, promises a dive into the haunted memories of the past, but the script by Scott Teems delivers little more than a stifling yawn. Alongside Wilson, the film stars Ty Simpkins, Rose Bryne and Sinclair Daniel. concluded, with Josh Lambert and his suppressed memories of “The Further.” It then abruptly shifts to the solemn setting of the funeral of Josh’s mother, Lorraine .
In this grief-stricken state, Josh and Dalton attempt to rekindle their bond on a road trip to Dalton’s new school. Their attempt to reconcile, however, collapses due to an unresolved argument, showcasing a family war connected to their haunting past. At college, Dalton is surprised to find a female roommate, Chris , due to a clerical error. The two strike up a friendship as she accepts his quirks and avoidant demeanor.
When they finally do, the result is chaotic and bewildering thanks to sloppy editing and a lack of cohesiveness as the story moves all over the series’ timeline and presents a lot of surface level ideas it has no intentions of expounding upon. The closer the characters get to the truth, and consequently death, the more it spirals into confusion and monotony.
The relationships between characters also feels flat here as there is no emotional connective tissue holding them together. The introduction of Chris was meant to add a layer of levity, but instead it only contributes to the film’s convolution.

Despite coming in at less than two hours, the film feels like a three-hour ordeal — a cardinal sin in the fast-paced horror genre.
