Speaking on the audience reactions to the film, director Damien Leone remarked "Listen, I would have loved to have a couple of walk-outs, I think that's sort of a badge of honor because it is an intense movie.

The film has gained significant media coverage because of the gore effects, particularly for the "Bedroom Scene," depicting the lengthy murder of the supporting character Allie (Casey Hartnett).

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 85% based on 74 reviews, with an average rating of 6.

Sound/Color correction and VFX are being worked on as we speak but there were a couple of final inserts needed to finish this giant puzzle piece and we spent the last few days grabbing them. Jeffrey Anderson of Common Sense Media described the characters as memorable, particularly Sienna, due to her character development. He goes to the laundromat to clean his blood-soaked garments where he encounters The Little Pale Girl— a mysterious sinister entity in similar clown attire. Funding was exacting as the script was more ambitious than the first film and required a bigger budget.The talented filmmaker and master of tension — who also brought fans significant frights in films like Hush, Gerald’s Game, and Doctor Sleep— focused his brief review on the film’s invention of an elevated sub-genre as well as Lauren LaVera’s “terrific” performance as the protagonist, Sienna.

The Coven Films, a French distribution company and executive producer of the series, announced in May 2023 that filming for the third would begin in either November or December of that year with an expected release in late 2024, a "low-mid seven figure budget.

Leone spent three months writing a character-driven screenplay following criticism of the first film's perceived lack of narrative. Matthew Jackson of Paste wrote that "LaVera, tasked with injecting humanity into the sequel, lives up to this task with pure star power.

As Art attempts to eat Jonathan, Sienna is mysteriously resurrected by the sword before she decapitates Art, and rescues Jonathan.
