Black Phone: 2-Movie Collection 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Justin Dekker January 13, 2026

Collecting both films in the franchise, 'The Black Phone' and 'Black Phone 2' arrive on 4K UHD disc in this 'Black Phone: 2-Movie Collection 4K' courtesy of Universal. Based on a short story by Joe Hill, and directed by Scott Derrickson ('Sinister'), the films see Ethan Hawke ('Daybreakers'), Mason Thames ('How to Train Your Dragon (2025)'), and Madeline McGraw ('Secrets of Sulphur Springs') star in these two chilling tales. The release features solid technical merits and and an assortment of on-disc supplemental features including deleted scenes, several making-of segments, and both sport feature commentaries with Derrickson. Both films are included in this two-disc set, each on its own 4K UHD disc. A slipcover, and a Digital Code redeemable via Movies Anywhere are also included, but Blu-ray discs are not.

Black Phone: 2-Movie Collection 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

As is often the case, the first film here is the better of the two, but the second film has a more visually interesting setting. The cast makes the most of what they're asked to do, but I would have enjoyed a bit more time with Hawke's character overall. Still, there's an interesting sense of parity here, as Finn (Mason Thames) does most of the heavy lifting in the first installment, and success or failure ultimately rests on Gwen's (Madeline McGraw) shoulders in the second. Based on the ending, a third installment seems unlikely, as all loose ends and burning questions are resolved in a tidy manner. But, given the uncanny ability of horror villains to repeatedly return from the grave, I wouldn't count The Grabber out too soon, and the phones may well start ringing again. For fans who have yet to add these two films to their collections, the Black Phone: 2-Movie Collection 4K is certainly the most economical and space-saving method to do so. Recommended.
