Sinister 2

"[The] big problem with Sinister 2 (and with a lot of fright flicks produced by Blum House) is that the ending is fantastically unsatisfying (...) Are there scares? Sure. (...) But Sinister 2 doesn’t know what it wants to be, and doesn’t add up to much." 

"Despite Mr. Ransone's goofy charm, 'Sinister 2' can't claim the same finesse, substituting pedestrian plotting and a more graphic gore for the original's restraint." 

"A serviceable if somewhat redundant horror sequel (...) it’s somehow both too drawn-out and abrupt — but it’s got creepiness galore. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)" 

"A retread of such brainless, shameless lameness that it’s hard to imagine anyone begging for another installment." 

"Visual stakes are heightened here, to an absurd, laugh-inspiring degree, the deaths sliding into the realm of “Saw”-style ridiculousness." 

"Sinister for sure, although not particularly scary. (...) Sinister 2 comes up a bit short on creative resources, although director Ciaran Foy probably gets enough right to entice those partial to the original." 

"Say one thing for these killer kids: they’re creative."
