A Haunting Continuation of “The Black Phone”
Set four years after the original, The Black Phone 2 follows Finney (Mason Thames), now 17, and his sister Gwen (Madeleine McGraw), 15.

A Glimpse into the Supernatural
The trailer showcases Derrickson’s signature blend of psychological horror and supernatural elements. With eerie visuals reminiscent of his earlier work in Sinister, the film explores themes of trauma, familial bonds, and the lingering presence of evil. The Grabber’s return as a spectral entity adds a new layer of terror, blurring the lines between reality and nightmare.
Anticipation Builds
Following the original film’s success, which grossed over $160 million worldwide, expectations are high for the sequel. Fans eagerly await the continuation of Finney and Gwen’s story, as they face new horrors and uncover deeper secrets.
