Who wrote and directed the film?

What is not one of the rules of a trilogy?
The killer is superhuman.
The killer survives the end of the movie.
Randy first asks if this is just another sequel, saying that if it is, the same rules apply. However, the rules for a trilogy ("a rarity in the horror field, but it does happen") are "1. You got a killer who's going to be super-human. Stabbing him won't work. Shooting him won't work. Basically, in the third one, you gotta cryogenically freeze his head, decapitate him, or blow him up. 2. Anyone, including the main character, can die. This means you, Sid. I'm sorry. It's the final chapter. It could be f-ing 'Reservoir Dogs' by the time this thing is through. Number 3. The past will come back to bite you in the ass. Whatever you think you know about the past, forget it. The past is not at rest. Any sins you think were committed in the past are about to break out and destroy you. "
Anyone can die, even the main character.
The past will come back to bite you.
Why is Jennifer following Gale?
Because there's safety in numbers
Because the killer really wants Gale
Jennifer begins shadowing Gale, much to the latter's annoyance. When asked, Jennifer explains that "I've got no house, no bodyguard, no movie, and I'm being stalked. Because someone wants to kill me? No, because someone wants to kill you. So, now, starting now, I go where you go. So that if someone wants to kill me, I'll be with you and since they really wanna kill you, they won't kill me, they'll kill you. Make sense?"
Because Dewey told her to
Because she's the killer and she's stalking her next victim

What is Jennifer’s phobia?
Basements
Jennifer states repeatedly in the film that she's afraid of basements because they creep her out. There is no term for the specific fear of basements.
