Breakout final girl Maika Monroe recently teased the tone and feel for They Follow and calls director David Robert Mitchell "brilliant."
“But as you know with the first film, I'm not taking any credit in this, David is brilliant. I mean, he is brilliant. The whole movie transformed at that point. It was changing the game in the genre, and he wouldn't ever make a sequel if he didn't think it was going to top it. He's very specific, turns down so many… He just knows what he wants to do and what he wants to make. I mean, at first I'm like, “Oh, a sequel? Where are we going to go here?” And I read it, and it's just so fucking good. It's so good. I'm so excited. I think where you'll meet Jay at this point is maybe not what's expected, but it's so cool. It's just, of course, as everyone says for sequels, literally, though, is just bigger and darker and more fucked up. Reading it was the craziest thing ever.”
