Four years ago, 13-year-old Finn (now 17, played by Mason Thames) became the sole survivor of the sinister abductor known as “The Grabber.” But true evil, as Finn is about to discover, transcends death. Four-time Academy Award nominee Ethan Hawke returns to his most sinister role as “The Grabber” in The Black Phone 2. He now seeks vengeance from the afterlife, tormenting Finn’s headstrong 15-year-old younger sister, Gwen (Madeleine McGraw).
As Finn struggles to cope with the trauma of his captivity, his sister Gwen begins receiving chilling calls in her dreams from the infamous black phone. This leads to disturbing visions of three boys being stalked at a remote winter camp known as Alpine Lake.
Gwen persuades Finn to join her on a dangerous visit to the camp during a fierce winter storm. There, they uncover a connection between “The Grabber” and their own family’s dark history. Together, the siblings must confront a killer who has grown more powerful in death.
Visionary writer-director Scott Derrickson returns to the horror phenomenon, once again co-writing the script with C. Robert Cargill, based on characters created by Joe Hill. The film is produced by horror titan Jason Blum, alongside Derrickson and Cargill.
Fan favorites returning to the franchise include Mason Thames as Finn, Madeleine McGraw as Gwen, and Jeremy Davies as their father, Terrence.
They are joined by Oscar nominee Demián Bichir (The Nun, A Better Life) as the camp supervisor, Arianna Rivas (A Working Man) as his niece, Miguel Mora (from the original The Black Phone), Maev Beaty (Beau is Afraid), and Graham Abbey (Under the Banner of Heaven).
The Black Phone, released in 2022, was a box office smash for Universal Pictures and Blumhouse, earning widespread critical acclaim and grossing over $160 million worldwide. The sequel is set to raise the stakes—and the body count. The Black Phone 2 will arrive exclusively in theaters on October 17. Get your tickets now!
