A total waste of time

Rating: 1/10 (26 November 2012)

In the 1st 5 mins of Sinister you will know who the killer is. The next 105 mins you will spend killing time until the movie reaches it's obvious conclusion.
Despite the acting being above average, the needless over acting is irritating to say the least. Hawke desperately overplays his part with embarrassing outbursts of poorly timed, needless, intensity that detract away from his role. The kids used in this are simply horrible and should never work again.
There is nothing in this film you have not seen done 10 times better before. It tries very hard to cram as many phobias as possible into it's dismal 110 min run, failing on every level. if you want to see the shining, children of the corn, killer clowns from out of space, rec, etc, go and see them...they are all better films
