	Media	Author	Review
		Kyle Anderson Entertainment Weekly	"[The] big problem with Sinister 2 (and with a lot of fright flicks produced by Blum House) is that the ending is fantastically unsatisfying (...) Are there scares? Sure. (...) But Sinister 2 doesn’t know what it wants to be, and doesn’t add up to much."
		Andy Webster The New York Times	"Despite Mr. Ransone's goofy charm, 'Sinister 2' can't claim the same finesse, substituting pedestrian plotting and a more graphic gore for the original's restraint."
		Kyle Smith New York Post	"A serviceable if somewhat redundant horror sequel (...) it’s somehow both too drawn-out and abrupt — but it’s got creepiness galore. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"
		Andrew Barker Variety	"A retread of such brainless, shameless lameness that it’s hard to imagine anyone begging for another installment."
		Dave White The Wrap	"Visual stakes are heightened here, to an absurd, laugh-inspiring degree, the deaths sliding into the realm of “Saw”-style ridiculousness."
		Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter	"Sinister for sure, although not particularly scary. (...) Sinister 2 comes up a bit short on creative resources, although director Ciaran Foy probably gets enough right to entice those partial to the original."
		Katherine Pushkar New York Daily News	"Say one thing for these killer kids: they’re creative."
