‘Black Phone 2’ is better than the original

Frankie DiCalogero, Editor-At-Large October 29, 2025
   This year has been a huge year for horror films. One that stood out was “Black Phone 2,” a sequel to the original 2021 film “The Black Phone.” The first installment of the series was well received by critics and crushed the box office, making over $160 million against their budget of under $20 million. While “Black Phone 2” received a higher budget and a bigger rollout, it also had to deal with lofty expectations. Fortunately, these expectations were not just met but shattered, and it became one of my favorite movies this year.
