| 0:07.0 | The Welcome in everybody to another H.TGS horror review. |
| 0:34.1 | I am your host, Rob Coakley, joined as always by Dave Wilkins. |
| 0:38.3 | Hello, Rob Coakley. And Jesse's here as well. And today we are reviewing the film Black |
| 0:45.6 | Phone 2 Dream Warriors, I think, is what it's called. Claire ripoff of St. Maranelm Street. Isn't the Korean Warriors? |
| 0:56.0 | No, I'm just referring to, that's my joke about them, |
| 0:59.5 | just completely ripping off Friday the 13th Dream Warriors |
| 1:03.3 | in this movie to some level, |
| 1:06.2 | which is a movie we should review at some point in time |
| 1:08.2 | in the future. We haven't done enough Nightmare |
| 1:09.8 | and Elm Street movies, but I dig digress before we get into this movie review why don't you hit us with a synopsis |
| 1:18.5 | of black phone too dave i will do just that and i will also warn you that this will be filled with |
| 1:23.7 | spoilers it's a relatively new movie so if you want to see it first, go check it out |
| 1:28.7 | and then come back and watch this review. But this is Black Phone 2, directed by Scott Derrickson. |

| 1:50.4 | confront the grabber, a killer who's grown even more powerful in death and borderline invincible |
| 1:56.6 | in exposition. So as I mentioned, this was the second installment of the Black Phone movie. We went and saw the first one in theaters, and we did actually review that, which is exclusive on Patreon if you want to go watch that original review of that movie. But it's been kind of a while. So I actually wish that I rewatched it before I watched this one because it is a direct sequel. It picks up pretty |
| 2:18.4 | much maybe a little bit of time after the first one. I think the kids are a little bit older in this. |
| 2:25.6 | And it's, I have some positives. I have some negatives about this movie. I didn't hate it. I didn't |
| 2:31.1 | love it. So I think it's going to be more negative for me than positive, just because the second two acts for me were, I think there's just too much going on. |
