Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This marks Patrick Wilson's directorial debut after nearly two decades of being the franchise's haunted dad. He reportedly took the job because he wanted to explore Josh's perspective after four films of suffering.
The film's college setting and suppressed memory angle reflect early 2020s horror's obsession with processing trauma through generational lenses—though critics argued it handled this less elegantly than Hereditary or The Babadook.

Reactions from the web
The MRI scene is terrifying Edit : I didn’t really find the scene that scary but the idea of actually being in that situation, trapped with nowhere to go.

I remember being afraid sleeping with the lights off after watching the first one in 2010 when I was in high school. One of the best horror movies.

Seeing Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye, and especially Ty Simpkins back as Dalton was biggest treat this trailer had to offer.
