(ESP-ENG) Black Phone 2 | Was it really necessary? - Movie Review!@javyeslava.photo221d

Hola amigos, buenas vibras para todos.

Hello friends, good vibes to all.

Muchas veces he dicho que las segundas partes o las secuelas no son tan necesarias como la gente podría pensar, creo que para que estas se den tendría que haber un trasfondo realmente grande que permita el desarrollo del film. Querer hacer una continuación solo por el hecho de que la primera parte fue un "éxito" siempre he considerado que es un error. ¿Con Black Phone 2 se cumple algo de esto que estoy comentando? - puede ser. Siento que aquella película del 2022 fue bastante buena y cuya historia pudo haber quedado con su final pero si vemos bien la trama de esta segunda parte puede que esté un poco justificada y es que la vida de la hermana de Finney junto con su don es bastante interesante y da mucho pie para seguir con el hilo.

I've often said that sequels aren't as necessary as people might think. I believe that for them to be worthwhile, there needs to be a really substantial backstory that allows the film to develop. Wanting to make a sequel just because the first one was a "success" has always seemed like a mistake to me. Does Black Phone 2 fit this description? - Perhaps. I feel that the 2022 film was quite good, and its story could have ended there, but if we look closely at the plot of this second part, it might be somewhat justified. The life of Finney's sister, along with her gift, is quite interesting and provides plenty of material to continue the storyline.

Esto ocurre uno tiempo después de los sucesos de la primera película (4 años aproximadamente). A Finney le quedaron unas secuelas o traumas después de lo que le tocó vivir con El Raptor que se manifiestan en su comportamiento. Gwen, la hermana con las visiones, comienza a ser acosada nuevamente por el famoso teléfono negro que de la nada volvió a sonar en sus sueños. Estas visiones que ella comienza a experimentar la van a llevar a un campamento el cual esconde un secreto que puede que esclarezca todo de una vez por todas. Hay que destacar que es el propio Raptor quién está detrás de todo esto; si, incluso después de muerto.

This takes place some time after the events of the first film (approximately four years). Finney is left with lingering trauma from his experience with the Raptor, which manifests in his behavior. Gwen, the sister with the visions, begins to be haunted again by the infamous black phone, which suddenly starts ringing in her dreams. These visions lead her to a camp that hides a secret that may finally reveal everything. It's important to note that the Raptor himself is behind it all; yes, even after his death.

Este film nunca lo he visto como algo paranormal, para mi es el típico terror un poco slasher del asesino que va detrás de todos. Pero claro, ahora que este tipo está muerto y aún así sigue atormentando a estos hermanos la cosa cambia. A pesar de esto la película no se inclina a ese genero sobrenatural, no da miedo por eso; todo sigue siendo un thriller psicológico en donde un ente que no está en el plano físico persigue a unas personas. Es una trama que con el pasar del tiempo se va entendiendo porque nos la presentan en forma de visiones o sueños que toca interpretar y que serán la clave para resolver todo. Personalmente no me aburrió, es entretenida pero para mi no le llega a lo que fue la primera película.

I've never seen this film as paranormal; for me, it's your typical slasher horror movie about a killer stalking everyone. But of course, now that this guy is dead and still haunting these siblings, things change. Despite this, the film doesn't lean into the supernatural genre, so it's not scary. It remains a psychological thriller where an entity that isn't in the physical realm pursues some people. The plot gradually becomes clearer as it's presented through visions or dreams that we have to interpret, and these will be the key to solving everything. Personally, I wasn't bored; it's entertaining, but for me, it doesn't reach the level of the first film.

Puedo entender porque hicieron este film, creo que usaron lo que había quedado sin explicar del primero y a raíz de allí explotaron la trama. Ahora de que si realmente era necesario, pues eso es otra cosa. Para mi no lo era pero no me molesta porque el film, vuelvo a repetir, está bien y eso ya es decir mucho. Eso si, la película en casi la primera hora es bastante lenta, cuesta un poco agarrarle cariño y ritmo pero después mejora mucho, no llega al punto de quitarla pero si hay que tener un poco de paciencia. Hay gore, hay violencia, siguen habiendo suspenso e intriga por lo que los ingredientes del terror están bien presentes.

