SINISTER 2 is the chilling sequel to the 2012 sleeper hit horror movie, that is in theaters now. Recently, I sat down with stars Shannyn Sossamon and James Ransone, as well as director Ciarán Foy and writer C. Robert Cargill. Check it out below!

In the aftermath of the shocking events in “Sinister,” the evil spirit of Bughuul continues to spread with frightening intensity. The new story is a scary, suspenseful race against time to save a family from falling prey to the madness, movies, and murder conjured by Bughuul and his foot soldiers, the ghost kids.9-year-old twins Dylan and Zach Collins (portrayed by real-life brothers Robert and Dartanian Sloan) have been spirited away by their mother Courtney (Shannyn Sossamon of “Wayward Pines”) to a rural house in Illinois.

The home and property are just isolated enough to evade Courtney’s estranged husband Clint (Lea Coco), who has abused her and Dylan. This protective mother is unaware that the house itself is marked for death…

…but Ex-Deputy So & So (James Ransone, reprising his “Sinister” role), now a private investigator, has deduced that the family’s hideout is the next manifestation spot for Bughuul. Determined to avenge the tragedy he was privy to while on the police force, So & So journeys to the rural residence, intending to burn it to the ground and thereby end Bughuul’s chain of death.

Finding Courtney and the twins there, he realizes that they are in danger from Clint and that he must step in to help them before he can implement a plan of attack against Bughuul.

What neither Courtney nor So & So are aware of is how the ghost kids have already been unsettling Dylan with their disturbing “home movies,” each more sinister than the last.

SINISTER 2 – The Review

4093_D27_081621438292539-560x373

SINISTER 2 shows us just how creepy twins can be [take it from me, I am one]… but does it live up to its predecessor?

Sinister 2 follows a family as they struggle with evil. Courtney Collins (Shannyn Sossamon) moves her twin sons Dylan and Zach (real-life brothers Robert and Dartanian Sloan) to an empty farmhouse while running from the abuse of their father Clint. What she doesn’t expect, is that there are forces much worse in her new home.

Although Bughuul is in SINISTER 2 a bit more, it doesn’t make it scarier than the first film. In my opinion, I found the videos where children were acting out the murders of their families were far more disturbing. Director Ciarán Foy (Citadel) goes out of his way to explain the myth of Bughuul by going into more detail, which just ends up killing a bit of his mystery. I really did enjoy the creepy aesthetic that Foy brought to the film, however, and that it follows the children and their view points more than of the adults. James Ransone returns to do some investigating on his own in this chapter, but he seems to really only be there to move the plot along.

The Sloan brothers worked really well together, and although not identical twins (they actually have a triplet) they looked and acted enough alike to get the point across. Shannyn Sossamon’s character could have been a bit more revealing. They could have built her role up to show more layers, since she is playing an abused wife trying to protect her sons.

Parts of this film are certainly scary. The vintage 8mm films certainly had an eerie quality to them. There were definitely nods to THE SHINING and CHILDREN OF THE CORN, but something was still missing.

SINISTER 2 is enjoyable enough, as long as you don’t over think it. Can you handle that?

OVERALL RATING: 3 out of 5 stars
