Sinister 2 (stylized in marketing as Sinister II) is a 2015 supernatural horror film directed by Ciarán Foy and written by Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill. A sequel to the 2012 film Sinister, it stars James Ransone, reprising his role from the original film, and Shannyn Sossamon. The film follows a former deputy as he attempts to put an end to a malevolent deity's curse after an encounter with a family that fell victim to it, while a boy is tormented by the victims who lived in the house where he, his twin brother, and mother now reside. Unlike the first film, which utilized 8 mm film in the story's home movies and snuff films, Sinister 2 utilized 16 mm film, vinyl records, and ham radio broadcasts in the film's storyline.
Sinister 2 was a co-production of Alliance Films, IM Global, Blumhouse Productions, Steady Aim Productions, Tank Caterpillar, Inc., and Automatik Entertainment, and released on August 21, 2015, by Focus Features through their Gramercy Pictures banner in the United States, and Entertainment One in Canada and the United Kingdom.[5][6] The film received negative reviews from critics, with criticism for its jump scares, horror clichés and story, while Ransone's performance received some praise. It grossed over $54 million against its reported budget of $10 million.