I can understand why they made this film; I think they used what was left unexplained from the first one and then expanded the plot from there. Now, whether it was really necessary, well, that's another matter. For me, it wasn't, but it doesn't bother me because the film, I repeat, is good, and that's saying a lot. That said, the film is quite slow for almost the first hour; it takes a little while to get into it and find its rhythm, but it improves a lot afterward. It's not so bad that you should turn it off, but you do need a bit of patience. There's gore, there's violence, and there's still suspense and intrigue, so the elements of horror are definitely present.

En cuanto a todo lo que tiene que ver con la cinematografía pues que decir, está muy bien logrado todo. Las partes violentas y las que están llenas de sangre y gore son las que más se disfrutan porque son las que le dan vida a la película. La naturaleza del personaje es así, despiadado y solo con la intención de hacer sufrir. En este punto decir que Ethan Hawke volvió a estar muy bien, es de lo mejor de la película realmente. Pero ahora hay que añadir a Madeleine McGraw quien hace de Gwen quien también hizo un gran papel entregando buenos momentos llenos de terror, angustia, tristeza; todo lo que supongo se le pedía lo hizo sin problemas.

As for the cinematography, what can I say? It's all very well done. The violent scenes and those filled with blood and gore are the most enjoyable because they're what bring the film to life. The character's nature is like that: ruthless and solely intent on causing suffering. At this point, I have to say that Ethan Hawke was excellent once again; he's truly one of the best things about the film. But now we must add Madeleine McGraw, who plays Gwen, and she also gave a great performance, delivering powerful moments filled with terror, anguish, and sadness; everything that was asked of her, I suppose, she did flawlessly.

Es un film bueno y que se puede ver pero no es mejor que el primero. Creo que no hacía falta hacerlo pero lo menos quedó como una película bien decente y con grandes actuaciones y escenas de terror. Le doy un 6.5/10. Dura menos de dos horas. Les dejo el tráiler por acá abajo.

It's a good film, watchable, but not better than the first one. I don't think it needed to be remade, but at least it's a pretty decent movie with great acting and some scary scenes. I give it a 6.5/10. It's under two hours long. I've included the trailer below.

›“Black Phone 2,” a risky bet@musicandreview227d
Whenever a sequel to a movie is made, two things can happen: either it's very good compared to the first one, or it's very bad. In the case of Black Phone 2, it's not necessarily either of those, because, from my point of view, it went from being a very good movie that left a great impression to one that doesn't seem to have much to do with the first one, beyond the characters. I mean that the first part did not seem to have supernatural elements, while the second is quite the opposite, as the main antagonist definitely has supernatural origins, as do other characters we see during the film, who have abilities that go beyond what we are used to seeing in this world.
Black Phone 2 is a film set in 2025, produced by Blumhouse Records and directed by Scott Derrickson. Among the main characters, we see Ethan Hawke, who plays the antagonist, and a cast of actors who are quite similar or who reprise their roles from the first film. The genre is obviously supernatural horror. The story takes place a few years after the events of the first film. We see the boy who managed to kill the kidnapper as a teenager, trying to lead a normal life. However, we can see that he has social difficulties at school, as well as family difficulties with both his father and his sister. Obviously, everything he went through in the first film caused trauma that he is coping with as best he can on a daily basis, but which undoubtedly had a very negative impact on his life.

