Film Review – Sinister

SINISTER Ethan Hawke

“Sinister” joins a growing trend of horror movies offering characters
who don’t react appropriately to unequivocal proof of their own future
doom, a bewildering screenwriting concept recently explored in the last
three “Paranormal Activity” pictures. Genre admirers generally don’t
seem to mind this gap in storytelling logic, but for those who like a
little more thought put into their fright films, “Sinister” is a
patience-tester with some genuinely interesting, atmospheric elements to
cushion its fall. However, passage to the solid stuff is blocked by
brazenly cheap scares, a hazy monster mythos, unreasonably idiotic
characters, and excessive length, making “Sinister” an absolute chore to
enjoy in full. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
