One of the silliest horror movies I've ever seen and I grew up on B rate horror movies!

Rating: 2/10 (5 August 2014)

This was one of the silliest horror movies I've ever seen, which says a lot, because I grew up watching nearly every B rate horror movie ever made. Even if I wanted to be extra lenient and look past such insane silliness and just take it for its entertainment value this movie is about as fun as AIDS. Sinister moves painfully slow, which I can handle in deeper build up type of horror movies, but this movie is the shallowest one dimensional horror movie ever made. The script is dreadful and so is this movie.
A horror movie will typically create a façade that it's jumping out to scare/attack its characters, in the midst of jumping out and scaring the audience. Sinister doesn't even want to create this façade; the boogie people in this are putting on a show for the audience, rather than the characters (Ethan Hawk). This caused me to laugh out loud on several occasions as a knee jerk reaction. The boogie children's sole purpose is to be creepy for the audience; they do things in the realm of, making rabbit ears behind Ethan Hawk, then darting out of the way before he notices then for whatever reason they move in slow motion, while motion remains constant for everything elsethey also will stand in the background and look creepy solely for the audience. This movie has no shame unlike anything I've ever seen before. The movie has little motive, little twist, little plot, no rationale, etc. Basically the boogie dude lives on the souls of children and makes them filmographies so they can film the murders, so Ethan Hawk can watch it for the sole purpose of showing the audience, because it's completely unnecessary to show each victim family the prior family murders before they are murdered. Imagine 100 years from now, just how much video the victim will have to watch, or maybe he'll have a best of version by then. The only so called twist or tie in is, the entity will follow you, so there is no escape. Is that really much of a twist when 75% of all ghost/demon/possession movies use the same ghost will follow you rules? It would be like a werewolf movie ending on the twist of a silver bullet doing it in.
Anyways, I'm shocked that this movie received mediocre reviews, because the script is a dreadful piece of crap, which made for a dreadful piece of crap movie.
