Hiding from her abusive, estranged husband, Courtney Collins lives in a rural house with her 9-year-old twins, Dylan and Zach. Young Dylan receives nightly visits from ghoulish kids who show him disturbing images of families being slaughtered. It's all part of the grand plan of Bughuul, the evil spirit who recruits innocent children to murder their loved ones. The only hope for his intended new victims may be a former deputy who's familiar with Bughuul's fiendish work from the past.

The sequel to the 2012 sleeper hit horror movie. 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. © Focus

As the ghost children who are Bughuul's past victims require the boys to watch home movies of murder, the film ritualizes the ‘aesthetic observance of violence’ (to quote one character) that gives its particular bogeyman – and the horror genre – Commercial Appeal

In most respects, it's an improvement over its predecessor, but it's still more of the same with better characters. – Mountain Xpress
