Aug 20, 2015 · But for the most part, "Sinister 2" is Bughuul's show. Which is a shame since Bughuul doesn't seem like an extension, or a thoughtful compliment to Dylan and Zach and Courtney's familial struggles. Bughuul, a fright-mask-and-tuxedo-wearing demon better known as "The Boogeyman," gets children to kill their own families, and film their murder sprees.

If you’ve seen Sinister and plan on going to Sinister 2 because it looks scary, beware that Sinister 2 doesn’t reiterate the rules from the first film, so you might be a little lost. If you’re a spoiler-shouter who hasn’t seen Sinister but is still reading, stop. But if you stop reading here just know that from a horror perspective, from a family drama perspective, from a character perspective -- every angle of this movie series -- Sinister 2 is a laugh-out-loud experience. It’s abysmal, but fun to make fun of.
Sinister was a divisive film for horror and serial-killer movie fans. The first half played like a serial-killer film with a maniac who recorded gruesome murders of various American families. Favoring two-child households, this killer always spared one child who was never found. But the second half of the film turned into a supernatural spook show involving Bughuul, a demonic soul-sucker who loves the aesthetic of 8mm film and has, shall we say, a unique effect on the children it preys upon.
What made the first film divisive is that people generally preferred a section of the film, and most favored the murder mystery of the first half rather than the more supernatural aspect of the latter portion. But even though the first film doesn’t completely work overall, both sections of that film are handsomely made. The snuff films are still unnerving and shocking. The sound design is a vacuum of unsettling atmosphere. And perhaps more importantly, Bughuul is discovered by a cardigan-wearing, whiskey-tumbler-drinking true-crime novelist daddy (Ethan Hawke), Blow-Up style: by freezing on a sliver of a face in an image, and zooming in. Even when Sinister moves into supernatural horror Bughuul is mostly absent -- it’s his collection of Americana kids who are there to scare.
There are many lines in the film worth singling out in jest, but the absolute best is Deputy So-and-So yelling, “You’re not going to finish your movie!” Let’s hope that’s the truth and this is the end of Sinister. But if the sequel is even a mild success, Bughuul’s more modern manifestation -- as a shrieking computer virus -- might prove to be the ...
