more effective than the original.
Black Phone will stream on January 16 on Peacock.
