Scott Derrickson’s 2012 horror joint
Sinister doesn’t break from the well worn horror path, full
of genre tropes like creepy little kids, the sound of footsteps when no one is
there, and a perpetually dark house, even in the middle of the day. Still, it
managed to be atmospheric, genuinely eerie, and was a solid fright fest.
Unfortunately, Ciaran Foy’s Sinister 2 doesn’t deliver in
the same manner.
