A Zombie Grabber Haunts Us in the BLACK PHONE 2 Trailer

Literally and metaphorically, we have the chills after watching this Black Phone 2 trailer. It’s taking us to a whole new icy location, but that’s not really what has shivers running up and down our spine. No, it’s seeing Ethan Hawke’s Grabber return in an even scarier, disintegrating kind of form… Basically, we’re dealing with the zombie version of The Grabber, and we don’t like it at all. Also, hearing Ethan Hawke’s voice once again hit that terrifying register and cadence in Black Phone 2’s trailer, truly welcomes the menace into the room with us.

The Black Phone 2 offers quite a hefty synopsis of what we can expect from this sequel movie. But all of those words do not begin to do justice to the fear Black Phone 2‘s trailer creates—so we suggest you definitely give it a watch. (Or two, if you’re brave enough.)

Here’s what The Black Phone 2‘s synopsis lets us know:

Four years ago, 13-year-old Finn killed his abductor and escaped, becoming the sole survivor of The Grabber. But true evil transcends death … and the phone is ringing again. 

Four-time Academy Award^® nominee Ethan Hawke returns to the most sinister role of his career as The Grabber seeks vengeance on Finn (Mason Thames) from beyond the grave by menacing Finn’s younger sister, Gwen (Madeleine McGraw). 

As Finn, now 17, struggles with life after his captivity, the headstrong 15-year-old Gwen 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 and her own family’s history. Together, she and Finn must confront a killer who has grown more powerful in death and more significant to them than either could imagine.

An intersection between The Grabber and Finn’s family? We don’t like that. And we like The Grabber becoming even more powerful in death even less. We get a feeling the perils in Black Phone 2‘s trailer are just the beginning. We are terrified (but excited) to find out more when Black Phone 2 releases on October 17.
