Blumhouse unveiled the first poster and trailer for "The Black Phone," the highly-anticipated sequel to the 2021 supernatural horror film that grossed $161M globally, at the CCXP Festival in Mexico City on Sunday.
The 2021 movie starred four-time Academy Award nominee Ethan Hawke, as a child abductor and murderer called the Grabber, and Mason Thames, a 13-year-old boy named Finney who crosses the killer’s path.
The Grabber locks Finney in a soundproof basement, where nobody can hear him or come to his rescue.
The only item is the basement is a disconnected telephone that begins ringing. When Finney answers it, he realizes he’s able to communicate with the spirits of the Grabber’s deceased victims.
The kids’ ghosts teach Finney how to survive and fight back, and he’s able to escape the Grabber’s clutches in the end.
In the sequel, the Grabber seeks vengeance on Finn from beyond the grave by menacing Finn’s younger sister, Gwen (Madeleine McGraw)
