Sinister (2012)

Genre: Horror
Directed by: Scott Derrickson
Cast: Ethan Hawke, Juliet Rylance, James Ransone
Time: 109 minutes

 


Ellison Oswalt is a true crime writer that moves in a small Pennsylvania town with his wife and his two kids. He hopes to write a new book about the murder of a family in that town. Unbeknownst to everyone but Ellison, the murders happened behind their new house. The discovered of a series of Super 8 films and a projector in the attic soon put the whole family in grave supernatural danger.

Maybe I went in with the wrong expectations, but Sinister left me greatly disappointed. The story never really pulled me in and the acting felt uninspired. A few moments were truly shocking and shook me, giving me hope for something better, but things settled down pretty fast each time. In the end, I was just happy when the whole thing was over.
