Luiz Filipe N F Never saw one big disparity between two sequel movies like these... The Sinister 2 looks like a very amateur movie... Very disappointing...

leo_pcolle Terrible end... two adults running away from a kid.... please...

Michael Ledo Mom (Shannyn Sossamon) and her twin sons are escaping an abusive husband (Lea Coco) a guy who we want to see die. They move into a house that has child ghosts and snuff films which we get to see early and often. Enter James Ransone, an investigator from the first film, who runs interference from the husband and ghosts.The film doesn't lacks a decent twist ending. They could have left the jerky camera out too. Like most sequels it offers some more explanation and leads into another sequel. If you liked the first film, you should like this one too. 3 1/2 stars.Guide: F-bomb. Implied sex. No nudity.

farchettiensis To be brief, I will say that this is a different breed of movie than its prequel. Mediocre at best, while the level of violence seems to have increased, this a terrible horror flick and a bad movie. The drama is centered around a family conflict - a mother who has run away from her violent husband in order to protect her children. The husband is relentless is his pursuit for his children. Meanwhile, the vulnerable mother meets former sheriff deputy "so and so", with whom she develops a connection of a sort. This plot is almost independent of the Bughul subplot. It's almost an excuse rather than a genuine plot. Therefore, most of the movie feels artificial; emotions are not genuine. The first movie had the excellent acting of the protagonist (and the movie pretty much centers around him), whereas this one has a goofy former deputy and a troupe of cruel ghost-children. In general, it's not just the acting that has gone down a notch, but the very denouement of such an artificial, extremely clichéd plot made the acting feel much worse than it really was. For me, besides the attempt to create faux emotions, using violence as an instrument to shock, rather than a good story, one of the worst things of this movie was that it was effectively "dumbed down". It abused of the characters to communicate the entire mystery of the Bughul entity. With no mystery, there is no horror. This is why they had to recur to more violence, increased apparitions of supernatural figures (remember in the first movie when you hardly ever saw the Bughul?) to create reactions you can't create by doing a good, intelligent movie.There's nothing "dark" and disturbing in this movie. The word "disturbing" is what comes to my mind when I think of the first movie; not for this one, in spite of the use of some similar resources. I'm horror movie veteran, so I'm not easily shocked by gore. I don't mind the clever use of film-making resources to create an atmosphere, to elicit emotional responses, and so on. But, if that's all there is to it, then there really isn't much at all.The movie is watchable. It's not a good horror movie; it doesn't have any of the attributes of a good horror movie. It's a poor excuse for a sequel. 4/10.
