Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: Sinister

Genre: Horror  Thriller , contain's extreme paranormal violence & extreme murder scene's through out.

Cert: 18 cert

Story: Sinister is a frightening new thriller from the producer of the Paranormal Activity films and the writer-director of The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Ethan Hawke plays a true crime novelist who discovers a box of mysterious, disturbing home movies that plunge his family into a nightmarish experience of supernatural horror.

Likes : Wow you want a film that really gets under your skin & chills every part of your body to the bone this film delivers all that,From the get go the mood of the film is set in such a disturbing way it draws you in to the film like your there with him when he discovers the home videos which seriously is disturbing.This is the first horror film since poltergeist that has really disturbed me in a way that has given mixed emotion of fear & being sick, for a horror film to make you feel that way is a master piece of horror filming.The whole concept of this film has a very dark closterfobic spine chill atmosphere to it that sends you down the dark path of evil demonic presence that's in the film's of the box he finds.Along with its jumpiness moment this film really dose make you jump out of you skin & try to hide behind something.Brilliant actor Ethan Hawke play the father Ellison Oswalt A crime novelist that move with his family to a house where a crime was committed because it ends up being a crime he didn't expect & he lends him down a dark path.Playing his wife Tracy played by Juliet Rylance i felt sorry for her because she love her husband but dosent like what he dose she unfortunately get caught up in the mess that is to come, play their son Trevor played by Michael Hall D'Addario his character seem to be a normal child but with a simple problem of sleep walking with night terrors.Playing their little girl Ashley played by Clare Foley a artistic little girl that likes to paint pictures which takes a sinister turn as things start to happen.Playing the sheriff that seems to hate ellison because of a book he wrote in the past made the police force look stupid played by Fred Dalton Thompson he seem to have this hostile feeling towards him because of it, playing the some what slightly dopey Deputy played by James Ransone who seen to help ellison find out whats going but finds something sinister behind the other murders. Playing the ghosts (cameo's) Stephanie played by Victoria Leigh, BBQ Boy played by Cameron Ocasio, Pool Party Boy played by Ethan Haberfield, Lawn Work Girl played by Danielle Kotch, Sleepy Time Boy played by Blake Mizrahi & Bughuul / Mr. Boogie the demonic presence played by Nicholas King who make-up & characteristics were serious creepy in the film that set a tone for the demon.This is what a supernatural horror should be like dark closterfobic spine chill atmosphere,creepy music, mixed with suspense to whats coming next.I loved this film.
Dislike: Only one thing the ending was a slightly a little lame but but forgivable since the rest of the film was put together well to creep you out.

Overal: If you looking for a film that scare the hell out you this is one to watch this film brings it all hat a horror film should be like.

Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 9 out of 10 for scary the hell out of you & horror theme to storyline
