Plot from Wikipedia
Quote:

Sinister follows the character of Ellison (Ethan Hawke), a true-crime novelist that purchases a new home with the hopes of writing a successful book. After moving into his new home he discovers a box of old home movies that depict previous families that lived in the house as well as their murders. As Ellison looks further into the mystery behind the tapes, he discovers that the murders all have ties to a supernatural deity known only as "Bagul". Bagul exists in images of himself and runs the risk of making Ellison's family the latest casualty of the house.

Thanks, nifty promotion tool. Is this movie going to make it to the states before Halloween?

It comes out Oct. 5

It is solid and creepy, but not as scary as V/H/S

Really want to see V/H/S. I've read that a lot of people have already seen it, but for some reason it's not on NetFlix yet.
At the top of my queue though.

might have to watch that v.h.s,i know it wont be very scary though coz every time someone says a movie is the scariest or best movie ever they are setting themselves up for failure

I'm actually really looking forward to this one as well as V/H/S. I'm such a sucker for the "found footage" style. Not sure if I'll fork out the money to go to the theater (audiences are so incredibly rude nowadays that I can barely stand it), but I'll definitely check it out when it hits Netflix.

Hope that it winds up being one of the better ones.

Fabulous - Well I can't wait, then!

Posher778 09-27-2012 06:20 PM

I really can't wait for this movie. Not because I think it'll be the best thing ever, but because it looks fun as hell.

VincentBateman 09-28-2012 04:30 PM

It seems that the successful or mildly successful horror movie nowadays are ghosts or demonic entities. I guess what sells is what sells but where are the slasher impervious to pain men that ran rampant many years ago? Anywho, getting side tracked, I saw this movies trailer (sinister) months ago and I hope I can see it opening night.

Same here. This one looks like a pretty good theater movie.

MLauryl 09-29-2012 08:10 AM

I really want to see Sinister. I have to find a time when the kids are all in school though ha ha

ManicOne 10-04-2012 07:07 PM

"Tis high on my waiting list too! I like how Insidious had the old lady in the photographs getting steadily closer, and with this we have that theme taken to its conclusion.

A massive disagreement from me, although each to their own.

jack_wallen 10-11-2012 03:36 AM

looks quite good
 
This has to be better than the last horror film I saw at the cinema (The Possession). Everyone I know that managed to see a pre-release said it's one of the best in recent years.

Thank you in advance :D

I think Sinister is definitely worth checking out.

I guessed what was going to happen early on and I was right on how it would end so it wasn't any great mystery to me. I don't think it's anything you probably haven't seen before, but it does have some "generally creepy atmosphere" that I feel makes it worth seeing at least once.

Dead Silence 05-04-2013 05:05 AM

Yea i agree with not being scary, but i did enjoy watching it :p more mr boogie, maybe in a next film :D

Jesse K 05-10-2013 08:05 AM

Sinister was not bad, but it was pretty predictable and had many cliches in it. Not great but good. Scary? ..Maybe partly.

leezuki 05-15-2013 04:53 AM

so many people i know slated this movie, but i found it a great movie, espeacialy with alot of crap horror out there at the mo,this was quite fresh for a change.
