Film Review: Black Phone 2 (2025)

A horror sequel directed by Scott Derrickson, written by Joe Hill, Scott Derrickson, and C. Robert Cargill, starring Ethan Hawke, suffers due to too few scenes featuring Ethan Hawke's "The Grabber".

The movie, which also stars Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw, and Jeremy Davies, lacks focus and includes a series of needless scenes.

Over a decade ago, Scott Derrickson directed a masterpiece called Sinister, one of the best horror movies of all-time.

Author's summary: Black Phone 2 lacks focus and relies too little on Ethan Hawke's character.
