A CHAT WITH MADELEINE MCGRAW

With the release of “Black Phone 2”, I spoke with Madeleine McGraw at New York Comic Con ahead of the Blumfest panel. She shares with me her reaction to seeing how her character would grow in the sequel. She also talks about how much more scarier Ethan Hawk is in the film. As well as how her and her sister Violet McGraw help each other out as they star in 2 Blumhouse franchises. It’s a great conversation that you can check out below!

ABOUT “BLACK PHONE 2”

Four years ago, 13-year-old Finn killed his abductor and escaped, becoming the sole survivor of The Grabber. But true evil transcends death … and the phone is ringing again.

Four-time Academy Award® nominee Ethan Hawke returns to the most sinister role of his career as The Grabber seeks vengeance on Finn (Mason Thames) from beyond the grave by menacing Finn’s younger sister, Gwen (Madeleine McGraw).

As Finn, now 17, struggles with life after his captivity, the headstrong 15-year-old Gwen 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 and her own family’s history. Together, she and Finn must confront a killer who has grown more powerful in death and more significant to them than either could imagine.
