The film was shot in Albuquerque and Zia Pueblo, New Mexico, from November 14 until December 15, 2014.[1]
Reception
Dennis Harvey of Variety described it as "a belated, barely related sequel generic enough to make the eminently forgettable 2007 original look like an oasis of cinematic personality".[2]