However, in Black Phone 2, we see that the plot focuses more on her sister, who, little by little, we see has some supernatural powers, which are based on visions, and which cause her many nightmares at night. She sees signs that gradually lead her to understand that her mother is, or was, a fundamental part of everything related to the antagonist, and that she inherited these powers (so to speak) from her mother, which cause her to have visions and also enable her to see things that happened in the past, as well as supernatural elements.
So, little by little, it is revealed that the main antagonist went from being a malevolent human being to a supernatural entity who will seek revenge for what happened to him when he was alive. It's true that it's not as simple as I'm saying, but there was always something behind it that went back even further, to previous years, which gave rise to everything we see in the plot of Black Phone 1 and, of course, in part two. As for the resolution of the story, I invite you to watch the movie so that you can understand in greater detail what I have mentioned so far.
Now, this is a film that I was fortunate enough to see in the theater, and while it's true that, in my opinion, it's not better than the first one, it can be charming and quite entertaining. It's interesting to see that leap from the natural to the supernatural, which somehow transforms this film into something different. I would say it's a kind of mutation, trying to take advantage of elements from the first film, but at the same time taking it into a territory that I suppose the director wanted to be different this time around.

The performances are quite acceptable. I would say that it is not necessarily the film's strong point, but it was quite adequate in terms of what the plot required at each moment. From my point of view, the ending of this story was quite dignified. However, I had the feeling that there could be a third part, which for me is totally unnecessary, as I believe that the arguments available to develop the story were exploited to the full. In fact, this second part gives me the impression that it is very different from what we saw in the first one, but I suppose they wanted to take advantage of the positive impact of the first part to then shoot this second one, which, as I mentioned, is quite interesting and acceptable. If you like the horror genre, I invite you to watch it. You will probably be able to draw some good conclusions about it and have a good time. It was a pleasure to share my impressions of this film. See you next time.

Hello! 💙

La verdad yo no voy a negar que llegué con las expectativas bastante bajas al momento de ver esta película porque constantemente se me decía lo mala que era, pero no se trata de que sea mala Es verdad que no llega a superar a la primera pero es que en parte es porque tiene estilo muy diferente y si bien el elemento del teléfono negro con las llamadas a los espíritus y toda la cuestión sigue estando presente hasta cierto punto Por decirlo de alguna manera, la verdad es que la trama tiene un foco completamente diferente especialmente con el villano que sí es el mismo pero ya no puedes decir que sea una película sobre asesinos sino algo más paranormal.

To be honest, I won't deny that I went into this movie with pretty low expectations because I kept hearing how bad it was, but it's not that it's bad. It's true that it doesn't surpass the first one, but that's partly because it has a very different style, and although the element of the black phone with the calls to the spirits and all that is still present to a certain extent, so to speak, the truth is that the plot has a completely different focus, especially with the villain, who is the same, but you can no longer say that it's a movie about murderers, but rather something more paranormal.

Si bien el elemento paranormal estaba muy presente en la primera película gracias al Don que tenía el protagonista con la parte del teléfono negro aquí se encargan de expandirlo mucho más y devolverlo mucho más elaborado especialmente con la hermana, también van desenvolviendo un poco más el pasado de la mamá del protagonista un poco más sobre el ambiente familiar, y sobre todo con el pasado del asesino que vimos en la primera parte que en esta ocasión se presenta como una entidad como un espíritu, incluso tocando por momentos ligeramente ciertos temas religiosos la película es interesante de ver pero si debes entender qué es una secuela pero que tiene elementos muy distintos a la primera.

While the paranormal element was very present in the first film thanks to the protagonist's gift with the black phone, here they expand on it much more and make it much more elaborate, especially with the sister. They also reveal a little more about the protagonist's mother's past and the family environment, and especially with the past of the killer we saw in the first part, who this time is presented as an entity, like a spirit, even touching on certain religious themes at times. The film is interesting to watch, but you have to understand that it is a sequel with elements that are very different from the first one.

Fuente de imagen Un gran defecto que tiene esta película es que por momentos sí es verdad que tiene un ritmo bastante lento pero muchísimo pero es que en parte esto busca de que resuelvan un misterio cosa que no pasan a la primera la primera básicamente se trataba del protagonista buscando de escaparse de su secuestrador del asesino, pero en esta vamos desenvolviendo el pasado algo que le pasó también a la mamá de los protagonistas y todos estos elementos hace que es una película más paranormal con algo de misterio, Y puede que el cambio de estilo para muchos sea demasiado y por eso es que muchas personas tienen la expectativa de que esta película no es mejor que la primera que sí en parte es cierto pero en parte recomiendo dar una oportunidad porque creo que es bastante disfrutable.

