Sinister!

Rating: 6/10 (28 February 2014)

I'm new to watching horror movies and I thought I would give this a shot!
Well I am utterly creeped out.
The incorporation of mythology into the film helped steer it away from normal horror movie clichés.
I liked the fact that you had to wait until the very end to know what was actually going on .. I was not able to guess the plot half way through as in most horror movies.
The imagery used was scary and I jumped out of my seat a number of times. The music built suspense throughout. The ending has me so freaked out I am too scared to go upstairs to the bathroom!
But hey I am a wimp.
I did find the film a little long and was willing it to be over towards the end. I can imagine this would be very popular in a cinema setting as it had some very heart-stopping/jumpy moments.
I do not recommend watching alone, in a lonely house, at night, on your own. Did I mention I'm all alone?!?!
I gave it a 6, the story was clever, but for me personally I was a wreck throughout!
