Black Phone 2’s Confirmation Is Even More Exciting Following Scott Derrickson’s Sequel Promise

The Black Phone 2‘s confirmation is even more exciting following writer-director Scott Derrickson’s sequel promise. Released in 2021, the original film is an adaptation of Joe Hill’s short story of the same name. Much like Hill’s source material, The Black Phone infuses the story of a serial child abductor, The Grabber (Ethan Hawke), with supernatural elements. Set in 1978, the film centers on siblings Finney (Mason Thames) and Gwen (Madeleine McGraw), the latter of whom has psychic visions about the children kidnapped by The Grabber. After a string of abductions hits close to home, The Grabber eventually takes Finney, who wakes up in a soundproofed basement.
