Overall-Scariest Film I've Seen For A Long, Long time.

Rating: 9/10 (23 October 2013)

Sinister has a unique and different narrative, much different than the over-used cabin in the woods or fuelled on sexually active teens and pure gore, it consists of a writer, played by Ethan Hawke, he moved his family into a house in which the latest murder took place. He found a box of 'super 8' films and discovered the murders of what happened were all caught on these tapes. As the movie unfolds with somewhat of an enigma to whom or what it could be it grasps the audience in a way to keep them intrigued but to also keep them on the 'edge of their seat'. However it uses traditional key conventions to the horror genre and uses a much more 'calmer' approach and focuses much on the narrative of the film rather than how to scare the audience. It has gone back to the old originals, focusing on music and the build up of tension rather than gore, violence and deaths every 5 minutes.This film would be a key success in my opinion and has the a much better ability to make you jump rather than just make you stare and say 'eww'. This film was a disturbing, but not to the point in which you may wish to stop watching and death, though a key part, was not shown every two scenes. A definite recommendation for me.
