Twin Brothers Lured by Ghost Kids to Join Bughuul in "Sinister 2"
“Sinister 2” is the chilling sequel to the 2012
sleeper hit horror movie. In the aftermath of the shocking events in Sinister,
the evil spirit of Bughuul continues to spread with frightening intensity. The
new story is a scary, suspenseful race against time to save a family from
falling prey to the madness, movies, and murder conjured by Bughuul and his
foot soldiers, the ghost kids.
“In
this story, we get to experience through one of the twin boys, Dylan, what we
didn’t with Ellison’s daughter, Ashley, in the first film: the child getting
access to the kill films, with the ghost kids very much present. The scenario
is similar, but this time the viewer is witness to what’s unfolding. There are
once again five ghost kids in the story, but these are not the same ones from
the first movie, because they are connected to a different murder – and are
already in contact with Dylan early on,” writer Scott Derrickson says.
Two
of “Sinister 2’s” main cast are the Sloan siblings, Dartanian and Robert.
“They’re technically not twins,” comments Shannyn Sossamon who plays their
mother in the film; the two young actors playing identical twins are in fact
fraternal triplets. Robert and Dartanian have a sister, Anastasia, who visited
the set but does not appear in Sinister 2.
Dartanian
“Dart” Sloan, who can be distinguished from brother Robert through, among other
characteristics, lighter brown hair, reveals, “I was really excited to get the
chance to be in this film; I’d never done a horror movie before. But we do a
haunted house every year for Halloween; we like to scare people. I have not
seen Sinister, and I don’t think my mom will let us see Sinister 2 because it
is going to be even more gory and scarier!”
Robert
Sloan adds, “We were allowed to watch a trailer of the first movie, and that
was pretty freaky. We only just got to watch our first horror movie, The Sixth
Sense, to prepare for making Sinister 2. We were allowed to watch it because my
character, Dylan Collins, sees ghosts of children and paranormal things – a
little like the kid in that movie.
“Dart
and I read the Sinister 2 script. It wasn’t scary to read, but, when all the
blood and music and sound effects are added in, it’s going to be much more
intense. I do not think we will be seeing this movie once it’s finished,”
Robert shared.
Dartanian
reveals, “In Sinister 2, I play Zach Collins, the more competitive twin
brother. Zach always has to win at everything, even if it’s just a race to the
house. In real life, sure, we compete occasionally, but it’s not mean-spirited;
when we play hockey, Robert is a better defenseman.” Robert in turn says and
hints, “My character of Dylan is very shy. He’s the one who sees the ghost
kids; Zach says he sees them. The five
ghost kids made films of the killings they did, so when the Collins family
moves into the abandoned house, the ghost kids need to convince one of the two
brothers to do the same – or else Bughuul will be angry.”
Based
on true events, “Sinister 2” opens in cinemas on September 9 from Pioneer
Films.
