‘Black Phone 2’ Review: Supernatural Slasher Meets Christian After-School Special in Scott Derrickson’s Highly Anticipated Sequel [Fantastic Fest 2025]Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill are a match made in hell, a devilish duo responsible for Sinister (once declared the scariest movie of all time), The Exorcism of Emily Rose, and The Black Phone. With The Black Phone, they crafted their own creepy villain deemed worthy of a franchise. Now, the Grabber is back in the bizarre new sequel Black Phone 2, which had its world premiere at Fantastic Fest 2025. The cherry on top of this supernatural slasher is a score by Atticus Derrickson, son of Scott Derrickson. Black Phone 2 is part after-school special, part gonzo A Nightmare Elm Street sequel set in the snow.
