Not worth the time

Rating: 3/10 (21 March 2015)

You can read the other reviews for more of a synopsis, I'll leave that out, other than to say it's kind of a mix of a supernatural thriller and one of those "found footage" movies.
The jump scares didn't scare me much. The story was flat, and they didn't make me care about the characters. Like most supernatural horror movies, the supernatural premise was just dumb. Well, for example, I liked Occulus, whose premise was that this mirror was haunted by a spirit. OK, it was dumb, but other parts of the movie made it fun to watch. But with Sinister, the supernatural premise was also dumb, but there was nothing else cool about it to make it fun to watch.
So, this movie has a dumb premise AND it was no fun to watch. If you want to be horrified by awful "found footage" murder scenes you might like it.
I was just waiting and waiting for something interesting to happen, and it never did. Near the end I figured out the supernatural basis of everything, and it was a real letdown.
A lot of scenes make no sense, I'm sure someone else will lay them out, I can't do it since I didn't check the "spoilers" check box.
Overall I got to the end and felt like I just wasted my time...
