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.
A woman is frequently is hurt by the main villain, though boys are also abused and killed, so I don't think it's primarily to see a woman be brutalized.
A character tells another to go back to bed after a bad dream, despite knowing her dreams could be significant. He is called out for this later in the movie.
Never onscreen but it’s rather blatantly implied that “the Grabber” does this to children. The last film was more clear about this but there are still child abductions in this one.
There is a fair amount of gore in this movie, specifically against the children being murdered in flashbacks where it shows them being brutalized, burnt or split. There is emphasis on injuries like gashes the characters receive during dreams. One of the characters is missing a portion of their face. A character at the end is bashed into ice, diced with an axe and dragged underwater. The majority of gory scenes happen when a grainy effect is on screen, so you can see it coming.
1) When Gwen sleepwalks to The Grabber's basement, right after she finishes talking on the phone. A man suddenly appears behind her with and there's a loud noise!
2) When they're already at camp, Gwen falls asleep and then feels something scratching her bed. When she looks underneath the bed right next to her, the kid in the yellow jacket appears with a loud noise and appears to be very hurt/bleeding.
3) When Mando is on his office, The Grabber appears outside as a snowman. After talking for a little bit, The Grabber gets angry and the snowman hits Mando's window loudly.
i dont remember how many times but i do know one scene |slight spoilers|
after gwen has had the nightmare where she comes back to the grabbers basement from the first movie, upon exiting the room finney looks back and spits onto the ground. not very audible to me at least but the visual id sorta there. if you know when its coming itd be easy to look away! (no timestamp, i saw in theaters)
theres a scene where gwen is hiding from the grabber in one of her nightmares inside of a fridge. very short scene but could be super anxiety inducing if youre claustrophobic! she DOES get saved by a kind ghost boy though.
