What Critics Are Saying About "Black Phone 2"
- "Black Phone 2 surpasses its predecessor in just about every way... [it is] a perfect sequel in that it leans into what worked in the first film, while also taking the story in interesting and unexpected directions. It's bigger, and better." - Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting
- "The true star is McGraw, whose potty-mouthed, religious-leaning dream warrior is funny, heartbreaking, heroic, and delightful all at once." - Germain Lusser, io9.com
- "They took the win away from the first movie and, frankly, it makes me mad... [The film] applies the worn-out formula from the "Nightmare on Elm Street" franchise here. The resemblance feels less like an homage and more like a blatant ripoff." - Tim Cogshell, Filmweek
