‘O Telefone Preto 2’ Opens in Brazil With Bigger Supernatural Stakes

Early reviews commend heightened scares with standout performances.

Overview

  • The sequel began its Brazilian theatrical run on October 16 with showtimes confirmed in Caruaru and across Paraíba.
  • Set four years after the first film, the plot finds Finney and Gwen confronting a vengeful Sequestrador who preys through dreams.
  • Critics note a shift in focus toward Gwen, praising Madeleine McGraw’s turn alongside Ethan Hawke’s still-frightening villain.
  • Reviews credit Scott Derrickson’s return for increased tension yet criticize the dream-attack device as too close to A Nightmare on Elm Street.
  • Regional chains including Cinépolis, Cinesercla, Centerplex and Cinemaxxi list sessions in João Pessoa, Campina Grande, Remígio, Patos and Guarabira.
