Do not listen to the haters on this one!

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

To those who say this movie is not scary: something is wrong with you. You probably need help.

A proper blend of mood, lighting, music, story and character development. A good horror movie does not need blood and guts. Sinister was made to get a PG-13 rating but received the R rating on content alone. Ethan Hawke gives a good performance as the protagonist. Scott Derrickson gives good direction to the cast. The performances were believable, the music keeps your attention and the slow building plot unfolds in a logical manner with a surprise waiting at the end.

Not the best horror movie ever made, I'm not saying that. But I am saying this was a solid movie that shook me to the core. Beware! This one may stay with you.

Be Careful What You Ask For

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a film about madness. Evil. Which crept its way into the lives of a family. Into their minds. Their souls. Long before we meet them. Worse. A trusted family member paved the way for the corruption of innocence. For that possession.
Nietzsche wrote stare into the abyss, it stares back at you. Here we see that. Literally.
This film creeps up on you and never lets you go. From the beginning frames. With rare exception the film unfolds from Ellison Oswalt, the main character's point of view. What he sees or does. Or more to the point, what he doesn't see or do. What he should have recognized, should have done, etc.
Having Ethan Hawke as the main character was a great choice for one reason. For me he has a long history of playing deeply troubled characters who undergo some transformation. He excels at being malign, unsympathetic, destructive. Here Ellison Oswalt is not uncaring. He is deeply flawed. Multiple deep flaws. Starting with classic Greek myth hubris. To regain that last shot at fame and notoriety. Along with that comes blindness. A dismissal of anything that interferes. Reality can be denied only so long. So far. A blindness to what an already troubled daughter paints on walls. Unicorns in black storm clouds.
And that long-haired son who oozes screaming out of a cardboard box due to night terrors? Distortions of truth to his wife.
Then add obsessional curiosity. He HAS to look. The warnings are there. A classic three: scorpion, snake, black dog. The progressive worsening of his reactions, increased maladaptive coping.
We never see the Oswalt family before they are damaged. We see others, unaware, of their horrific fate, through a medium once benign, commonplace. Home movies. That hideous twist is the hallmark of great horror.
People are familiar with the phrase the eyes are the windows of the soul.
What enters those eyes have a consequence; to paraphrase - if what enters your eyes is evil, your whole body becomes darkness.
How this happens?
The clever mechanism is an invented Babylonian pagan diety Bughuul - "eater of children" who comes to possess the children - body and soul. Through being viewed by a child. An image made manifest. The literature of possession provides examples of how new abilities, unusual knowledge is gained by those affected. Add to that the influence of anger, resentment, bitterness at being uprooted from one's previous home. Fertile ground for evil to take root.
And that darkness in the soul is reflected in the literal darkness of the film itself - intended by the director. Only when other characters come in does that darkness dissipate - only for a time. Ellison lacks the tools to combat that inevitable darkness - that small flashlight? Emblematic of his inadequacy to fight or dispel externally what he has promoted internally.
The daughter's final ironic comment that she is going to make him famous again - give him what he so badly wanted - so perfect. Be careful what you ask for - the lesson of great horror.
The soundtrack is perfect for accentuating the terror felt by the characters - and by the viewer. In the commentary the director refers to European bands I never heard of - nor could I find any reference. Loud sudden noises, repetitive disturbing sounds - short techno synth loops to create and and accentuate the mood. Excellent.
It is not that the mechanisms and devices used are new that makes this film worthwhile. It is how and why they are used to create that overall effect.
Here I am left with that disquieting, disturbing, creepy residue afterward. On top of the horror and fright during.
A word about the supporting cast. None outshines or usurps the other. Perfect ensemble acting.
Great film entertainment.
I loved this film.

A truly Sinister movie

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2017

Verified Purchase

Boards of Canada is the soundtrack of this movie. If you've heard of them, you now have an idea of just how creepy this movie is. If you've never heard of BoC, I won't ruin the surprise. Few movies spook me. I am a horror movie freak. I love a movie that can give me the chills but there have been so few and far between lately. Then along comes this movie. Sinister. It gives a whole new, different perspective on 16mm films. Ethan Hawke plays a true-crime novelist on the fringe of becoming a has-been. He moves his entire family into a house where a dark and terrifying murder had taken place a few years prior. All that was left was a box of old movies and a 16mm projector. The rest is history. I love this movie. It's the kind of horror flick you can watch and get spooked. There are different kinds of horror films. Ones you can make fun of. Ones you can spoof. Terrible horror films that are more comedy than horror. And the truly spooky. This movie is hardcore #4 all the way. And worth every second.

