Exatamente 20 anos atrás, era publicada no Reino Unido a coletânea de contos 20th Century Ghosts. À época um jovem escritor querendo afastar-se da sombra de seu pai, o Rei do horror, Joe Hill publicou The Black Phone, passado inteiro na perspectiva de um adolescente que é sequestrado por um serial killer que atormenta a cidade de Denver: o Apanhador. Já em 2021, Scott Derrickson, velho conhecido dos fãs de horror, colaborou com Hill e escalou Ethan Hawke para viver o amedrontador vilão que trancafia Finney em um porão com um telefone preto desconectado. Sucesso de crítica e público, 4 anos mais tarde Telefone Preto gerou uma sequência, que é o principal assunto do RdMCast de hoje. Em um episódio que comenta as principais diferenças entre o conto original e o filme de 2021, em todos os seus acertos de adaptação, nos fazemos também a pergunta óbvia sobre a sequência: precisava mesmo? Com um Apanhador que vira cada vez mais Freddy Krueger, Telefone Preto 2 aposta em um cenário inóspito e na aterrorização do mundo dos sonhos para construir a continuação da história da família Blake. Vamos falar sobre tudo o que funcionou e o que não funcionou neste novo filme, com e sem spoilers. Dê play neste episódio e lembre-se: se um telefone preto desconectado tocar perto de você, não atenda.O RdMCast é produzido e apresentado por: Thiago Natário, Gabriel Braga e Gabi Larocca.Apoie o RdM e receba recompensas exclusivas: https://apoia.se/rdmCITADOS NO PROGRAMA:20th Century Ghosts (livro, 2005)O Telefone Preto (2021)O Telefone Preto (2025)Citações off topic:A Entidade (2012)Doutor Estranho (2016)Lenda Urbana 2 (2000)O Exorcismo de Emily Rose (2005)Conta Comigo (1986)Antes do Amanhecer (1995)M3GAN 2.0 (2025)Boyhood: Da Infância à Juventude (2014)Uma Batalha Após a Outra (2025)EPISÓDIOS CITADOS:O QUE ACHAMOS | TELEFONE PRETO E PREDADOR: A CAÇADAO QUE ACHAMOS | M3GAN 2.0RdMCast #278 – Especial Stephen KingRdMCast #520 – Invocação do Mal 4: dando adeus aos WarrenRdMCast #351 – Doutor Estranho no Multiverso do HorrorRdMCast #370 – Especial A Hora do PesadeloSiga o RdMYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Rep%C3%BAblicadoMedoInstagram: @republicadomedoTwitter: @RdmcastEntre em contato através do: contato@republicadomedo.com.brLoja do RdMConheça nossos produtos: https://lojaflutuante.com.br/?produto=RdmINSIDER STORE COM ATÉ 50% OFF:Cupom: RDMCASTLink especial: https://creators.insiderstore.com.br/RDMCASTBFWhatsapp da Insider com flash promos: https://creators.insiderstore.com.br/RDMCASTWPPBFPODCAST EDITADO PORFelipe LourençoESTÚDIO GRIM – Design para conteúdo digitalPortfólio: https://estudiogrim.com.br/Instagram: @estudiogrimContato: contato@estudiogrim.com.br
Directed by Scott Derrickson, Black Phone 2 is the supernatural horror film which serves as a sequel to The Black Phone (2021). As Finn (Mason Thames), now 17, struggles with life after his captivity, the headstrong 15-year-old Gwen (Madeleine McGraw) begins receiving calls in her dreams from the black phone and seeing disturbing visions of three boys being stalked at a winter camp known as Alpine Lake. Determined to solve the mystery and end the torment for both her and her brother, Gwen persuades Finn to visit the camp during a winter storm. There, she uncovers a shattering intersection between The Grabber (Ethan Hawke) and her own family's history. We break down all things from Super 8 dream sequences, supernatural child murderers, to Elm Street similarities.
In this new one, Chris and Neil talk two newish horror films. Their bread and butter. First, after the intro, they howl at the moon and yap about the buzzy new horror film by Shudder- Good Boy. Then, after news, they put on creepy devil masks and terrorize children while they pontificate about Black Phone 2 starring Mason Thames, Madeline McGraw and Ethan Hawke, Scott Derrickson is back to direct! Does Good Boy make you want to shake off your fleas? Does Black Phone 2 make you want to hang up? Jam this in your ear holes and drink it in long and deep.

