I liked the first film's story I don't think it was a good film on a technical level and that let it down a little con conveying some of the dramatic aspect's of the story

But the overall concept was interesting and the ending did leave me wondering how the rest of oldmans life would play out but I do feel that it is more interesting as an open ending. Continuing the story can only take something away from the intreage of the story .

All that can really do is take the story in a very different direction or retired the same ground I hope that pull it off but I am skeptical that can pull it off

you will have to forgive the lack of full stops lack of proper spelling im dyslexic but not stupid

I eagerly await this sequel, but I too am skeptical, mainly because of how much David Lee Smith aged in between the movies. John Oldman will looked to have aged.

John Oldman beginning to age is part of the new story.

Ah, so they'll still be playing with the idea of whether or not he was lying or telling the truth. Not sure I like that. I liked the reveal at the end of the first movie.

I'm skeptical too. The first movie was so good ... because they kept it simple.
But I am interested in finding out.
