Black Phone 2

As far as improbable sequels go, "Black Phone 2" isn't too bad.

Revive a deceased bad guy you would have thought was done with and craft a tale that feels somewhat like the first film, blended with an almost "Nightmare on Elm Street" premise.

I have to say these elements combined with a dash of nostalgia from the 80's works, quite well. Sure its not A grade horror but its still creative, creepy and above all, entertaining.

In summary, a not unfamiliar but still well crafted tale of revenge from beyond the grave. Worth a look....

**One of the best horror sequels that will go down as an instant classic in a couple of years**

I already feel like this film doesn't get enough praise for blending multiple horror franchises together, but still delivering something brand new that fits in the same world as the original film.

To add to his sleeplessness, his sister “Gwen” (also still Madeleine McGraw) is having some fairly torturous nightmares that, coupled with some sleep-walking, are unsettling both of them. Determined to find out what is causing these traumas, they hook up with her fellow Duran Duran fan “...

It was just okay. First one was better. I understand that horror movies aren't realistic usually, but this one was way too much unrealistic unlike first part....

Black Phone (2025) shifts its horror focus from confinement to lingering trauma, revealing that Finn’s past terror never truly faded with time. As supernatural threats blur with internal fears, the film explores grief, denial, and inherited wounds rather than pure physical danger. While solid in character development and atmosphere, its reduced focus on the phone itself and unanswered questions leave the story feeling more like a bridge than a full reckoning.
