Sept. 4 (UPI) — Universal Studios released the official trailer for Black Phone 2 on Thursday. The film opens Oct. 17 in theaters. A previous trailer was released in June.<\/p>\n

After surviving 2022’s The Black Phone<\/a>, Finn (Mason Thames) is still coping with his kidnapping by The Grabber (Ethan Hawke). Having killed The Grabber in the first movie does not bring him peace.<\/p>\n

Nor does it when The Grabber starts calling Finn on another phone, explicitly angry that Finn killed him. Now a supernatural force, The Grabber is able to attack while remaining unseen by others.<\/p>\n

“You of all people know that dead is just a word,” The Grabber says. “Nothing burns like the cold.”<\/p>\n

Finn’s sister, Gwen (Madeleine McGraw) is also vulnerable to The Grabber. The Grabber attacks her with an axe in her nightmares and leads her to explore an old camp.<\/p>\n
