Sinister - 7/10


I had really high hopes for this one, and I thought it was surprisingly good. I'm sure some people will disagree, but I thought it was actually scary. The jump scares are well done and the suspense is better than I thought it would be. Lots of build up and foreboding footage. In all honesty, it's pretty disturbing. I think the reason I thought it was so chilling was because it's a very good mix of true crime meets malevolent supernatural force. The story is pretty predictable, but pacing and acting are great, with just enough comic relief to keep it scary and in tone without overdoing it like Insidious did. Another thing I really enjoyed was the amount of scares. Not too few, not too many. Go see it.
