The Fear Zone: They're Back

The Fear Zone: They're Back is a 2024 psychological horror film based on the book The Fear Zone 2 by K.R. Alexander. The film is a sequel to the 2023 film The Fear Zone, which in turn is also based on the K.R. Alexander book for the same name. The film follows the same five eighth graders from the first film, who are forced to defend themselves when the mysterious entities they encountered return with more mind games.
Released theatrically on October 18, 2024, the film received negative reviews from critics, who criticized the overreliance on jumpscares and the plot, although the performances of the cast were yet again praised. Grossing $32 million on a budget of $18 million, the film was a box office bomb, losing $15 million and cancelling any further sequels.
