Sinister 2

[_____V_____]

Focus Features announced today the cast and synopsis of the sequel, and it includes one character from the first film.

According to Collider, filming on Sinister 2 will begin in Chicago next week. Actress Shannyn Sossamon is taking the lead role as a mom of twin 9-year-old boys, played by Robert and Dartanian Sloan. Symbolizing a connection to the first film is the returning character of James Ransone’s “Deputy So and So.” Here’s the film’s official synopsis (via Collider):

“In the aftermath of the shocking events in Sinister, a protective mother (Shannyn Sossamon of Wayward Pines) and her 9-year-old twin sons (real-life twins Robert and Dartanian Sloan) find themselves in a rural house marked for death. James Ransone, who portrayed the concerned sheriff’s deputy in Sinister, will be reprising his character in Sinister 2.”

We recently reported that Scott Derrickson, director of 2012′s Ethan-Hawke starring Sinister, is handing the directing reigns of the sequel to Ciaran Foy (Citadel). Derrickson is staying involved as a producer, and he also co-wrote Sinister 2‘s script with C. Robert Cargill. The duo also scripted the first film, which stayed true to efficient Blumhouse Productions form by hauling in more than $87 million on a $3 million budget. Also producing the sequel is Jason Blum.

Best news I've heard all day. May the Sinister franchise begin.

[horcrux2007]

I haven't seen Sinister, but it's on my list for reviewing this month (I think next Monday), and I'm really looking forward to watching it.

See it ASAP, with the lights off.

I didn't really like Sinister all that much, got bored with all the endless research scenes but i may give it a second look

And at night with a few drinks. The movie is great.

I think I remember being concerned about a sequel when I reviewed Sinister. But Shannyn Sossamon is usually pretty good. I'm trying to forget that horrible Asian horror remake she was in. But I'm sure that movie wasn't her fault.

[horcrux2007]

See it ASAP, with the lights off.

Okay, watching it now with my friend on skype and the lights off.

[tfantasy]

I can only hope it's as good as the first one!!!!!

[utahman1971]

I agree, if this is good as the first one, then I am definitely going to see this one. I really enjoyed the first one.

[HorrorHound9]

Sinister rocked, but the SOUNDTRACK was awesome. Best in years. Surprised more people don't talk about that.

[abcodi]

I can't wait for this! i just loved sinister 1!:shocked:

[Baron Von Marlon]

I'm not sure about this one.
We already know how the evil entity works so I'm afraid it would be more of the same.
Unless they changed the rules and the mythology but then the first movie might make less sense.
I would rather see the cop and the university professor teaming up and digging into the origin of the evil and such.

[ImmortalSlasher]

I too think the potential for a mess up is there. From the first movie we now know how Bagul works. So you have one or two characters if not the whole police department that should be aware. I wonder how this will work for the sequel.

[NightOfTheLiving_Sam]

Man I'm really excited about this! I hope they don't ruin the sequel.

[tfantasy]

Same here!!!!!!

[horcrux2007]

The trailer was released today. What do you think of it?

I think it could be alright. Doesn't look as good as the first one though.

[Gears-of-Warren]

Where the hell is Ethan Hawke?

Where the hell is Ethan Hawke?

Spoilers: he died at the end of the first Sinister

[ImmortalSlasher]

Where the hell is Ethan Hawke?

I guess you didn't see the first one.

I'm not going to watch the trailer. I love the first movie. I'm worried that the second won't be as good but I'm going to see it anyway. I think the cast is good from what I remember in the original topic about the sequel.

I'm slightly disappointed with the trailer to be honest. I'll still try to see it if people say it's alright. They showed off Baghuul too much from what I saw, and there's a much heavier emphasis on the children. I'm mostly excited to see the super 8 films. Even if the rest of the movie is bad, those should be pretty awesome!

[DeadbeatAtDawn]

I liked the first one until it was all 'revealed'

It lost it for me but, but I'll give this a look.

I personally liked the ending of Sinister. It went a direction I didn't expect.

[tfantasy]

I'm all over it!! I love the first one so I hope this one will be pretty close to it!!

[Vig]

No I watched the original. I was just being a sarcastic buttmunch.

[horcrux2007]

Here's the red band trailer. I actually liked this trailer more than the first trailer.

[Amalthea_unicorn]

I had been waiting.

[Roiffalo]

JFC what a fun trailer. I'd love to see it. Watched the first with my Aunt some time ago, maybe she'd like to go to the movies and see the second::smile::

[horcrux2007]

I'll write a review when I get back home, but it was just terrible from start to finish.

Why not quote yourself from last seen contemporary topic?

Just saw it today myself and could stand to talk about a few points. I'll save for later though cause doing this from my phone is a pain.

Sinister 2 (2015)

When I had originally heard that there was going to be a sequel to Sinister, one of my favorite horror films, I was pretty excited to say the least. Then, early spring this year, the first official trailer was released. I suddenly felt less enthusiastic about the movie, but I still held on some hope that it could be a decent follow-up to the original, until I finally saw it tonight. I read the signs but ignored the warnings, and my punishment was an astonishingly disappointing sequel. Sinister 2 takes place some time after the events of the original film and follows Deputy So And So (that's seriously how he's credited in the film). He has become obsessed with tracking down murders and child abductions that could be linked to an ancient pagan deity named Baghuul, who coerces a child into killing their family and takes the child's soul. It leads him to a farmhouse near the site of a mass murder in a church which he expects to find empty. When he arrives at the house, So and So sees that a mother and twin sons have already moved into the house, and one of the twins is the subject of midnight show-and-tell with the ghost kids' kill tapes. From the first ten minutes, I noticed that something felt terribly wrong about this movie. Deputy So and So was nothing more than comic relief in the original film, and, outside of the big plot twist at the end, he can hardly carry more than a scene by himself, let alone an entire movie. While he is a generally likable character, Deputy So and So just isn't cut out to carry an entire film by himself. His character actually made the movie funnier than it was scary, and there was very little to be afraid of in this movie. If you've seen the trailer, and I'm not exaggerating, every single scare is spoiled in the trailer, and there aren't any surprises left for you. It seems like the filmmakers thought that showing Baghuul off as much as possible could make the sequel scarier than the original, but what made the original so terrifying is that Baghuul was just a shadow in the back of the tapes. You rarely saw him for more than just a glance, and it was scary as hell. In Sinister 2, however, you can practically count the buttons on his black overcoat because he's shown so profusely throughout the movie. Along with a ridiculously over-the-top abusive husband side plot, a weak script and bland direction, Sinister 2 is one of the biggest disappointments of the year for horror.

