Director- Scott Derrickson
Release Date- October 17, 2025
Ethan Hawke’s excellent performance was the big highlight in the original Black Phone. Hawke’s The Grabber was a villain, who was equal parts creepy and menacing, and the mask was the perfect accessory.
Heavy Freddy Krueger-esque vibes for the sequel. They’re going with the supernatural route for The Grabber, and the snowy setting looks like a good fit for this one. Considering the fact that The Grabber is now able to attack his victims in their dreams, I’m guessing this won’t be a one and done sequel.
I honestly don’t have a problem with the possibility of more Black Phone films. Of course, keeping the core together is important. After the original Sinister and the first Black Phone film, it’s easy to see Scott Derrickson and Ethan Hawke’s potential as a promising actor/director duo. On the writing side of things, if Robert Cargill is still involved with the scripts, we’re hopefully looking at a horror franchise that won’t completely fall off the rails after two films.
