It’s clear from the existence and execution of “Black Phone 2” that Universal and Blumhouse never expected 2021’s “The Black Phone” to be a hit. If there was an inkling this might have been more than a quick and dirty ‘70s-style riff on a boogeyman tale, there’s no way those in charge would have let their big baddie, the Grabber, be killed off at the end of the movie.

But a hit it was, and so for a sequel, the supernatural elements must be spun out, and ‘80s slasher classics consulted, especially since it’s now four years later, in 1982. Masked serial killer the Grabber, played by Ethan Hawke (apparently, we never really see his face though we do hear his voice), continues to haunt, torment, and maim children, despite the inconvenience of death.
