Scariest Movie of the Year (Don't Watch Trailers Though)

by

This movie is guaranteed to leave you shaking before it is even half way through. However, the best scares, as always, were put right in the trailers. It is best to go into this one blind.

ehhh

there were some creepy parts to the movie but the ending seemed so rushed and like such a D class film. I rated it so so because there where some scarier parts. I guess. but honestly I think paranormal activity is scarier.

Surprisingly Sinister

by citrouille

While Sinister doesn't do much in the innovation department and it's no Oscar hopeful, it certainly does its best to do what it's supposed to do: horrify. There are several typical scream-worthy moments which are mostly products of loud noises and the like, but it's the story and overarching mood of the film are inherently creepy and unsettling. The twists are pretty solid, as is Ethan Hawke's performance, and in true horror style, the score does a lot of the work to establish the sinisterness of the film. Personally, I see horror films to be scared and Sinister does this more effectively than anything of the same calibre that I've seen recently. It's not genre-defining, nor terrifying, but it didn't try too hard and it definitely had my skin crawling. If you're a fan of horror and looking for something satisfyingly scary and genuinely entertaining, I'd recommend Sinister.

Suspenseful and Creepy

by Mousedancing

This is a great horror movie that really builds up the suspense and gives you those jump-out-of-your-seat moments. Very creepy and jarring ending. We thoroughly enjoyed it. 'Old School' suspenseful horror at its best.

Spine Tingling!!!

by Kmdc93

If you can endure a slightly slow beginning you will not be disappointed. Sinister makes the hair on the back of your neck stand on end, and will make the bravest person watch through a peephole in their hand. MUST SEE!!!

Riddlingly Awesome!

by enigmatic_strangeway

OH MUH GAH! I love this movie!!! Saw it this afternoon! It's not like most movies today that rely on the gore factor. Just when it gets to a part where guts are expected to fly it cuts away leaving it all to the imagination of the viewer. Subtle things give the tendency to send the viewer on a wild goose chase when it comes to figuring out where the missing kids went and who killed the families. Plenty of things to make you jump and even a few places to give you a giggle. Eventually I figured it out, but can you?

Worth a night out

by MISCRO

Still had power out because of Sandy and thought it would be better to go out and see a movie in a warm, dark theater than stay in my cold dark house. Anyway in general thought it was a good movie. I'm a major horror movie fan and it definitely had a creepy vibe that I like. Didn't jump out of my seat, but may have gotten a higher pulse rate at times. Had some humor as well, even found myself laughing at times. Storyline was mostly really good. Writers had some good ideas. Certain parts seemed like they were following in the footsteps of "The Ring" which seems to still be popular to do now. Liked the gradual build up of the plot. Wasn't really thrilled with the ending, I think they chose the predictable route. I felt like at certain points there were subtle hints being left that would tell you which characters would be part of the ending, but I was wrong. Not planning on buying it when it comes out on DVD/Blue Ray, but was fun enough to see once, especially in the theaters.

Best scary in a while

by isiscat

This movie was one of the best scary movies I've seen in a while. It had plenty of jump out and scare you moments mixed in with general spooky, haunted scary parts. It was a lot of fun!

Sinister

by kittykatt13

A must see for fans who like to jump out of their seats. From the git go you are anticipating and then wanting more. Sat in my seat holding on for dear life because i kept jumping out of it. The end is a little predictable but over all a very good scary movie. Please do not take your little kids to this. I took my 16 year old and she slept with the light on.....

Creepy fun

by

It was slow to start, but picked up the 'creepy' factor as it moved along. There were a few 'jump' moments, but overall this flick was pretty 'by the book'. By this, I mean, the hum-drum formula was there. Ghosts, a goul, and murders.... Meh.

If you're on a date, it's going to be fun. Otherwise don't expect much. I just wish movie makers of this genre would get more original with their materials.

GREAT HORROR MOVIE

by crazy runner

I was skeptical to go see this movie. I am so glad I did. I am very hard to scare and ususally get bored and leave or fall asleep. This movie kept me interested from beginning to end.

Tense and Chilling

by FLASH1465

I give it a solid B+. Look this movie isn't totally without fault ( like how come no one wakes up during the racket of the dad fumbling/falling around the house EVERY nite?). And the ending was ok. However it will keep you tense the entire time ...no so much for blood and guts BUT PLENTY of suspense. I like horror films and was more than satisfied with the chills it gave me. As were the 2 women sitting in front of me judging by the way they were scrunched up in their seats for most of the movie.
