Review of Sinister (2012) by Zachary M — 13 Jul 2016

This is the story of man's hubris. Yes much more so than being a straight up horror film, this film is much more about a man and his pride. A pride that like many before him, would prove to be his undoing. Really is honest real life family drama and emotion put at the for front of a horror movie. The story unplays as you might expect, but Ethan Hawke is more than able to carry it completely.

The one thing I will say, is that the film is a bit too dark. Not content or tone wise, literally. During many scenes of him being alone at night in the attic or on the hallway, it was hard to tell what was happening at times. Maybe it was the copy I had, but I feel like maybe that was the point? If so, maybe make it just light enough for us to see what's happening okay?