Hello, movie maniacs! McQuarrying is on hiatus for another week as Mary and Dave take a deep dive into a frozen lake to discuss Scott Derrickson's Black Phone 2. The Grabber returns to haunt Finney and Gwen as the supernatural becomes super real. Was this the movie of Mary and Dave's dreams? Well, let them […]
Send us a Question!MOVIE DISCUSSION: Kathryn joins Melvin to discuss Scott Derrickson's latest horror feature, Black Phone 2! The two get into what sets it apart from other franchises like A Nightmare on Elm Street, how it holds up against the first film, and how it's... more Christian? Oh snap! Topics:(PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 23-minutes discussing Sigourney Weaver saying at NYCC 2025 that there's a "very strong first 50 pages" script of Alien that includes Ripley, and where she is at the time, and the two wonder both earnestly and cynically about the idea of a Ripley-included Alien sequel in the 2020s (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) First things first... is it A Nightmare on Elm Street meets Friday the 13th?Exploring the pervasive online joke that The Grabber, as a new "slasher icon", is an industry plant, and why it may feel that way.The dialogue here is bad. Full stop. The drama works if you buy into it, but the bad dialogue is a heavy cost.Kathryn and Melvin both had this fear: is Scott Derrickson just gonna do Sinister again? Thankfully, the answer is more nuanced than that.The spirituality isn't Deistic and the way Gwen prays and interacts with Jesus is as though Jesus is an active, non-corporeal character in the film.Talking Terrence, The Grabber, and Finn.There's no doubt in Melvin's mind that Scott Derrickson is evoking real-life Protestant Camp abuse tales with the drama and setting in Black Phone 2, including Kanakuk Kamp, LifeWay Camp, and Matt Chandler's church.Kathryn, "Knowing the truth, believing the truth, and speaking the truth can be really scary."Recommendations:In the Mouth of Madness (1995) (Movie)Caveat (2021) (Movie)Support the showSupport on Patreon for Unique Perks!

THE GRABBER RETURNS!! Black Phone 2 Full Movie Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects The Black Phone (2021) Movie Reaction: • THE BLACK PHONE MOVIE REACTION!! First Tim... The Black Phone 2 Movie Reaction, Breakdown, Commentary, Analysis & Spoiler Review! Join us as we dive into the chilling sequel directed by Scott Derrickson (who also helmed Doctor Strange and Sinister) in which the masked killer known as the “Grabber” returns from beyond the grave. Ten-plus years after his defeat by Mason Thames (Finney Blake — also in How to Train Your Dragon (2025) and Regretting You (2025)) the evil starts haunting both Finney and his sister Madeleine McGraw (Gwen) at a remote winter camp, Alpine Lake, where their mother once worked—and things get deeply supernatural. Meanwhile, the Grabber is still played by Ethan Hawke (The Grabber — also in Training Day, Before Midnight, and The Black Phone (2021)) who now haunts the phone lines and dreams of his victims. We unpack major moments: Gwen's vision sequences, Finney's PTSD-driven recklessness, the snowbound camp setting, the ringing black phone returning, the origin back story of the Blake family's trauma, and the visceral climax where the Grabber gains powers of the undead and the siblings must fight back. We analyze how Derrickson flips a summer-camp slasher into a winter nightmare, how the film leans into supernatural horror (think Freddy Krueger vibes) and how the sequel expands the mythos of the first film. If you're searching “Black Phone 2 explained”, “Black Phone 2 review”, “Grabber origin Black Phone sequel”, “Mason Thames Black Phone 2 reaction”, this is your full breakdown.

