Familiar faces such as Sarah Michelle Gellar (Helen), Freddie Prinze Jr. (Ray), and Jennifer Love Hewitt (Julie) all returned for the sequel, tying into the connections of the new friend group.

Madelyn Cline (Danica), Tyriq Withers (Teddy), and Chase Sui Wonders (Ava) are some of the biggest stars of the newer movie.  Popular from shows such as Outer Banks and movies such as Reminders Of Him.

The movie is a suspenseful horror movie that will have you on the edge of your seat, begging the characters to turn around, or having you so scared you are looking away yourself.

Isabel Ruiz, a fan of the original movie and other thrillers like it said, “I loved the movie.  Seeing the original before this one came out really made me appreciate both the similarities and the differences that there were.”
