Buhguul and his children of sorrow are bringing more death to the San Diego Comic-Con.

This morning the first red band trailer hit, delivering more blood, guts and ritualistic executions. I love that it takes some time to explain the mythology, while also sharing some seriously disturbing imagery. I hope they saved some for later!

Written by Scott Derrickson (director of the first Sinister) and C. Robert Cargill, the sequel to Derrickson’s 2012 chiller stars Shannyn Sossamon, James Ransone, Robert and Dartanian Sloan.

Directed by Citadel‘s Ciarán Foy, Sinister 2 opens nationwide from Gramercy Pictures on August 21st, 2015.

“The sequel to the 2012 sleeper hit horror movie. In the aftermath of the shocking events in “Sinister,” a protective mother (Shannyn Sossamon of “Wayward Pines”) and her 9-year-old twin sons (real-life brothers Robert and Dartanian Sloan) find themselves in a rural house marked for death as the evil spirit of Bughuul continues to spread with frightening intensity.”
