Review of Sinister 2

In a farmhouse near a corn field where Ellison Oswait lived, the boy Dylan (Robert Daniel Sloan) has nightmares and is haunted by ghostly children led by the boy Mile (Lucas Jade Zumann). Dylan lives with his mother Courtney Collins (Shannyn Sossamon), who has just left her abusive husband, and his brother Zach (Dartanian Sloan) and is forced by the ghosts to go to the basement to watch home films in Super 8 of families being slaughtered. Ex-Deputy So & So (James Ransone) is investigating the crime spree of Bughuul (Nicj King) and burning down the houses where the deceased families lived to protect other families. He travels to the farmhouse and finds Courtney and her sons living there. He tells that he is a private investigator and he protects her against a bluff of her ex-husband to keep the children with him. Then he begins a love affair with Courtney. Meanwhile Dylan tells to the ghosts that he will not see any video again but Zach, who is the real choice of the ghosts, replaces him. When their father succeeds in getting a court order to have the custody of the children, Courtney is forced to go with the children. What will happen to the Collins family?

"Sinister 2" is a sequel of "Sinister" with a reasonable story but a very weak conclusion. There are plot holes such as how Zach tied his parents and his brother in the cornfield? Why the ghosts need to make Zach jealous of his brother? Why Zach becomes so bad - he is possessed by the Bughuul but the film does not show him as a victim. How the ex- Deputy and Courtney would explain the deaths? Why the need of a piggyback to a next sequel in the end? My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "A Entidade 2" ("The Entity 2")
