Visual stakes are heightened here, to an absurd, laugh-inspiring degree, the deaths sliding into the realm of “Saw”-style ridiculousness. Read full review

Sinister 2 may be ambitious, but its best ideas are, as they're expressed, dumb, unmoving, and repetitive. Read full review

Sinister 2 is far from perfect, but it has a nobility that’s rare in much modern horror cinema. Read full review

Not half as terrifying as Norwegian black metal, but still one of the better found footage-gimmicked sequels in recent memory. Read full review

Nothing about Sinister 2 comes close to the feel-bad ode to literally and figuratively dark interiors that distinguished the title-earning original. Read full review

A retread of such brainless, shameless lameness that it’s hard to imagine anyone begging for another installment. Read full review

Honestly, I loved the movie. I really connected with the characters and they were all well developed. Couple this with a 'tension' filled environment. It is a worthy sequel. Do not listen to the critics.

Definitely not as good as the first film, but just as eerie, disturbing and well shot as it. The plot is a little contrived, but that's alright because the overall creativity of this film overcomes its small list of cons
7/10 good but not great add on to an already horrifying story
Must see

despite having some interesting ideas sinister 2 is a very non scary horror film that is a complete copy of of the first film and is clearly just repeating stuff in the first film that people liked but in this sequel none of these things have a purpose in this sequel.

Talk about disappointment. While Sinister offered a cool, dark, indie, horror story, this sequel proves to be useless. Take into account that I'm a weasel in horror movies, but can actually have an appreciation for the good ones. Put simply, NOT a deserving follow-up. Even the actors, man.Talk about disappointment.

Take into account that I'm a weasel in horror movies, but can actually have an appreciation for the good ones. Put simply, NOT a deserving follow-up. Even the actors, man. After having Ethan Hawke in the first one, I'd at least expected some quality performances. To end on a lighter note, it's not the worst horror film ever, but falls short from that list.… Expand

Oh GOD!!!!

Sinister is my favorite horror movie ever(or my favorite horror movie of the 21 century) and this is what i get to as a reward to love a great horror movie?! Yep, Sinister 2 is horrible, with bad story, bad dialogues and kids trying to act like scary ghosts. The thing that iOh GOD!!!!

Sinister is my favorite horror movie ever(or my favorite horror movie of the 21 century) and this is what i get to as a reward to love a great horror movie?!

Yep, Sinister 2 is horrible, with bad story, bad dialogues and kids trying to act like scary ghosts. The thing that i really love in the first movie is Ethan Hawke watching the tapes, but, why did it get into a extreme gore level?!

Sinister 2 has nothing, nothing to love or nothing to like, with a lot of stupid peekaboos coming from nowhere, horror cliches everywhere and nothing that makes sense. This sequel does not honor his predecessor and i hope Sinister does not become a trilogy.

Hey, at least is not worse than Paranormal Activity Ghost Dimension ¯_(ツ)_/¯… Expand
