In 2021, the world was introduced to the terrifying tale of 'The Black Phone', an adaptation of Joe Hill's short story. With a modest budget, the film became a box office success, leaving audiences wanting more. Fast forward to October 2023, and 'Black Phone 2' hit the big screen, raking in over $100 million worldwide. Now, it's time for the digital release, and we're celebrating with an exclusive behind-the-scenes look!
The original creative duo, Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill, have returned to write and direct this sequel. They've crafted a story that picks up where the first left off, with Mason Thames reprising his role as the brave Finney Shaw. This time, we see Finney, now 17, struggling with the aftermath of his captivity, while his younger sister, Gwen (played by Madeleine McGraw), becomes the target of The Grabber's sinister plans from beyond the grave. Ethan Hawke, who portrayed the child-killer in the first film, is back to deliver another chilling performance.
The cast also welcomes new additions, including Demián Bichir and Anna Lore, who bring their unique talents to this spine-tingling thriller. The official synopsis teases a gripping story where Gwen and Finn must unravel a dark mystery and confront a killer who has become even more powerful in death.
'Black Phone 2' offers a range of bonus features, including deleted scenes, a cast spotlight, and a look at the incredible creative process behind the film's intense and grotesque elements. It's a must-watch for fans of the original and those who enjoy a good scare.
