Nashville Scene favorably reviewed the movie, commenting that the movie was more polished than its predecessor and that it was "structurally innovative and deeply rewatchable". The sequel is set in the 1990s and centers upon a talk show host sent to a farm rumored to have had several alien encounters. Production on the film was severely impacted by the COVID-19 lockdown and LaMantina reported that several elements had to be tweaked or restyled in order to follow lockdown protocol. He also noted that the 1990s was more difficult to portray due to the changes in technology from the 1980s.
