The Grabber (Ethan Hawke) is resurrected for more kid-stalking mayhem in Black Phone 2.
Yet Scott Derrickson’s icy sequel plays by considerably different rules than its 2021 predecessor. Taking a decidedly Nightmare on Elm Street-ish tack (with a healthy dash of Friday the 13th thrown in for good measure), the writer/director’s 1982-set follow-up (in theaters now) operates in a sinister slumbering haze that enhances its dark fantasticality.
