Sequel

[edit]

A sequel titled Spirit of the Glass 2: The Haunted was released in the Philippines in November 2017.[3][2][4] A reviewer for Rappler was critical of the movie, as they felt that the first film didn't require a sequel and that "The only thing really scary about 'Spirit of the Glass 2: The Haunted' is the amount of babble one has to endure to get anything out of the film".[5]
