Movies like Black Phone 2

“Black Phone 2 (2025) is a 2020s American slasher that uses formal contrast to stage survivorhood against a returning killer. The core conflict pairs a trauma-affected survivor and his sister who answer dream-calls and pursue a spectral threat, rendered through axial framing and chiaroscuro lighting. The film treats sequel mechanics as a formal problem and argues that cinematic grammar can hold questions of memory and violence.”
