Why it’s HorroRated

Sinister 2 can't match its predecessor's intimate dread but it finds its own value in expanding the ghost children mythology and centering a protective mother rather than an obsessive father. The home movie sequences remain the franchise's most effective formal element. A sequel that delivers less than the original but more than it usually gets credit for.

Synopsis

Sinister 2 expands the cult around the entity while losing the first film's intimate dread. Ciaran Foy directs a sequel that centers a protective mother rather than an obsessive father, which gives it a different emotional architecture. The home movie sequences remain the most effective element.
