Rating: 9/10 (17 October 2012)

When it comes to scary movies, the themes are usually divided into categories of kidnapping, serial-murders by obnoxious and cruel antagonist,and a series of accidental scenes. Surprisingly, "Sinister" has all of those and guides us into the epitome of the original horror film.
What I love about this movie is it is easy to grasp the story as it consists of a few characters and less intricate mystery to be solved. I often find myself not understanding the concept due to complexity of the origin of the cause in which a large number of people get involved in incoherent flashback that go back and forth.
The story starts with a reckless and fearless writer who is known for writing a suspense novel that cliché the title of New York times best-sellers move to the hunted house with his family in order to get references and ideas for his new novel.
Impressively, every character execute their roles, especially Ethan Hawke and Juliet Rylance, a married couple with two children, show natural and vivacious emotion with a clear tone.
The editing is neither overly done nor cluttered as I don't recall any disturbing moments. The intriguing part is how the director, Scott Derrickson tries to engage us using 8 mm film projector by showing how it can be used in both real and imaginative world. You will understand what I mean by watching the movie.
There are a lot of positive aspects that I want to mention, but I would rather not write them and let you experience the same feeling that arouses chunks of curiosity about the freaky and mysterious creature. You will not regret your decision for choosing to watch "Sinister" and be prepare to be petrified.
