Ethan Hawke at all times places his all into no matter film he’s doing, so it was attention-grabbing to see him painting The Grabber, a very evil bastard who abducts and kills youngsters. However I’m undecided any of us anticipated the movie to go the franchise route, and that’s exactly what they’re doing. Regardless of him being killed off within the first movie (spoilers, I suppose) we’ve received him again for spherical 2. And this time, he’s received a very supernatural bend to him. I suppose if any sequence goes to go that route, the one the place a killer’s victims are nonetheless accessible through phone line is prime for it. I used to be by no means a large fan of the primary Black Cellphone, however now that they’re going the over-the-top Freddy Krueger route, I’m all in!
Now, we’re getting a have a look at the second trailer for The Black Cellphone 2 and so they’re persevering with the very Nightmare on Elm Road vibes. Particularly with the road, “What do you think happens, when you die in a dream? It’s time to find out.” The truth that they’re together with a youth camp additionally offers the movie a Friday the thirteenth/Sleepaway Camp aesthetic that I’ll at all times be a fan of.
For those who haven’t been maintaining with the movie: Ethan Hawke returns to probably the most sinister position of his profession as The Grabber seeks vengeance on Finn (Mason Thames) from past the grave by menacing Finn’s youthful 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 desires from the black telephone and seeing disturbing visions of three boys being stalked at a winter camp generally known as Alpine Lake. Decided to unravel the thriller and finish the torment for each her and her brother, Gwen persuades Finn to go to the camp throughout a winter storm. There, she uncovers a shattering intersection between The Grabber and her family’s historical past. Collectively, she and Finn should confront a killer who has grown extra highly effective in demise and extra important to them than both might think about.
