I couldn't help but notice the cliffhanger at the end. This is a gift back for being so good to us. I said to Emily, every single page that I was writing: 'Is this good enough for the audience that was so generous in their reception of the first movie?' I need this to be basically for them. The real truth of why I made a sequel is because it had to be worthy of the amount of generosity we got on the first one. I think it's important for us as people who are making movies to acknowledge that. I think there's always that fear that a sequel isn't going to live up to the first. You've connected the two films, and how much more am I in this movie? 'Cause I need to be in it more. How are you going to make it better than that?'

And it's because you haven't been listening for it. The second thing is, when sound goes away, then all of a sudden you start hearing that weird little sound that's being made from your basement or something, and the trees rattles. That's what's so terrifying about it.Д®verybody, I think, has in their imagination that when it goes to quiet, something feels unnerving immediately.

I think that in the absence of sound, we start hearing more sounds. Why do you think quiet freaks us out so much? If you're more scared about them, then the movie's going to feel scarier.

And so when they get to the end of that path, it's both literal and metaphorical every single step, now, could be their last. It was intentional that once the family leaves this ecosystem of trust and safety, they now have to go out into the world not knowing what their next step is going to lead them to. As I was writing this movie, I realized it was going to be bigger and scarier, but not because it's a sequel-because that's what's happening to the family.

It was, only because I had no intention of making a sequel just for a sequel's sake. It will stream on Paramount+ later this summer.Д¬ompared to the first, this film really amped up the level of jump scares and jarring, sudden moments.

Seeing as the Abbots spend the full 97 minutes of the film trying to avoid coming into contact with them at all costs, this makes complete sense.
