Pretty Good Recent Horror Movie, sinister it is

Rating: Null/10 (7 March 2013)

I didn't know much about the movie before I saw it. I didn't even see the trailer first. I was surprised in a good way by this movie. It was scary and of course sinister. Ethan Hawke is very good in this role, better than usual. The whole thing is slick, even if it does hit some of the standard horror clichés from time to time. The story is interesting. It follows a true-crime writer, played by Ethan Hawke, as he finds found footage of murders and gets deep into the sinister world, pulling in his family. It's actually more drama sometimes than horror. This movie is better than the The Exorcism of Emily Rose. I don't know if it's saying much, but it scared me more than any other movies I've seen recently like Cabin in the Woods or Stoker.
