The Art of Simplicity.

Meh...

First of all, this "new" Megan Fox with surgeries looks disgustingly super weird. Especially the big lips; they're horrible to look at.
Why the freak does an SIM (or whatever Alice was) have SO BIG NAILS?
And... yeah, Megan Fox isn't actually known for her "acting skills," which is very OBVIOUS...

Very weirdly horror!

The 1st movie was from the perspective of the elder, and this one is from the perspective of the children.

The continuous tense, horror, & serious feeling of the 1st movie aren't exactly present here. The actress/actors were a bit too unserious/jolly/modernish compared to the 1st movie, which takes a lot of horror feel away from the movie.
I just don't think one of the best horror films, "Sinister (2012)," needed a sequel. This one just feels like a typical slasher movie (even though this is a continuation of the 1st movie, unlike most of the usual slasher movies).

And for the woke part: the married woman Courtney Collins kisses the ex-deputy while both were drunk. Maybe that's a Western/european thing, to kiss a married woman. I know Courtney's husband was very abusive, but at least get a divorce first before trying to settle with another man.

Keeps you stuck to your seat and in constant surveillance mode in case anything is going to show up in the background.


Liked the subtle "symbolism" 🎩 (if it was meant to be symbolism, of course) at the end.

Tom Cruise did better acting here than Brad pitt. Brad pitt's acting was so weird, especially since he looks so weird without any beard/moustache. Both look weird without beards/moustaches, but Brad looks much weirder.
Claudia & Louis's relationship is VERY WEIRD. She calls him "my beloved," "love," that sort of thing. They rarely called each other "father" (adoptive) or "daughter." One time she almost kissed him. Hollywood is very DISTURBING.
This movie was probably made for a female audience, because many things just feel so weird about this movie. Some gay-ish moments, without actually doing anything gay.
Well, it was written by a female.
