It was just okay.

Rating: 6/10 (24 October 2019)

Just finished Sinister a few minutes ago. It was decent as a horror film, but didn't really bring anything terribly new to the table. It has some jump scares, some earned and some cheap. It only sort of stuck the landing at the end. I ended up liking watching Ethan Hawke's performance the best out of all aspects of the movie, and the extended, one-take conversations and argument scenes with his wife were quite good. However, this felt like it would have been much better as a 30 short in a horror anthology rather than a full feature. There just wasn't enough story to cover the time they had, and therefore it felt slow (and not in a "slow burn" type of way but more of a "spinning their wheels" sort of way to fill time). But I'm glad the performances were good.
