As a horror buff few movies actually creep me out

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2014)

This is my first IMDb review, i know i'm not a great critic or anything but i felt like i had to come on here and give a review on Sinister. As a HUGE horror movie fan i try to watch pretty much every horror movie out there that might seem even a bit scary. I've gone through countless average-subpar movies as well as a few good ones. Somehow i managed to skip over sinister and never really thought twice thinking it was just another mediocre horror movie with terrible acting and a flaky story that relied heavily on jump scares. When i actually got around to watching sinister i was extremely impressed, and very scared. It is extremely rare these days for movies to be genuinely creepy. Jump scares are fun and all but rarely, RARELY am i genuinely creeped out by a movie. After watching sinister, i must say i was actually a little disturbed, which has only happened with a select few horror movies. Not to spoil anything but i swear if i ever see that sinister face IRL i will lose it. What really impressed me about sinister is that it wasn't really "weak" in any particular area. As horror movies go, i'd say it was one of the strongest well rounded titles i've ever seen. A solid thought-through story, good acting, good pace, and overall did a very good job of keeping your attention with very few lulls in the scarefest. All the "super 8" films probably had THE MOST disturbing audio and video i've ever seen. This movie was not made for the average viewer, not even for the average horror fan. One of if not the scariest movie ever, i hope to see more from this director.
