Sinister 2 is dumb, clichéd, and worst of all not scary. What made Sinister good, was that it capitalized on it's opportunities to scare, and gave the audience what it wanted, horror. Sinister 2 abandons the approach of the first film, and looses all horror, besides the few jump scares, the film isn't even remotely scary. The lack of horror, and poor acting, leads to the film being very dull. The characters are underdeveloped, the film falls back on horror clichés, the story lacks any intelligence or depth, and there's almost no humor. So in the end, Sinister 2 is a dumb, dull, clichéd, sequel that completely abandons the things the original film did well, most importantly the horror.
