The first one was so good and it didn’t even meet half the expectations.

While I enjoyed the first one more, I did appreciate this one. It felt a bit “Nightmare on Elm Street” at times but not in a cheap way. Overall, really great.

Some scenes were heart-pounding but overall felt too slow and mediocre. The relationships between the characters were pretty heart-warming though

I loved everything about it except Madeleine McGraw. Either she’s a terrible actress or this was not a good fit for her bc i couldnt take her seriously.

If The Black Phone dabbles in crimes that are taboo, even unforgivable in its depiction of brutality against innocent children, Black Phone 2 commits its own unforgivable crime of being dreadfully boring. This movie is a snooze — and not just because all of the action takes place entirely during Gwen’s dreams.

The sequel loses the small-scale, intense focus in favor of The Conjuring-level supernatural effects and action. At its best, it’s much scarier than the first movie. But it also comes with a level of full-on action-goofiness that Derrickson and Cargill avoided in Black Phone.

A complaint that’s also common to contemporary horror films nags at The Black Phone 2, in that all of the best things about this movie come from other movies, whether they be the creative team’s previous efforts or iconic titles from decades past.
