The synopsis of the film reads “Four years after escaping The Grabber, Finney Blake, now 17, is struggling with his life after captivity. His sister Gwen begins receiving calls in her dreams from the black phone and seeing disturbing visions of three boys being stalked at a winter camp. The siblings are determined to solve the mystery and confront a killer who has grown more powerful in death and far more significant to them than either can imagine.”
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).
