First of all, here is my full review of the film: http://myvinylmuse.com/horror-sequel-marathon-sinister-2-2015/
I wrote this as part of a series, wherein I review my 31 favorite horror movie sequels. And this was high on the list. I will never understand how this movie got all the hate. Definitely not as scary as the original, but thrice as original.
This movie was amazing
shareProbably because a lot of people didn't like it, including myself.
And why didn't you like it?
shareIt was a drama not a supernatural thriller.
shareIt was actually both.

it failed miserably as a supernatural thriller
shareCompletely agree. Sinister 2 was as good if not better than the first, in my opinion. All the hate for this film was not deserved.
shareI think it was better than the first one too. I tend not to pay attention whatsoever to critics and just see it anyway, and I've found I've liked things they didn't. No such thing as bad or good, just different perceptions.
'I like the way you made the movies longer. They're better that way.' Sinister
not as good as part one...5/10
shareNo such thing as bad or good, just different perceptions.
Not being funny but couldnt be arsed to read all that. I would yes, apply that same phrase because no one dictates to me what I should like and not like, and I dont care how unpopular it is. If I like it, thats it. Your post seems to be a way of saying that you can't handle people who dont march to the same tune. It doesnt have to be good quality or poor quality for you to like it, it just has to be your thing. Simple.
The Ignore Button. Kills trolls dead. ;)
I stopped listening to critics after "the village" after gaining slight trust, they lost me on "the black swan" both of those movies were praised and both of those movies were terrible!
shareSinister 2 should sweep the academy awards.
shareIt has a 5.4 rating right now. I just gave it a 4. If this movie was anywhere near as good as some make it out to be it'd have a much higher rating.
shareI gave it a 2. The first one I gave a 7.
The first one was genuinely creepy for the most part. The sequel has 0% of the creepiness of the first one, and about 100% more melodrama. It also has about 90% more corny ghost children. I think the critics were generous, actually.

Well, t least I know I won't be agreeing with your reviews
share"will never understand how this movie got all the hate."
seriously? or do you simply don't want to accept it?
"Definitely not as scary as the original, but thrice as original. "
scary? original? it was, just as the first one, a couple of horror microshorts strung together by a rather simplistic alibi story.
Spot on, thx.
shareThe OP should surely think that Gigli is the greatest movie ever. All the critics are wrong, period.
shareThe first Sinister was amazing. Very suspenseful and extremely creepy. I've watched it more than once. Sinister 2 had lots of jump scares. I personally can't stand jump scares, they irritate me more than hell. That and the bad acting with the ghost children. I think once we learned in the first Sinister how the films were made, seeing them being made in the 2nd one just turned into a gore fest instead of a murder mystery.
Again, I would have liked it more if they made the film making more creepy instead of having a jump scare every 10 minutes.
because they don't actually watch the movies
