“Black Phone 2” (*1/2 out of four) was a wrong number about a grown-up Finn (Mason Thames) and his sister Gwen (Madeline McGraw) who begin receiving disturbing premonitions and nightmares about the killer (Ethan Hawke) they thought was dead but they soon realize that not all evil things stay buried. Well-made but yet another empty pile of fake scares and omens straight off the Blumhouse assembly line. Fans of the original (I wasn’t) may want to check this out but others will want to hang up long before film’s unsatisfying ending.
