The original film works as a self contained story. I think a sequel will ruin the mystery and lore.
Maybe. What makes the thing scary is how unstoppable and inevitable of a force it is, no matter what you do and no matter where you go. I'll be disappointed if they somehow find a way to kill it in the sequel.
Understanding it or figuring out where it came from would be even worse than killing it. The characters knowing almost nothing except what they observe directly is what makes it so terrifying.
Yeah, explaining the mystery of it, I think, would ruin it. The mystery is part of what makes it work.
They didn’t even get through an entire movie without ruining that mystique. It wasn’t very “unstoppable and inevitable” when it was just standing on the roof of a house, or when it just grabbed that girl by the hair but failed to do any damage.
Until it happens to befall a depressed or suicidal person who just goes "fuck it" and let's it catch up. What then? The curse cannot be passed on so it's essentially just over forever, right?
The way I remember the rules, it'd follow the previous person again
If we don't really know how how it started, how would we know if running out of victims ends the threat?
It also functioned well as a metaphor for growing up/loss of innocence. I'm not sure how well it will go trying to explore that theme further using the same metaphor.
I can dig it