A major flaw in this film is that at times it does indeed have a rather slow pace, but this is partly because it seeks to resolve a mystery, which does not happen at first. The first film was basically about the protagonist trying to escape from his kidnapper and murderer, but in this one, we gradually uncover the past, something that also happened to the protagonists' mother, and all these elements make it a more paranormal film with some mystery. The change in style may be too much for many, which is why many people expect this film to be no better than the first one, which is partly true, but I recommend giving it a chance because I think it's quite enjoyable.

Today, horror movies continue to be talked about despite the fact that the latest releases have not been so good. Even so, productions in this genre continue to be released that manage to make a big impact without resorting to exaggerated scares, effects, or even as a continuation of a saga. Such is the case with the film El Teléfono Negro 2, a sequel that manages to maintain the disturbing essence of the first installment, which caused a stir due to the way it was made. Now, this second part offers a deeper perspective on what it means to face the fears and shadows of the past, something that will always be on people's minds. This continuation of the story focuses on new elements, maintaining psychological tension in those heavy silences and that constant feeling that something is about to happen, even though we don't know when, and that's when a phone call changes everything.

Hoy en día el cine de terror sigue dando de qué hablar a pesar de que las últimas que han estrenado no han sido tan buenas, aun así siguen saliendo producciones de este género que logran causar un buen impacto sin necesidad de exagerar en sustos, efectos e incluso como continuación de una saga. Ese es el caso de la película El Teléfono Negro 2, una secuela que logra mantener la esencia inquietante de la primera entrega, la cual dio de que hablar por la manera como fue elaborado y ahora esta segunda parte cuenta con una perspectiva más profunda sobre lo que significa enfrentar los miedos y las sombras del pasado, algo que siempre estará en la mente de las personas. Esta continuación de la historia apuesta por una historia con cosas nuevas, mantiene la tensión psicológica, en esos silencios que pesan, y en esa sensación constante de que algo está por suceder, aunque no sepamos cuándo y es allí cuando una llamada cambia todo.

With the first installment now available, everything is starting to take shape, and once again, we are taken back to relive the experience of Finney, a young man trying to get on with his life after the traumatic events he has been through, something that takes skill and control to manage. However, the past never completely goes away, precisely because these are very powerful memories, and what seemed to have been left behind begins to manifest itself in an unexpected way, and this is where the real adventure and fear of this film begin. The phone rings again, although it is no longer in the same place, and this time it is not just warnings, but a deeper search to discover what remains and at the same time to put an end to a situation that has been the subject of much discussion. This leads us to ask ourselves, “Will he be able to free himself from that thought?” Reality mixes with the psychological, and doubt becomes as strong as fear itself, since one wrong move can ruin everything.

Al contar con una primera entrega ya todo comienza a tomar forma y por eso una vez más, nos lleva a revivir la experiencia de Finney, un joven que intenta seguir con su vida después de los sucesos traumáticos que vivió y es algo que se tiene que saber llevar y controlar. Sin embargo, el pasado nunca se va del todo, por el mismo hecho de ser recuerdos muy fuertes y lo que parecía haber quedado atrás comienza a manifestarse de una forma inesperada y es aquí donde la verdadera aventura y miedo de esta película comienzan. El teléfono vuelve a sonar, aunque ya no está en el mismo lugar, y esta vez no solo se trata de advertencias, sino de una búsqueda más profunda por descubrir qué quedó y a la vez poder darle fin a una situación que ha dado de que hablar y por eso nos lleva a preguntarnos ¿Podrá liberarse de ese pensamiento?, como también la realidad se mezcla con lo psicológico, y la duda se vuelve tan fuerte como el miedo mismo, ya que un mal movimiento todo se arruina.

