📅 Release Date: November 7, 2025
🎬 Director: David Bruckner (returning)
🎭 Starring: Rebecca Hall (rumored), new cast TBD
🎥 Franchise Entry: #2 (sequel to The Night House 2020)

-
The atmosphere of isolation and silence
-
The blurring of reality and hallucination
-
The cosmic horror undertones hinted at through cryptic clues and shadowy presences
The ending left audiences questioning what was real and what was madness.
