From returning visionary writer-director Scott Derrickson and Blumhouse Productions comes Black Phone 2, the chilling new chapter in the global horror phenomenon that terrified audiences worldwide.
Four 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.
Four-time Academy Award nominee Ethan Hawke returns 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 and seeing disturbing visions of three 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 and more significant to them than either could imagine.
Expanding the universe while introducing a bold new story, Black Phone 2 is not just a sequel but a deeply original continuation that delves further into the mythos of fear, family, and redemption.
The cast includes Oscar® nominee Demián Bichir (The Nun, A Better Life) as the camp’s supervisor, Arianna Rivas (A Working Man) as his niece, Miguel Mora (The Black Phone) as the brother of one of the Grabber’s victims, and Jeremy Davies, returning as Finn and Gwen’s father, Terrence. New additions Maev Beaty (Beau Is Afraid) and Graham Abbey (Under the Banner of Heaven) round out the ensemble.
Written by Scott Derrickson & C. Robert Cargill, based on characters created by Joe Hill, the film is produced by Jason Blum, Scott Derrickson, and C. Robert Cargill, with executive producers Joe Hill, Adam Hendricks, and Ryan Turek.
Universal Pictures and Blumhouse’s The Black Phone (2022) received widespread critical acclaim and grossed over $160 million worldwide. With Black Phone 2, Derrickson and Blumhouse return to the shadows – inviting audiences to discover the secret behind the mask.
