Review of Sinister (2012)

By Mark Ellis (362) for Schmoes Know (710) on 04 Oct 2012

It combines found footage with traditional moviemaking…

Review of Sinister (2012)

By Sarah Dobbs (23) for SFX Magazine (298) on 04 Oct 2012

Though the scares are undeniably effective, there's something forced about them. Each shock is delivered with almost mathematical precision…

Review of Sinister (2012)

By Derek Malcolm (772) for London Evening Standard (2,015) on 04 Oct 2012

When Christopher Young's score isn't buzzing like a demented bee, its loud bangs are the perfect wake-up call…

Review of Sinister (2012)

By Alex Zane (472) for The Sun (UK) (932) on 03 Oct 2012

This is a thrilling and disturbing ride that grabs you from the start and rarely lets up…

Review of Sinister (2012)

By Peter Bradshaw (3,667) for Guardian (4,584) on 03 Oct 2012

The snuff-porn aesthetic might suggest a realist drama, but a supernatural dimension is brought into play, making the plot directionless…

Review of Sinister (2012)

By Robbie Collin (1,612) for Daily Telegraph (UK) (2,495) on 03 Oct 2012

Sinister's central idea - that film can itself be evil - is not developed as cleverly as it was in Hideo Nakata's Ring films, but its images…

Review of Sinister (2012)

By Nigel Andrews (1,359) for Financial Times (1,822) on 03 Oct 2012

The ensuing plot has the cogency of one of those dishes you cook up, one inspiration-free night, from everything left over in the fridge…

Review of Sinister (2012)

By Henry Fitzherbert (699) for Daily Express (UK) (2,141) on 03 Oct 2012

Frankly, Ellison is an annoying prat and there aren't enough scares or story developments to keep you hooked, though the ending works well…

Review of Sinister (2012)

By Matthew Turner (2,508) for ViewLondon (2,339) on 02 Oct 2012

Some nice ideas and a superb central performance from Ethan Hawke, though the film is a little over-reliant on screechy soundtrack noises and…

Review of Sinister (2012)

By Rob Daniel (202) for Sky Cinema (1,726) on 02 Oct 2012

Cargill's script (inspired by a nightmare following a screening of Ring) puts more meat on its characters than standard haunted house fare…

Review of Sinister (2012)

By Trevor Johnston (624) for Time Out (7,510) on 01 Oct 2012

This so-so, occasionally effective horror film combines found-footage creepiness and haunted-house scares - but is stronger on mood than story…

Review of Sinister (2012)

By Garry Mcconnachie (90) for Daily Record (UK) (215) on 01 Oct 2012

While some of the story may be cliched, it never detracts from what is a genuinely scary horror film that will satisfy the appetites of fans…

Review of Sinister (2012)

By Rich Cline (3,056) for Shadows on the Wall (2,096) on 01 Oct 2012

This moody, nasty little ghost story is packed with chilling moments that are augmented by a particularly haunted performance from Hawke…

Review of Sinister (2012)

By James Mottram (656) for The List (2,018) on 30 Sep 2012

Perhaps it explains too much in what is a grisly finale, but this is both skilful and scary; as such, it's one of the best horrors you will…

Review of Sinister (2012)

By Kim Newman (791) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 30 Sep 2012

Derrickson bounces back from his insipid redo of The Day The Earth Stood Still with an effective chiller that's got a skeleton or two in its closet…

Review of Sinister (2012)

By Matt Glasby (349) for Total Film (3,532) on 27 Sep 2012

An enjoyable, if boilerplate, boo-flick that maintains an enviable rate of scares per minute by throwing everything – demons, ghosts, snakes,…

Review of Sinister (2012)

By Luke Y. Thompson (1,447) for Nerdist (550) on 22 Sep 2012

It's a massive testament to the skills of director Scott Derrickson that...he takes what sounds on paper like a three year-old's dumbest idea...and…

Review of Sinister (2012)

By Jordan Hoffman (1,025) for ScreenCrush (954) on 22 Sep 2012

Sinister' is, on one level, about as dumb as a bag of hair, but it absolutely takes much craft to keep material like this energized…

Review of Sinister (2012)

By Eric Kohn (1,203) for Indiewire (3,631) on 21 Sep 2012

The movie makes up for uneven dialogue and pacing issues through sheer horrific imagery…

Review of Sinister (2012)

By Anton Bitel (1,340) for Projected Figures (169) on 30 Aug 2012
