Clever film, although the ending was a tad predictable, and upsetting.

Rating: 7/10 (14 July 2019)

Sinister is an average horror film for the most part that isn't very scary. The jump scares are pretty poorly done, and at times it feels a bit silly and cliche. But, I am a fan of how dark the actual story is, and how a decent bit of the murders is actually shown in the rolls of film that are found by Ethan Hawke's character. Take out the silly jump scares and the demon children running around the house in the second half of the runtime, and it's a pretty solid horror movie. For me the ending was a tad predictable, and upsetting.
