Review of Sinister (2012) by John D — 29 Oct 2013
Good solid horror movie (Psychological kind, not gory kind) with a few good scares. If story draws you in, and it did for me, with Ethan Hawke providing a good proxy for our found footage portion of this movie.
He's really the only character of note to develop in this story, carrying about 90% of the films character story. Everyone else is sort of tangental, or there to just pop out of boxes inexplicably in the night.
Still, clever baddie in this one; A scary pagan image diety that eats children. With a little more effort and creativity this could have been a 4 star horror flick. As it stands a good fun scare with lots of cool concepts muddled with some misfires.