Er der stadig liv i samarbejdet mellem Scott Derrickson og Ethan Hawke, eller burde de have lagt gysergenren på hylden for længst?I denne Hauntedween-episode af Betacritic dykker Jacob Ege Hinchely og kulturjournalist og anmelder Christopher Leo Andersen ned i to film, der samler makkerparret Scott Derrickson (Doctor Strange, The Exorcism of Emily Rose) og Ethan Hawke (Training Day, Before-trilogien): Black Phone 2 og Sinister.Først handler det om Black Phone 2, hvor Jacob og Christopher diskuterer, om efterfølgeren kan leve op til etterens enkle og effektive gyserkoncept. De er enige om, at filmen prøver at være noget andet, men ikke altid med held. Ethan Hawke er stadig klam som The Grabber, men historien mister fokus, scenografien virker kunstig, og filmen drukner i referencer til andre gysere. Alligevel gemmer der sig enkelte spændingsmomenter, især for et yngre publikum. Efter anmeldelsen følger en spoilersektion, hvor de går mere i dybden med filmens afsløringer og mislykkede forsøg på at forklare for meget.Derefter vender de sig mod Sinister. En film, som ved gensyn falder helt fra hinanden. Christopher kalder den "straight up snot", mens Jacob undrer sig over, hvordan den nogensinde kunne blive kaldt verdens mest uhyggelige film. De taler om, hvorfor gyserens analoge filmruller stadig fungerer, men hvordan resten drukner i klichéer, dårlige jumpscares og tåbelige karaktervalg.Til sidst deler de deres egne oplevelser med de mest uhyggelige film, de nogensinde har set i biografen, og giver deres anbefalinger til årets Shocktober.Tusind tak fordi du lytter med.

SCREEN THAT CALL FROM BEYOND…THE GRABBER IS BACK IN BLACK PHONE 2!Blumhouse pictures looks to break its poo-poo streak (Exorcist:Believer, The Wolf Man, M3G4N 2.0, The Woman in the Yard, Drop) with Black Phone 2, the sequel to the wildly successful first film. Based on a short story by Stephen King's son Joe Hill, the sequel is directed by genre friendly director-writer Scott Derrickson who also helmed the Sinister films and Doctor Strange. Starring returning actors Mason Thames (who is on a hot streak as the current IT actor), Madeleine McGraw, Miguel Mora, and Ethan Hawke, is this sequel a worthy expansion of the Grabber storyline/universe or is it just silly “bigger, bolder, better but more of the same”?

Min 4: CONEXIÓN ABYCINE 2025: ENTREVISTA AL MORIARTI AITOR ARREGI Esta semana viajamos a Abycine, el Festival de Cine de Albacete, para vivir desde dentro su inauguración en el Teatro Circo y descubrir cómo Castilla-La Mancha Media impulsa, un año más, el talento emergente a través de Abycine Lanza. Entre los protagonistas de la gala, hemos recogido el testimonio de la actriz y directora Marta Nieto, reconocida con el Premio Trayectoria Joven, y con uno de los grandes nombres del cine español actual: Aitor Arregi. Codirector de Handia, La trinchera infinita, Marcop o la reciente Maspalomas, Arregi nos regala una entrevista personal y cinéfila en la que repasa su visión del cine, su conexión con los Moriarti y el proceso creativo que les ha permitido sacar adelante algunos de los títulos más interesantes y premiados del reciente cine español. Min 19: EL FILTRO LUCHINI: DE LOS DOMINGOS A BLACK PHONE 2 Min 20: LOS DOMINGOS (4 estrellas) En Los domingos, Alauda Ruiz de Azúa ("Cinco Lobitos", "Querer") vuelve a demostrar su maestría para retratar los silencios familiares y los conflictos interiores. La película nos sumerge en la historia de Ainara (interpretada por Blanca Soroa), una joven de 17 años que rompe las expectativas de su entorno al anunciar su decisión de ingresar en un convento de clausura. Lo que podría parecer una elección personal se convierte en un espejo de las tensiones entre fe, libertad y afecto dentro de una familia vasca que se tambalea ante lo inesperado. A su lado brillan Patricia López Arnaiz, Miguel Garcés y Juan Minujín, en un reparto de altísimo nivel que dota de hondura, matices y verdad a cada gesto. Con una puesta en escena sobria y un elenco en estado de gracia, Los domingos confirma el talento de Ruiz de Azúa para explorar las zonas más íntimas del ser humano y el peso de las decisiones que nos definen. Min 30: DECORADO (3,5 estrellas) En Decorado, Alberto Vázquez despliega su universo gráfico para construir una fábula ácida sobre la libertad, la alienación y el coste de existir en una sociedad que ya parece diseñada. El protagonista, Arnold, un ratón de mediana edad atrapado en el paro y en un matrimonio desmoronado, empieza a sospechar que su entorno —su trabajo, su hogar, su ciudad— no es otra cosa