Scott Derrickson directed Sinister 2, again working with screenwriter C. Robert Cargill, who also wrote the first film. Released just three years after the original, Sinister 2 stars the same actor as the former deputy, now leading the fight to stop the evil spirit Bughuul.

Before the release of Black Phone 2, writer Cargill wondered if audiences would even want a sequel. He admitted he hadn’t heard anyone suggest it before, but expressed hope that people would enjoy it if they made one.
Sinister 2 is currently available for streaming on Netflix until Jan. 1.
