Plot: (from imdb.com) A true-crime writer finds a
cache of 8mm home movies films that suggest the murder he is currently
researching is the work of a serial killer whose career dates back to the
1960s.
Review: Sinister is pretty decent horror movie. It’s
got some good scares, an interesting mystery and creates a sense of dread. The
problem is, I feel like I’ve seen this movie many times. It feels like
throughout the last decade there have been a lot of movies like this. Some were
better, some were much, much worse. But that is not a criticism of this movie.
Ethan Hawke does a great job as the lead. He’s a sympathetic character,
although he want him to talk to someone about what’s going on rather then
keeping it all to himself. Sinister is a quality movie but it’s familiarity
knocks it down a peg.
Score: 7/10
