15 Great Horror Movies (Nobody Ever Talks About)
1. Sinister 2
Directed by Irish filmmaker Ciaran Foy, 2016’s Sinister 2 is a rare underrated sequel which manages to actually outstrip the more famous, but more uneven original.
The helmer nabbed the directorial duties for this one by impressing the original flick’s director Scott Derrickson with his sparse, poignant chiller Citadel, and Foy brings the same “characters first, scares second” sensibility to this engaging and surprisingly poignant instalment.
With a superior, twist-free ending and a well-handled plot which takes in difficult territory such as familial abuse, this one is elevated by superb central turns from IT’s James Ransome and A Knight’s Tale heroine Shannon Sossyamon.
