FILM 2222: SINISTER 2 (2015)

TRIVIA: The rural farmhouse and cornfield setting was chosen because Sinister 2 is an homage to Stephen King's "Children of the Corn".

The camera featured in Sinister 2 is a 16mm Bolex camera. These cameras are much more annoying to operate than a super 8. A 16mm camera was chosen over the super 8 from the first Sinister film, despite super 8 film being more recent than 16mm (16mm is 30 years older than super 8). 16mm film is cheaper and easier to find than super 8. Many film students and art students worldwide, especially in Canada and Europe, still use 16mm for projects, whereas super 8 film is wanted mostly by nostalgic film enthusiasts and people making music videos.
