That Film Stew Ep 606 - Black Phone 2 (Review)

Directed by Scott Derrickson, Black Phone 2 is the supernatural horror film which serves as a sequel to The Black Phone (2021). As Finn (Mason Thames), now 17, struggles with life after his captivity, the headstrong 15-year-old Gwen (Madeleine McGraw) begins receiving calls in her dreams from the black phone and seeing disturbing visions of three boys being stalked at a winter camp known as Alpine Lake. Determined to solve the mystery and end the torment for both her and her brother, Gwen persuades Finn to visit the camp during a winter storm. There, she uncovers a shattering intersection between The Grabber (Ethan Hawke) and her own family's history. We break down all things from Super 8 dream sequences, supernatural child murderers, to Elm Street similarities.
