Sinister isn't the first horror film to spring to mind that's gained a sequel. Read this review on the basis that you've seen the original. Ethan Hawke and his family are long gone, the evil bogey-man and his evil children relocated to other properties, including one residing a woman and her two sons. The policeman from the original, weirdly named Deputy So & So (James Ransone), investigates the property and its inhabitants. Unlike Hawke's excursion, So & So's casts the bogey-man in light for all to see. The shocks are erratic, neither heavy or light, yet quick off the mark. Sinister 2 engages well, putting the Collins' family in the heart of everything that takes place. The murderous history comes across stronger than ever, pushing the sick and twisted envelope to the max. Both the son's acting are dark, the cop turned private investigator the weakest for being weak. Sinister 2 upholds the original concept whilst making its own way through the horror scene. Expect a third, or even a fourth film very soon.

3.5/5
