I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Modern horror sequels are often failures. I thought that as the first film wasn't great that I wouldn't be as disappointed if this film turned out to be bad. I was wrong, Compared to this, the first instalment was a masterpiece and this made me realise how it was successful at achieving its goals sometimes.'Sinister 2' was quite scary in places. No doubt, the cinema playing the film super loud helped elevate the jump scares though. The creepy depictions of murder in the first film were crazily overdone in this.The screenplay was terrible. The main story was stale and predictable and the characters were unsympathetic and cold.The performances were poor all over this film in particularly the ghost children seemed like they were performing a rubbish school pantomime.Overall, I can't be too surprised with what I thought of this film but, sadly, I can see sequels for this being churned out more and more in the future.

This movie was absolute rubbish. I'd be generous if I were to call it a scary movie because it was far from that. It was a drama with some scary parts--if that much.Buguul is after new prey and he's found them. A mother has ran away from her extremely abusive ex-husband and she has her two sons in tow. One of these two sons is chosen for the deed of offing his family. The majority of the movie is exposition about the mom, her ex, and the one ex machina character that is trying to prevent the next massacre. It is so bogged down with drama and visible ghosts that you wonder if they're even trying for horror. I contend that they were not. I think they figured they wouldn't be able to make a good horror sequel anyway so why try. Let's just use the same title, the same antagonist and somewhat of the same plot, throw in a couple of very unlikeable characters and then people will lap it up. This movie was lazy, over the top and just plain hard to watch. If everyone was killed in this drivel I would have been more inclined to applaud. There was no mystery to uncover, there were no characters that were beloved and there was nothing scary about this movie. It was sinister what they did to the viewers.

I really liked the first Sinister. So much that I just recently watched it again. The original is old school horror with a proper story, good characters, great style and direction and very little if no gore. I wasn't expecting much of this sequel looking at the score here, but it was better than I thought.The story is pretty good, it's kind of continuation from the first movie and Deputy So & So is the lead this time. I think he makes a good lead character here, kind of a lone wolf. I was thinking he could easily pull off a Sinister series, either movies or TV.This sequel has a bit different feel to it, but it's still relatively low key and slow paced. The direction is good and the movie has the looks of a proper movie, it doesn't feel cheap. Unless maybe for the lack of a-list cast.The story isn't necessarily quite as gripping as the original, but the family drama is quite well put together to fill in the story. This movie also goes to explain a little how the whole bughool story got started, would've liked to have more of it as it was quite good.I found this sequel in a way more scary than the first one. The original is more of an old school drama and psychological horror, but this sequel leans more into modern horror that really makes you feel uneasy. The 16mm movies are still spooky, but they're also a lot gorier and IMO more disturbing. I prefer the original here as I'm not too much into gore. I think this would've worked with less graphic scenes just as well. There's plenty of jump scares too and sound fx to match.All in all, this is a well made horror movie. Not quite as good as the original, but definitely not as bad as it's said to be.
