The Black Phone 2 director reveals the one "main difference" between the original horror movie and its upcoming "more graphic" sequel

Ethan Hawke as The Grabber in The Black Phone.

If you thought The Black Phone was scary, then strap in for its much more terrifying big brother as director Scott Derrickson explains the major difference between the 2021 horror film and The Black Phone 2.

"The main difference is that it's a high school coming of age movie, in the same way that the original movie was a middle school coming of age movie, but those are two very different sorts of things," says Derrickson to GamesRadar+. "You know, a high school coming-of-age movie demands more. It has to be more visceral. It has to be, I think, more graphic, scarier."
