The Black Phone 2 Trailer Brings Back Ethan Hawke (With A Classic Horror Twist)

The “black phone” was a phenomenal surprise. Director Scott Derrickson and author C. Robert Cargill have previously collaborated on some killer projects, including their Breakout “Sinister” and “Black Phone” for them. The big screen takes the story of Joe Hill’s same name is still the best adaptation of Hill’s work – yes, much better than Netflix’s “Locke & Key” exhibition. It is, too, As identified /movie reviewa movie that took a “neat little horror concept actually short Novelli and was able to expand it in ways that make sense and do not know the filler. “

Derrickson and Cargill’s film is followed by Finney (Mason Thames), a young teenager, who is captured by a serial series killer known as Grabber (which Ethan Hawke has played a rather sick mask). While in captivity, Finney finds a mysterious black circular phone that allows him to communicate with other ghosts of Grabber’s murdered children.

One of the things that made the “black phone” so unique was that it worked as well as the audience -like, aging movie as a horror movie. There is also a mystery surrounding Hawke, Grabber, because the film does not try to understand or explain him too much. When Hawke told her own Jacob Hall’s movie, “We only see the way this 14-year-old child sees him. I felt that his mystery had more power. I loved that the manuscript did not explain it. To be honest, I really didn’t want to come to Jeffrey Dahmer for this or any movie.”

As such, when it was announced that Hawke returns to the sequel to Derrickson and Cargill’s “Black Phone 2”, the concern was that the film would be tempted to explain too much about the serial killer and his motives. It was also the question of how Hawke returns exactly, given that his character was very dead by the end of the first movie.

Well, “Black Phone 2 “‘s first trailer is finally here, and we now have a confirmation that the grip is not only back, but that he has also become mostly the second horror movie icon – Freddy Krueger.

“Do you think our story was over?” Grabber asks Finney about a trailer. When Finney encounters his potential killer and says he is meant to be dead, the Hawke serial killer just replies, “You, all the people, know that dead is just a word.”

Well, this is one way to continue this story. It seems that Grabber is now one who haunts the nominal black phone, and based on a movie trailer, it seems that any phone picking mainly calls his dreams of a trigger.

It’s true: dreams. Taking the page of Wes Craven’s “Nightmare Elm Street”, the catchy is now the primary finished nightmare demon who terrorizes children in a dream. We see a shot of a grab that attacks the child in the snow, then cuts into the same child in a bed that clearly has a dream and moves in a way that reflects their movements in the (dream) in the snow. Then there is a shot at the end of the trailer where we see that we have been in a part of his mask, just to reveal the damaged face below just like Freddy Krueger.

“Nightmare Elm Street” is still a horror classic (and movie stars know why)Still, 15 years since we last saw on Freddy Krueger’s screen. If nothing else, this is the closest that we have received the beloved franchise alarm since 2010, and we do not have a bad source of inspiration for a surprise hit.

“Black Phone 2” will open in theaters on October 17, 2025.
