In order to make this sequel as surprising as possible, filming was done in complete secrecy in Vancouver, as opposed to Patapsco State Park where the original was shot. The film was originally promoted under the faux-title "The Woods".

Director Adam Wingard stated that, while the first film is about being lost in the woods, this film is about being chased.
