Fresh and Exciting

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

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.

The only people that could possibly like this type of crap must be very sick and twisted which believe me isn't something to be proud of. About the only thing going for this film is that you can imagine the people who are getting off on watching it in the position of all the people/families in the film being killed. Enjoying crap like this dosn't make you anything more than a deranged and total and utter freak, it's just that simple. You should be locked up along with the producers.

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.

Sinister 2 got a lot of hate from critics when it was released. But I really don't understand why I got so much hate and harsh criticism. Now I don't think it's as good as the first one, but I really don't think it's bad. The acting is pretty solid from all the cast members, even the children. The tense scenes and the scare/creepy factor is pretty high, as it should be in a film like this. I really like the children actors, I thought they were impressive, especially for their age. The mother and the abusive husband were also played very well. I do have one complaint for this film, and that is that it seems to me that some scenes were skipped or left out, in the ending it seems like there was something missing, seemed like things happened really fast, faster than usual, but that's really all that I have complain about. No this is not the best horror film out there, but this is still pretty satisfying. It is thrilling, creepy when it needs to be, and the acting is good. 7/10 for Sinister 2.
