Hello Finney. Did you think our story was over?
The phone is ringing again in the Ontario-filmed sequel to Blumhouse’s horror phenomenon The Black Phone.
As Finn, now 17, struggles with life after his captivity, his sister 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.
Ethan Hawke (The Grabber), Mason Thames (Finney), Madeleine McGraw (Gwen Blake), Miguel Mora (Robin Arellano) and Jeremy Davies (Terrence Blake) all returned for Black Phone 2.

The original movie starred 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.