I couldn't tell whether they forgot to pay their electric bill or were just trying conserve energy. I wanted to like this film but was unable to see most of it, how did the actors even know where their marks were? I swear every light that was lit only had a 12 watt bulb in it, who walks around their house in the dark ALL THE TIME? It didn't create atmosphere, it just made me wonder constantly why are all the lights out?

It's creepy and that's a good thing.

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2014

Verified Purchase

The title of this incredible horror flick lives up to its name and more. I've seen really good scary movies, and I've some really bad ones as well. Sometimes a scary movie lacks originality or doesn't do its job which is to SCARE YOU. "Sinister" is full of shocking surprises, and the twist at the end will leave you speechless. Ethan Hawke has always gotten a bad rap over the years when it comes to his acting ability. Hawke is a good actor. He has a nervous, jumpy energy that some people find frustrating. I think he's very convincing in this film. His character in "Sinister" is driven and obsessive. This film is definitely not intended for children. I'm in my early 30's and I was TERRIFIED of some of the scenes. The beginning scene was very unnerving. Not for the faint of heart. If you're looking for a modern horror flick that will make you think and rattle your bones a bit, then "Sinister" is the perfect film to watch on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Just make sure not to watch it before you go to sleep at night. It might give you nightmares. Just saying. I highly recommend it. Enjoy!

A Great Horror Movie for Anyone!

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2019

Verified Purchase

I gotta say, I’m a sucker for any horror movie. I’ve slowly lost interest in the typical slasher films and this movie isn’t one of those. It’s more of a psychological and paranormal horror movie. Ethan Hawk does a great job holding the movie together and the story is very interesting as well. The pacing is great and some scenes actually made me jump. Not to mention the amazing score! Young does a great job creating eerie music to this film. Together it’s a very enjoyable horror movie for people who love something different than slasher (though there is a little gore) or someone’s first horror movie!

Alle negativen Bewertungen zwischen einen und zwei Sternen sind berechtigt! Hier verspricht der Kaufende sich mehr unter dem Hauptdarsteller Ethan Hawke. Die Ernüchterung folgt schon nach ca. einer halben Stunde. Nach einer Stunde habe ich mich immer noch nicht gegruselt. Bis zum bitteren Ende durchgehalten um festzustellen.... Echt jetzt? Bestseller? Und jetzt mal ehrlich, Horror? Was für ein Schwachsinn! Softer Grusel einfach nur und das noch nicht mal gruselig. Alles schon mal da gewesen.. Wie auch immer! Im Leben würde ich nicht auf die Idee kommen in weitere Teile zu investieren. Fazit : Was für Schisser ohne Anspruch!

An sich nicht gerade viele,doch einige gute"Schockmomente"-waren schon dabei-aber es ist ja schließlich ein Horrorfilm-da sollte es schon die ein oder anderen genialer Schocker drunter sein aber der Brüller ist es nicht gerade,davon ich weitaus mehr erwartet!!! 🤔
Es zeigt sich aber auch bei den Horrorfilmen das praktisch alles schon mal dagewesen verfilmt wurde und dass sich vieles ähnelt-bis hin zu gecoverten Klassikern!
Einige wenige;-wirklich guter Horrorfilm sind heute sehr,sehr dünn Gesäät-& scheint auch filmisch;-das schwerste Genre unter den Filmen!!!? 🤔! 2☀️☀️

Reviewed in Italy on November 3, 2017

Derrickson si riconferma narratore di incubi coi fiocchi e il suo racconto e un viaggio tenebroso tra la paranoia e le paure ancestrali. Raccapriccianti filmini familiari all'odore acre dello snuff (il pianosequenza del tosaerba non solo fà distogliere dalla visione Hawke, ma lo stesso spettatore), una triade animale che e funesto presagio di morte (lo scorpione, il serpente, il rottweiler) e un finale agghiacciante e feroce, cattivissimo e poco accomodante, che si sposa con la favola nera e l'infanzia dannata. Poco incisivo il make up del Bagul (una via di mezzo tra Ozzy e il Brandon Lee del CORVO), ma e peccato veniale, per una pellicola (e il caso di dirlo) con momenti genuinamente terrificanti.

Molto buono il dvd edito dalla Koch Media

Ausgezeichneter Horrorfilm!

Reviewed in Germany on March 13, 2021

Ein Muss für alle Horrorfilmfans! SINISTER ist ein Film, der gemacht wurde, um Angst zu erzeugen - und dies gelingt bestens. In diesem Sinne ist es auch ein "reiner" Horrorfilm. Es gibt keine versteckte intellektuelle Botschaft, nein, der Film von Regisseur Scott Derrickson hat zum einzigen Ziel, dem Zuschauer den Schrecken seines Lebens zu verpassen :)

Ich kann den Film nur empfehlen!
