Critical response

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 0% based on reviews from 12 critics.[5] Glenn Kenny of The New York Times called it "a thoroughly undistinguished follow-up", and criticized the film's lack of logic.[6] Justin Lowe from The Hollywood Reporter offered the film similar criticism, writing, "Lofing and Cluff’s script blends horror and thriller elements without ever settling on a clear genre choice. The film’s surprising final twist only serves to emphasize its narrative incoherence, precipitated by insufficient backstory and inadequate character development."[7] Brian Tallerico of Roger Ebert.com gave the film a thumbs down, calling it Blumhouse's worst film, and criticised the film's script, shallow characters, story, and overuse of jump-scares.[8]
