Is this a remake or sequel?


I've only seen the trailer. I've never seen the original. From the trailer, it feels like it's a sequel but I mean I could be wrong.

It's on Netflix and I started to watch it a couple minutes ago and it seems like it's a remake. They reference the first movie and said that in 2013 more murders happened.

Actually, it's called a travesty.

Oddly, enough, it is neither one. Since it acknowledges that the original movie exists as an actual film, it is not a sequel. And for this same reason, I don't think it can be labeled a remake, either. Could it be called a "follow-up"? Maybe, but, again, the unusual nature of the acknowledgement of both the original movie and the real-lie history could disqualify that designation. THerefore, it seems to be its own unnamed category.

Wikipedia says it is a "meta-sequel". Whatever that means.

Its self referencing, so its a standalone movie using footage from the original.
