A Horror Film with a KICK!

by

Scary movies are generally predictable and most certainly not scary. This one is the first one (in a long time) that had me jumping all over the place. The content is quite twisted and the thrilling/jumping/scary parts are legit. I did not care for the ending, but it was not enough to take away from my overall enjoyment of the film. Its a must see for anyone who likes horror films, and definitely see it in the theater to get all of the effects!

Singularly Evil (Don't Listen To The Naysayers!)

by redhairedchick84

If you liked the Paranormal Activities and Insidious (scariest movie I have ever seen, hands

down), you will love Sinister. Mixing myth with what-could-really-happen, Sinister puts you on

the edge of your seat from the opening seen till the roll of the credits. I don't want to spoil any

of the twists! Just go see it!

[Oh, and one more thing! If you do "terrifying" but you don't take "blood & guts" so well, no

worries, mate. Although some scenes will make you want to avert your eyes,

there's never a need to. ;) )

Shaking in places never shaken before

by jprufrock72

Two friends and I (all three horror movie mavens) went to Sinister last night. We have seen so many horror movies that we thought nothing of going to see another except for pure enjoyment. We had no idea what we were in for. What we got was probably one of the most DISTURBING movie experiences of our lives. Usually, after a movie we will sit and chat about the movie - the good, the bad, the scary, the things that could have been done better. Not last night. Instead, we walked to the parking garage and stared at each other and the only word that came out was, "Disturbing." Then we said goodbye and walked away silently. I have never been so rattled after a horror movie that I actually check my surroundings or my car, but last night I was doing it non stop all the way home.

This was what a horror movie should be on all levels. If you like horror, go see this. You may never want to see another horror movie again though.

An actually scary horror movie .... for once

by bonniebirdsong

Ok, it was super predictable at the end, but overall, it is a really scary movie. I LOVE horror movies but they are usually a waste of money to see in the theater, but this one is good. I actually screamed. LOL. Loudly. Only once, but it was worth the 12 bucks. I am not into slasher flicks and lean more toward the supernatural original Exorcist films all all things scary-kid. If that's what you're into also ... go see this one. It is a little bloody in parts, but does a good job of leaving some things up to your imagination and allows for suspense. Good job, Ethan. I told my ten year old he was not allowed to watch this movie, even when he is 100.

Sinister

by scarbrough67

This movie is absolutely crazy. The writers and directors constantly find different ways to push the envelope in every scene. This movie contains extremely disturbing scenes even to a scary movie buff such as I. I recommend seeing this movie but if you were to bring anyone they must not either get scared easily, or be squeamish. The idea is a completely new original idea, so it keeps you interested. The only downfall is the ending. Its like the movie was going so great and then they had to end it the quickest way possible. Go see it!

Scary, unpredictable, different

by mrsteveee

This is a good movie if you like scary thrillers. Fortunately, the director tastefully kept the gore to a minimum, which enhanced the movie. Good performances all around.

Sinister

by salako

Movie had a perfect balance beween horror and storyline.Absent from most recent horror movies.Usually 95% would be spent on Gore and 5% story building.

Best creepy in years out of Hollywood

by WonkaRN

Quite honestly, I can't think of a single creeper in years that was this decent.

I haven't heard girls get freaked out like this in years. This is a worthy movie.

Only thing I was getting concerned about when I saw how it would end is that it would end too abruptly and not explain something, but I was wrong and it had acceptable ending that resolved my big question.

I challenge these people writing bad reviews to name one thing in years in this genre that has been anywhere even close to how good this was. Name something, you can't.

what a waste

by

well what can i say without spoiling, might better wait until this movie hits the dollar theater. although there was some good laughs, nothing really happened, just a guy watching home movies, but if that scares you, then by all means, go see it

This was scary!

by pedsarq

I enjoy a good horror flick as much as the next guy, but I also appreciate the occasional breaks throughout the film to recover from all the loud noises and sudden scares. This movie doesn't let up! It preys on your fear for the safety of children from start to finish. There's even good dialogue, or at least well suited for the scenes, and it moves quickly between each one. If you're a horror fan, see this film. It's a cut-above the early January type horror garbage and it'll scare you.
