Sinister

In theaters October 12, 2012

110 minutes

Sinister had all the makings of a really creepy movie.  Eerie music, sudden loud noises, quick flashes of something, ummm… sinister.
Sinister turned out to be a middle of the road horror movie but in this day and age that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.  Terrible horror films severely outweigh the solid ones lately.
My biggest complaint with this one is that there wasn’t much that was new and exciting going on.  It kind of reminded me of Insidious (which I really liked by the way).  Horror films are not expected to be Oscar worthy, it just needs to be interesting, and avoid being laughable for all the wrong reasons.  Using those parameters, Sinister delivered.  I can’t recommend rushing out to see this movie, but if you’re a fan of the genre, there are worse ways to spend two hours.
