Movies like Black Phone 2, ranked

1. The Black Phone (2021)

The original establishes the supernatural phone's haunting mythology and introduces Finney's resourcefulness under extreme duress, making his sister's inherited connection to those same vengeful spirits feel like a natural escalation of the same cosmic horror.

2. The Call (2013)

Director Scott Beck crafts the same suffocating tension through disembodied communication—here a 911 call instead of phantom phone lines—where verbal connection becomes the only lifeline against an unseen predator closing in.

3. Child's Play 2 (1990)

Scott Derrickson's direction brings the same dread-soaked atmosphere and focus on traumatized children confronting supernatural evil that defined the original Black Phone.

4. The Ring Two (2005)

Scott Beck and Bryan Woods' direction channels the same dread-soaked investigation of cursed communication that defines The Ring Two, where surviving the initial threat only opens darker mysteries that demand answers.

5. Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025)

Both films feature young protagonists drawn back into locations haunted by missing children, with Scott Beck and Bryan Woods' direction emphasizing atmospheric dread and the psychological toll of investigating supernatural mysteries tied to past traumas.

6. The Black-Eyed Children (2025)

Scott Beck and Bryan Woods craft another tale of supernatural menace targeting vulnerable youth, where isolated settings and creeping dread build toward encounters with entities that blur the line between psychological and genuinely otherworldly.

7. Bring Her Back (2025)

The bond between traumatized siblings facing supernatural danger at an isolated location—combined with Scott Beck and Bryan Woods' mastery of creeping dread—makes this a natural pairing for fans of the Derrickson-esque tension that defined Black Phone 2.

8. Gone (2012)

The lingering psychological toll of captivity and a sibling's disappearance drive both narratives, as protagonists haunted by past trauma must confront whether their fears are real or manifestations of their fractured minds.
