A very basic plot blurb and some images from Sinister 2 were published at Shock Till You Drop. You can see those images scattered about this post. They say the story is about what happens when "a protective mother (Shannyn Sossamon) and her 9-year-old twin sons (real-life twins Robert and Dartanian Sloan) find themselves in a rural house marked for death as the evil spirit of Buhguul continues to spread with frightening intensity." I think I can go better and provide a bit more context. The house is a rectory where something terrible happened years ago. The mother and kids are hiding out here after their own life took a turn for the terrible. One of the boys, Dylan, is the quieter type, and is often drowned out be the more gregarious twin, Zach. They each have encounters of the supernatural kind, but react to them very differently... One of the non-mystical villains of the piece is the boys' father, Clint, and we'll be seeing a good bit of him when the trailer drops, I think. And Buhguul's not the only supernatural presence; I don't want to give away too much, but I will say that many of the kids in these photos are ghosts, each dressed in a way that reflects the circumstances of their demise, so take a good look at the costumes...