I didn't think it was that terrible. It had decent story and build up. My problem though was that the male lead reminded me of Anthony Perkins' Norman Bates so I kinda went in with that feeling of familiarity and was really hoping he'd make it out ok. But I can't argue that he made the film more humorous than scary.

My only real problem was the ending really. Making the kid the killer could of worked, but the execution was dumb as fuck. How did the kid manage to move not only his brother but his mother and full grown violent father to crucifixes and drag them up in the middle of a cornfield... shouldn't he have been easily over powered?

Which got only worse when the three left alive ran from the little prick. Ooo he's got a sickle our days are so numbered! He's like 4ft tall just punt the little bastard! Even beating him with a cornstalk should have incapacitated him enough to take away the sickle and ground his bratty ass.


And the hotel last attempt for a jump scare was just pathetic. Didn't even make sense...

[1beastieibe]

I was so disappointed with this sequel, but I went in with low expectations from what I viewed in the trailers.
When I first saw Sinister back in 2012 I knew very little about it except it appeared as a ghost story starring Ethan Hawke. I was blown away by the 8mm films in the movie and thought the first half of the movie was terrifying and intense. It all started going downhill for me after that seen where Bughuul shows up on the computer screen and then there was the ghost children and it all started to get a little hokey. I felt the ending was strong but it should have ended with the Oswalt's death and no ghost kids running around and being lame. I still left the movie scared of this entity I knew very little about and I couldn't get those 8mm films outta my mind.
Well Sinister 2 falls flat on everything that made Sinister so unnerving. The whole movie is those ghost kids running around and being lame and Bughuul is basically hanging out in every scene waiting for someone to notice him. There was no surprise with the 8mm films and the way they were shown in the movie was irritating. They kept zooming in and out of them so you could watch the kids watching them, which made them less effective. The "Fishing Trip" film could have been a great scare but I barely could see what was happening. We never even got to see the Dentist film but I suppose it doesn't matter.
I was really sad to see a sequel that could have been so much better turned into this predictable mess of a movie. I really always hoped they would do a prequel instead and maybe tie it into the first movie.
Well I guess if your scared of pale children and have to constantly see the villain then this would be a good sequel. To me it was somewhat entertaining but I couldn't believe they strayed away from what made the first film so great.

[Roiffalo]

^ Reminded me of something my Aunt and I thought after viewing Sinister 2. We could've sworn they had different writers or something. After IMDBing them I found they had the writers were the same. Surely that couldn't be it then... However while one of the writers (Scott Derrickson) directed the first one he did NOT direct the second. Could that have been where it went wrong?

[horcrux2007]

I walked out right before the hotel scare at the end because I knew EXACTLY what was going to happen, then I hear the big booming jump scare noise as I'm walking out. Something else I noticed about this movie is it had the loudest jump scares in any horror movie I've seen in theatres. They cranked up the speakers to 11. Not even Insidious: Chapter 3 was that loud.

[Roiffalo]

I hate the loud noises for jump scares. They rely more on the sound to frighten you than the actual scare. I confess I did jump a few times, but I'm sensitive to sound so it was more in reaction to that than fear. After I realize a scare happened I just roll my eyes.

[scaryminda15]

It looked so good and i gave it a shot an i was really disappointed reminded me of children of the corn with the parents

[Pleasant Nightmares]

Great... I was really looking forward to this, especially seeing "Deputy So-and-so" take the lead. He amused me in the first. But from what I'm hearing here, it sounds like I should avoid it. And yet, I just can't. I'm gonna wind up having to see it, and I know I'm gonna regret it now. :(

Everyone has different opinions. You may like it despite popular views. At least rent it before relying on reviews. 8)

[MichaelMyers]

Loved this sequel. The audience screamed with terror at every turn. A couple of people got up and left for a good ten minutes they were so frightened.

[MichaelMyers]

Honestly Bagul just wants a friend, someone with who he can watch movies and chill.

Good. That's what I like to hear. Even if it's not as good as the first, at least it will be entertaining.

[ImmortalSlasher]

I finally saw Sinister 2 and although I didn't think it was that bad. I think for some reason the people behind the movie did exactly the thing no one wanted to see for the sequel. Which is show and explain what was going on in the original movie. The quotes from the writer here:

http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Sinister-3-Going-Happen-Here-What-Writer-Says-74377.html

explain the disastrous method of thinking behind Sinister 2 that pretty much destroyed the chance of a Sinister 3.

And who thought it was a good idea to add the husband character? I mean I know the reasoning behind it. But still, nothing in the original movie is so stupid like that.

[horcrux2007]

The abusive husband side plot was ridiculously over the top and unnecessary. I guess it gave her a reason to try to move out and further Baghuul's pattern, but it was executed so poorly.

[Smeg Head1]

I liked James Ransone in this. IMO he was the best thing about this movie. The rest was forgettable.

I thought it was just to have a victim. Something that wasn't needed in the original because it was so tense.
