Review of Sinister (2012) by Amber K — 24 Jun 2016
While it easily could fall into the trap of the expected and the cliche Sinister balances on the fine line and manages to keep itself afloat. Occasionally the scares fall flat and I was oddly uninspired by a lot of the "scare" make-up but the plot holds up enough to keep the viewer interested despite it's mistakes.
The ending was a let-down and easily predicted, but well executed enough to dismiss it as what they "had to do" as opposed to what they may have wanted to do. I feel as if horror always has these films that hold promise to flip the genre on it's axis but ultimately falls flat.
Sinister was scary enough, and I gave it as many stars as I did because it deserved them in it's attempt to try.
