MOVIE NEWS – Journalists across the U.S. received a terrifying text message: “Hello, [name], the phone is ringing again. Will you pick up?”

The message came with a black-and-white video of three frightened boys. The sender’s number led nowhere — it felt like something straight out of a horror film. And that’s exactly what it was: a stunt for Black Phone 2.

Shortly afterward, a follow-up explained the message was part of the film’s marketing campaign. The sequel sees the return of the Grabber (Ethan Hawke) from beyond the grave, once again putting the original characters and new victims in danger.

This time, the mystery surrounding the Grabber is unraveled — and those three boys in the video hold the key to solving it.

Black Phone 2 – Hungarian release date: October 16, 2025.
