This completion is Dream Warriors Good (Fantastic Fest)

The 2021 Scott Deck Phone horror movie was a big surprise: a short -haired story in 2004 bearing the same name written by Joe Hill, who achieved great with the public fans, and for a good reason. The film was scary and enjoyable, with a big heart, great laughter, an incredible evil mask. It included prominent shows of Ethan Hawk as horror letters, and the Times Masson as the latest kidnapping victims, Feni Blake, and Madeleine McGaru as the sister of Viny, Gwen. It was a film with a clear and final end, as the content of leaving his mark and ending with an exclamation point instead of insulting.

Logical continuation, of course, from a commercial point of view. Not only the “Black Phone” hit the box officeBut Ethan Hawk in The Grabber had such existence and strong icons he felt as if it were the next big horror Baddie, estimated to be affected by many sequences. Well, four years have passed, but we finally got a follow-up with a good story enough to persuade all those involved to return to more.

“Black Phone 2” is a great supplement. It is not satisfied with doing the same thing, just larger, but in reality it explores new ways and adds to the first movie experience in sudden ways that make the comprehensive story better. It was a great year for horror, and we should add “Black Phone 2” to that conversation.

From the beginning, “Black Phone 2” indicates to the audience that it will not be a simple repetition of the first movie plot. Director Scott Dexon and screenwriter C. Robert Cargill is a completely different movie that it stands out on his own, while it was an improvement in his predecessor in almost everything.

It begins with a shift in the protagonist to McGraw’s GWEN, the funniest person in the first movie. After the entire trauma of the shock with Grabber, her brother became quieter and more conservative, and chose to bury his shocks and feelings in his depths and numb himself with herbs to ignore what happened to him. Meanwhile, Goen’s visions have become worse in the years since the first movie. She considers her ability to curse, and has turned it into a social outlet in the school. However, she cannot completely ignore what he seems to call for the help of dead children who appear to her in visions of a Christian camp snowy her mother when she was young.

Determination of determination to reach the source of her visions, and finding the relationship between them and her mother, Join decided to go to the Camp Camp Mountains for investigation. Vinnie goes with Join to protect her, because her visions also cause her a sleeping corridor. Accompanied by Ernesto (Miguel Mora), Robin’s brother, one of the seizure victims before he took Vinnie.

Obviously, focusing on dreams will attract many comparisons with the “Nightmare on ELM Street” series, for a good reason. There are similarities and clear consent with this privilege, especially The Phenomenal “A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors”Nightmares bleed in the real world, and the rulers have some strength on their dreams, and there is a shift that takes the battle to the villain. In addition, Ethan Hawk directs Robert Engelond by converting the award to Freddy Kruger – complete with face scars and capabilities that allow him to influence both the real dream world.

Whenever we get a Dream sequence in “Black Phone 2”, it is presented with significantly popular shots, as if it was filmed on Super 8, which reminds us of Derskson and Cargill for the year 2012 “Sinister” (also starring Hawke). Video images give the sequence of dreams, reactionary and tangible aesthetic, you feel a little on. The sound design is the dialogue to clarify this dream – a real dream, with very real consequences as soon as Grabber returns and continues the attack – but it still serves as a dream.

“Black Phone 2” is only satisfied with preparation, but “Black Phone 2” also praises other Slasher icons in the 1980s. There is a very clear signal to “Friday 13” with the preparation of the camp and the murderer who is chasing adolescents. This is a more amazing movie, sometimes more than the first movie, with horrific pictures of children who brutally killed, including one with his heads in half and this is Gorier than the first movie.

The most impressive “Black Phone 2” launches is to find a way to repeat Grabber who feels coherent and actually adds to the character. We get some rear cells to cut the child that appears as deepening the character and not just Answer the questions that no one has asked.

It is very similar to the first film, there is a great sense of humor in “Black Phone 2”, especially when it comes to amazing Juvenile notes on power figures (the Christian Youth Camp makes some very influential confrontations between Joe and some non -Christian Christian Christians). But it is Ernesto from Miguel Mora who gets some of the biggest laughter, and works as a great addition to actors. Likewise, by expanding the range of the range to be around many missing dead children and even Join and Join, the film becomes very emotional in time, with moments of tenderness between darkness and terror.

Does “Black Phone 2” indicate a greater concession? no. Does it end in a way that opens more? Not real. Do you want to see about 5 of these, so that we can reach “The Black Phone: New Phone” and Grabber followed Ethan Hawk playing himself? definitely.

/Film classification: 9 out of 10.

“Black Phone 2” will connect to theaters from October 17, 2025.
