NIGHT TWENTY-EIGHT: Black Phone 2 (2025)

BLACK PHONE 2

(2025, dir. Scott Derrickson, 114 min.)

Starring Ethan Hawke, Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw

Went into this one barely remembering anything beyond the broad strokes of THE BLACK PHONE (a movie I liked, but didn't necessarily wow me) and came away impressed at how effectively it built on the dangling plot threads from the first movie, while also expanding on the themes in a way that was narratively satisfying.