The film maintains that great essence of horror from start to finish and is much better, highlighting the way it fits perfectly and thus creates tension for all viewers. In addition, each of the scenes is very simple, with silent streets and rooms that seem to hold memories we don't want to revisit, all with very low lighting to add a great touch, so that the tension builds and the least expected moment gives us a scare, allowing the tension to grow, which the presence of that evil person changes everything, and that's where you have to give it your all again. Another aspect of this second part is how it reflects the trauma that a person can experience and how that leads them to make decisions. It may seem that everything is fine, but in reality, it is something worse, and this is where each person deals with it in a different way.

La película mantiene esa gran esencia de terror de inicio a fin y es mucho mejor, destacando la manera como encaja a la perfección y así poder darle tensión a todos los espectadores. Además, cada una de las escenas son muy sencillas, calles silenciosas y habitaciones que parecen guardar recuerdos que no queremos volver a tocar y todo con una iluminación muy baja para darle un gran toque, para que así la tensión crezca y el momento menos esperado llevarnos un susto dejando que la tensión crezca, la cual la presencia de esa persona mala hace que todo cambie y es allí donde tiene que dar lo mejor nuevamente. Otras de las cosas de esta segunda parte es cómo se refleja el trauma que puede llegar a tener una persona y eso lo lleva tomar decisiones, que puede llegar a aparecer que todo esta bien, pero en realidad es algo peor y es aquí donde cada persona lidia con eso de una manera distinta.

A second part that perhaps wasn't necessary, since there comes a point where it's the same despite the new elements they add. Even so, it's a horror film that does a great job of building suspense and mystery throughout the plot, as well as showing the emotional growth of the protagonist. That's why The Black Phone 2 manages to convey that internal struggle, that moment when understanding fear is the only way to free yourself from it and thus be able to control it, since it can strike again at any moment. That's why it's a sequel worth watching, as it continues the story and perhaps leaves many things to further develop the plot for a future third installment. For my part, I consider it a very good film within the horror genre.

Una segunda parte que quizás no era necesario, puesto llegará un punto donde es lo mismo a pesar de lo nuevo que le colocan. Aun así es una película de terror que muestra muy bien el suspenso y el misterio a lo largo de la trama al igual ese crecimiento emocional del protagonista. Por eso El Teléfono Negro 2 logra transmitir esa lucha interna, ese momento en el que entender el miedo es la única forma de liberarse de él y así poder controlarlo, ya que en cualquier momento puede volver a atacar. Por eso es una secuela que vale la pena ver, ya que continúa la historia y quizás deja muchas cosas para seguir creciendo la trama a una futura tercera parte. Por mi parte, la considero una muy buena dentro del género de terror.

Black Phone. A Blumhouse film - known for its aesthetic in the field of modern horror (and in general, in the most extreme cinema anyway), has given us some very nice and successful (objectively) franchises if I may say so, see Purge, Sinister , Insidious, Split, Hush, Black Christmas, some even with nice sequels (not all 😛 ).

The setting is in late 70's Denver, starring two brothers, one of whom is kidnapped by the iconic serial killer (no spoilers here, it's literally on the poster) played very strongly by Ethan Hawke, and the other has some supernatural abilities.

I won't go into too much detail, there's no need, it's a horror flick, but the setting alone could be something of an excuse for a coming of age ghost/horror story. More we see the unfolding of the main characters and their own concerns, but also the social and non-position of all the characters - from the first-generation teenager of Japanese origin and baseball lover to the 17-year-old angry hair metal bully and of course the almost alcoholic father of the children. , also giving a certain illustration of that era. Ok, obviously pretty superficial, although it does have a couple of really strong scenes that I honestly didn't expect to see (Madeleine McGraw stars, already has experience in Outcast as well as Ant Man). As for the serial killer element, Hawk and the mask gimmick is very convincing, it's solid and just as, without being a caricature. Some jump scares he had, ok they could be less predictable but they were fun. Dericksson's direction, too, was spot on.

Let me say it again, well done to Stranger Things and the retro wave that emerged and gave us such beauties in theaters.
