Wokeness

2/10

Minimal

A couple of light references, nothing that drives the story.

Audience

No ratings

Black Phone 2 mostly avoids Hollywood's woke pitfalls, delivering thrills without DEI drivel or feminist lectures. However, subtle anti-Western jabs and mockery of Christian guidance—via dialogues ridiculing Bible-quoting women as devilish—sneak in, undermining traditional values with unnecessary cultural snark.

What earned the score

Biblical Ridicule Mocking Christians

A woman quotes the Bible to urge the teen girl to focus on 'lovely' things while the girl insists on pursuing truth, resulting in the woman accusing her of devilish influence.
Anti-Christian Dialogue Critique

The film features criticism of unhelpful 'Christians' as part of its dialogue and character interactions.

Details

Four years after escaping The Grabber, Finney Blake is struggling with his life after captivity. When 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 become determined to solve the mystery and confront a killer who has grown more powerful in death and more significant to them than either could imagine.
