Do you need to see the first Sinister film to understand the second one? No, but the first one does explain who Ellison Oswalt is in more detail and what led up to the second film.
The first SINISTER was a fairly scary & very atmospheric Horror film but this sequel definitely wasn't scary in the slightest because it felt like a Children of the Corn flick & a family drama mixed together.
SINISTER 2 is a standalone horror movie sequel. The story opens with the deputy from the previous movie, a friend of the father killed in the first movie, trying to discover where a demonic spirit will strike next. He thinks it may be an abandoned church where other murders occurred.
Main problem with Sinister 2 was that story didn't have that suspense which made original different. Story was very simple. Also, the actors could have perform better. Director tried his best to setup the chilling tone but failed miserably.
But does that mean the Sinister series is dead-dead? Yeah, it looks like it. Today we have word via Blumhouse head honcho himself Jason Blum that it doesn't look like there will ever be a Sinister 3... but there might be a TV series in the works.

Sinister 2 isn't as bad as some make it out to be. It's not a good movie either. Like most sequels, it struggles with the novelty gone and never manages to succeed in new ways or areas. It is a mediocre and forgettable film, just as the name of it's main character.
There's a strong, unsettling atmosphere that underlies through the whole film. The demon man is also quite frightening and not too much is explained about him which certainly adds to scare factor.
"Sinister" is bloody terrifying. So if your looking for one of those sorts off genuinely scary movies (which don't come along that often) look no further.

The original Sinister was a passable chiller, but the sequel feels more like a vague attempt to continue a lucrative franchise than to create anything truly compelling or spooky. The first film had Ethan Hawke in an interesting role as a struggling writer; the sequel has only Ransone as a likably flawed hero.
There is still a chance for Sinister 3 to be developed, though it doesn't seem likely. A potential sequel was considered, which would have been a crossover between Insidious and Sinister — something that would have changed Insidious: The Red Door considerably.
