As Finn, now 17, struggles with life after his captivity, his sister 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. (IMDB)
Since we really enjoyed the first movie, we had big hopes for its sequel. Unfortunately, it was a bit too slow to be enjoyable. There is a lot of talking, some good, some ok and a lot just unnecessary.
Some scenes were well done, like the ice skating on the frozen lake and the ambiance was on spot, retro and gritty. Unfortunately, The Grabber, once a menacing man in a mask, has become a joke, incompetent at killing anyone. Most of his victims have a few bruises and scratches at best.
In the end, I managed to stay awake until the end, but I couldn’t have gone through much more.
