‘Once in a generation' horror movie could finally get another sequel
A 'once in a generation' horror movie could be getting an even scarier sequel, and we're not sure we're ready for it. Sinister first hit the big screen in 2012, starring Ethan Hawke as desperate true crime writer Ellison Oswald, who finds a snuff film showing the deaths of a family and attempts to solve the mystery. However, things take a supernatural turn when the author moves his own family into the house and he's soon fighting to save his loved ones from danger. Scott Derrickson's flick was praised by many at the time but the 2015 follow-up, titled Sinister 2, didn't get the same rave reviews. In a new interview with Joe to promote his upcoming horror, Black Phone 2, the filmmaker touched on whether he'd spoken to producer Jason Blum about resurrecting the franchise. 'Yeah, we've actually been speaking about it,' he said. 'I think that we really dropped the ball on Sinister 2. I take responsibility for that. 'I think that there were some problems with that screenplay that we wrote. It didn't have the mystery or the intensity of the first movie. 'But we're hoping to make a Sinister 3 eventually and revive that franchise. I would love to see that happen.' Considering the first movie was found to be the scariest film according to science, another instalment could be just what we need. Sinister, also starring Juliet Rylance, Clare Foley and Fred Thompson, was a box office success in the early 2010s, grossing more than $87million worldwide. It currently commands a 64% Rotten Tomatoes score from critics, compared to a slightly lower 62% from fans. Despite the score, many users raved about the supernatural scare-fest on the platform, branding it a 'cheek-clenching' watch. Alexander T praised: 'By far, the most terrifying movie I've ever seen, and I've seen so many that I can't remember most of them.' Tadhg D agreed: 'A horror movie that served its proper purpose: I was scared after it with my heart beating. The atmosphere was on point along with the characters being interesting. 'It is my personal favourite horror movie and from the first scene both intrigues and sets a perfect atmosphere for a movie. Perfect 10/10.' 'One of the greatest horror movies ever made,' an anonymous user said. BigD J posted: 'Sinister is one of those once in a generation films. Brilliantly conducted. Cinematography, soundtrack, creep factor, jump scares, lighting was on point. More Trending 'Not sure why critics gave it such bad reviews or what the hell they're looking for in horror, but this gem had it all. 'Worth a watch, but I'd recommend a very dark, quiet environment, as there's a lot of silent, low tone parts.' As Evan A added: 'Started watching this at 12 in the morning, and I must say cheeks were clenched. This masterpiece of a film perfectly encapsulates both aspects of horror, eeriness and a jump-out-of-your-seat thrill. 'It's the anticipation and build up of the fire you watched start, yet can't look away from, and when it finally climaxes you're still shocked to your core. If I could give this more than 5 stars I absolutely would. In my top 3 Horror movies for sure.' Got a story?
