One of the best horrors in the past 30 years

Rating: 8/10 (12 October 2014)

That may sound like a big, big statement but everything Sinister achieves is based purely on atmosphere.
In recent years, I've loved Insidious, Sinister, Paranormal Activity and a handful of others and I think that they all achieve great things because of the unique atmospheres they create.
In Sinister, for the first 45 minutes you could almost be convinced you're watching a thriller/mystery, with the writer/main character setting out to find out what actually happened to the family that his investigations centre around.
However, the footage he finds (and watches many times), whilst very simple, creates such a chilling, uncomfortable aura around the house and the film that you'll be watching through your fingers without really knowing why.
I really can't recommend Sinister enough and I've watched it multiple times myself. Check it out, otherwise you're really missing out.
