The story of the masked man ain’t over yet. 4 years ago, 13-year-old Finn killed his abductor and escaped, becoming the sole survivor of The Grabber. But true evil transcends death… and the phone is ringing again. Will you answer? Following the blockbuster success of Blumhouse’s 2022 horror hit, which earned more than $160M worldwide and global acclaim, Universal announces the launch of a sinister new franchise with the release of Black Phone 2. So “The Grabber” has more plans? Ethan Hawke, Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw, Jeremy Davies, & Miguel Mora all return for this sequel, again directed by Scott Derrickson. Looks like a big upgrade! Going all out, turning this into the next A Nightmare on Elm Street series, with twisted phone booth-related horror of all kinds. 📞

Here’s the first official trailer (+ poster) for Scott Derrickson’s horror sequel Black Phone 2, via YouTube:

Ethan Hawke is returning to the most sinister role of his career as The Grabber seeks vengeance on Finn (Mason Thames) from beyond the grave by menacing Finn’s younger sister, Gwen (Madeleine McGraw). As Finn, now 17, struggles with life after his captivity, the headstrong 15-year-old Gwen begins receiving calls in her dreams from the black phone & seeing disturbing visions of 3 boys being stalked at a winter camp known as Alpine Lake. Determined to solve the mystery and end the torment for both her and her brother, Gwen persuades Finn to visit the camp during a winter storm. There, she uncovers a shattering intersection between The Grabber and her own family’s history. Together, she and Finn must confront a killer who has grown more powerful in death & even more significant to them than either could imagine.
