Sinister 2 (2015)

That was an excellent one.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Its not as bad as many say, but its definitely not good either. I call it average similar to Transformers or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The bad guy is back and is trying to recruit more kids to murder on his behalf. The problem however, is the story throws to much nonsense at you. You have the obligatory violent divorcee dad who owns half the state and has all the cops and judges in his pocket while he beats his wife and kids. You have children pretending to be scary, which falls flat. The ghost kids are just annoying, and no scary at all though i suppose they might be scary to kids. But kids are not watching this movie, adults are. The ending is a major laugh. You literally have a 10 year old running around with a camera in one hand and sickle in the other against 2 adults and another 10 year old... and they ran away from him lol. But wait the comedy is not over yet. The ran away on foot when there was a perfectly functional car 5 feet away from them which the man used to run down the camera kid just 30 second earlier... And it gets better, they get to their home and instead of arming themselves, they run and hide. Really? Can you imagine the Shining with a axe wielding 10 year old kid instead of Jack Nickleson? Thats what you have here and yes, it is as funny as it sounds.But anyway, the 1st half of the film was ok until the wife beating dad shows up conveniently to push the story forward. It became silly from then on.

One of my favorite movies! Disturbing, suspense, tension ... there is everything. The presence of children makes the thrilling film. It is a film to see in the daytime, because at night you will not sleep. :-) Excellent atmosphere and acting. Children are very good, and there are scenes that make me shudder. I advise!

A single mom, Courtney (Shannyn Sossamon), wanting a fresh start, moves her 9-year old twins Dylan (Robert Daniel Sloan) and Zach (Dartanian Sloan), into a rural home that seems marked for death. Courtney is unaware of the home's dark legacy until a hideous demonic spirit (Nicholas King) makes his presence known. And he has a reputation for seeking children's souls. A young deputy (James Ransone), knowing what has previously happened at the location, tries to warn the new dwellers about foreboding misery and death.Other players include: Tate Ellington, John Beasley, Lea Coco, Laila Haley and Michael Woods.

The point of a horror sequel is to answer the questions that the first film left hanging or to expand on the story - this did neither. All questions of who and why the murders took place were all answered in the first film so in this film we know who the murderers would be and why and, considering we could see the ghost guiding them from the very beginning, this removed all suspense from the film - at every point in the film we knew what was going to happen next and how it was going to end. watching the "snuff" films in the first film were, naturally, disturbing - in this film they were just dumb and STILL didn't explain how a young child could tie up every other member of their family before killing them. About as "sinister" as the Teletubbies and just as predictable.
