What to Know

Critics Consensus

Sinister 2 has a few ingredients that will be familiar to fans of the original; unfortunately, in this slapdash second installment, none of them are scary anymore.

Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Not half as terrifying as Norwegian black metal, but still one of the better found footage-gimmicked sequels in recent memory. Rated: 2/5 Aug 27, 2015 Full Review Wesley Morris Grantland There comes a point when you have to say no to these horror sequels. There's no skill or idea visible anywhere, just the sound of money being sucked from your pockets. Aug 26, 2015 Full Review Nick Schager The Playlist Ransone's tone-deaf performance helps validate this knuckleheaded story's portrait of cinema as a potential gateway to pain and suffering. Rated: C- Aug 25, 2015 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies ...a profound mess of a movie. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Overall, this is D-level material, and the only genuine shock it delivers is that it didn’t debut on VOD or Netflix. Rated: 1.5/4 May 29, 2022 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Not scary enough to be called a horror film, it isn't funny enough, intentionally anyway, to be a comedy. Rated: 1/5 Feb 3, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

SAMUEL ISAAC R Lastimosamente intenta ser una secuela de los sucesos de la primer película y hace que sea un poco forzoso vincularlos, pues opaca la magia de la primer entrega y crea un ambiente donde el miedo psicológico no resalta como en la primera, generando así momentos de suspenso predecibles pasando del suspenso/terror al drama novelesco Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/24 Full Review Justin Ace V Literally fell off.. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Riccardo D Just a terrible follow-up to the brilliant prequel. The sequel starts where it should have, but maintains nothing of the previous film atmosphere. On the other hand it introduces several new factors that take the tension and scare-factor of the first movie completely out, leaving a bland experience overall. Additional fatal flaw of this sequel is they somehow forgot the "less is more" that when used properly worked so well in the first installment. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review Audience Member Ending blows big dick, unanswered questions, forced sequel Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Steve M Sad, predictable and not frightening. More hours of my life I can’t get back. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Charlie B Doesn't clarify much from the first movie, some very stupid moments. The way they introduced kills was dumb. Overall just a awful sequel to a decent first movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