que un decorado fabricado por la gran corporación ALMA. Con una estética que evoca los dibujos clásicos de animación y un guion que bebe del surrealismo y la sátira social, la película mezcla humor negro, drama existencial y críticas al capitalismo, la hiperconectividad y los mecanismos que moldan nuestras vidas. Desde Abycine, el productor Iván Miñambres nos detalle por qué apostó firmemente por este proyecto de Alberto Vázquez. Min 35: PEQUEÑOS CALVARIOS (2,5 estrellas) En Pequeños calvarios, el debut en ficción de Javier Polo despliega un universo coral tan absurdo como reconocible, en el que un excéntrico relojero escuchando un programa de radio se convierte en demiurgo involuntario de historias disparatadas sobre obsesiones, manías y soledades cotidianas. A través de viñetas que retratan desde un hipocondríaco que convoca a sus amigos para anunciar su muerte, hasta una profesora de yoga asediada por el ruido de la vecina, la película combina humor negro, estética pop-irónica y una mirada crítica al paso del tiempo y al peso de lo trivial. Con un reparto repleto de caras conocidas que dota de vitalidad al conjunto —Arturo Valls, Berta Vázquez, Andrea Duro entre otros— la cinta se convierte en un espejo incómodo y divertido de nuestras propias micro-dramas, invitando a pensar que, quizá, vivimos en un escenario perfectamente decorado para nosotros. Min 39: FRANKENSTEIN (4,5 estrellas) En Frankenstein (2025), Guillermo del Toro se enfrenta al mito universal de Mary Shelley con la solemnidad de un artista que ha esperado décadas por este proyecto. La cinta sitúa al brillante pero arrogante científico Victor Frankenstein (interpretado por Oscar Isaac) en una espiral de ambición y culpa al dar vida a una criatura (The Creature, encarnada por Jacob Elordi) con fuerza sobrehumana y capacidad de sanar. Esa creación, que aspira a hallar su lugar en un mundo que lo rechaza, deviene espejo roto de la soledad, la rebelión y el acto mismo de crear. Con un reparto sólido —incluyendo a Mia Goth y Christoph Waltz— y una imaginería gótica y visceral, la película no se queda en el horror tradicional: es una reflexión moral sobre hasta qué punto el creador está dispuesto a asumir la responsabilidad de lo creado. Min 48: SPRINGSTEEN (3 estrellas) En “Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere†, Bruce Springsteen emerge no como leyenda del rock, sino como un hombre en plena encrucijada creativa. Bajo la dirección de Scott Cooper, el biopic se centra en la grabación de su álbum de 1982 Nebraska, una obra íntima, áspera y esencial, y sigue la lucha interna de Springsteen (interpretado por Jeremy Allen White) por conservar su voz propia frente al éxito y las expectativas. Con una atmósfera sobria, un reparto sólido —incluyendo a Jeremy Strong, Paul Walter Hauser y Stephen Graham— y un retrato sensible de la depresión, la paternidad ausente y el proceso creativo, la película desafía el mito para mostrar al artista vulnerable, atrapado entre el pasado que lo frena y el futuro que lo empuja. Min 55: BLACK PHONE 2 (3 estrellas) En The Black Phone 2, el director Scott Derrickson retoma el escalofriante universo de la primera entrega para adentrarse aún más en el horror psicológico y sobrenatural. Cuatro años después de que Mason Thames se enfrentara al brutal Grabber, su hermana menor, Madeleine McGraw (Gwen), comienza a recibir llamadas misteriosas y visiones en mitad de una tormenta de nieve en un campamento abandonado, mientras Ethan Hawke regresa como ese villano que trasciende la muerte. Con un ritmo que alterna sustos explícitos, atmósfera opresiva y la carga del trauma familiar, la película mezcla la fórmula del slasher clásico con una fábula de revancha onírica, donde el pasado vuelve a llamar al teléfono… y esta vez nadie puede ignorarlo. Mim 60: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA: AITOR ARREGI Aprovechamos la presencia en Abycine del director vasco para desvelar cuál es la película clave en la vida del codirector de "Marco" o "Maspalomas". Arregi nos sorprende con su apuesta por una trilogía ochentera de éxito que hasta ahora no había elegido ninguno de nuestros invitados ¿Te imaginas cuál puede ser? Min 65: COLOFÓN MUSICAL: BSO HANDIA Y como homenaje a la presencia destacada de Arregui en Estamos de Cine, le pedimos a nuestro crítico musical, Ángel Luque,que elija la mejor canción y la mejor banda sonora del universo Moriarti. Luque lo tiene claro: la canción Primer Viaje, incluida en la composición de Pascal Gaigne para "Handia" es su elegida para cerrar este capítulo especial.
