This tepid sequel to 2012s creepy Sinister will bug you.

But not for the right spooky reasons.

In the case ofSinister 2,they make a run at do both.

drawings or through home movies was kind of confusing already but has now become even more knotty.

Similarly, the home videos get increasingly more sadistic while also simultaneously ending up more repetitive too.

With no mystery to speak of,Sinister 2turns into a game of cat and mouse.

The movie may not give you that nightmare experience, but it may lull you to sleep.

Sinister 2 is out in theaters Friday, Aug. 21.
