Sinister Review

Rating: 8/10 (7 July 2013)

I have to applaud this film for being a truly original, terrifying, and non-gory horror film. What I like most about it is its build-up and how it sustains suspense to the end instead of petering out like many horror films do. It is consistently scary and suspenseful right up to its shocking finale. It also works as a very surreal film, for not too many details are revealed about "Mr. Boogie", the menace of this film. It is this lack of awareness on our part which keeps us watching and keeps us interesting. My hat goes off to the screenwriter, who keeps things tense all the way through and you have to appreciate the creepy cinematography and use of score as well.
