Black Phone 2 (2025) – The Dead Are Still Calling

They escaped the Grabber. But something worse just picked up.

“Black Phone 2 (2025)” returns to the terrifying universe of supernatural voices and unfinished vengeance. Directed again by Scott Derrickson, the sequel continues the story two years after Finney Blake's dramatic escape from The Grabber — only this time, the horrors return through a new line, a new voice, and a new victim.

The film centers on Gwen Blake (Madeleine McGraw), now a high school student who’s begun to suffer violent visions again — visions of children who’ve gone missing, and a masked figure haunting her dreams. When a mysterious new disappearance hits her neighborhood, Gwen begins receiving calls on the long-silent black phone, even though it was supposedly destroyed.

At the same time, a boy named Eli — shy, quiet, and recently orphaned — begins to hear whispers through static in his foster home’s basement. Drawn to the same cursed line, he and Gwen must uncover the identity of a new killer: someone inspired by The Grabber… but darker, more methodical, and somehow more connected to the dead.

“Black Phone 2” masterfully builds on the mythology of the first film, introducing more ghostly voices, each with a personal story and a clue toward survival. The eerie, vintage tone returns: flickering lights, crackling static, and rooms that seem to breathe. But this time, the past doesn’t just call — it reaches out to pull you under.

With its blend of supernatural horror and emotional depth, “Black Phone 2 (2025)” explores the ripple effects of trauma and the fragile connection between the living and the dead. Madeleine McGraw shines as Gwen, balancing fear, strength, and intuition in a performance that anchors this chilling continuation.
