Review: Un Nerving Deeply Disturbing Film Is Terrifying - A die hard horror fan my entire life I've come to understand that for film to genuinely frighten people is something easier said then done. Tired of the same formulas being re hashed over and over it was with some hesitation we streamed the aptly named "Sinister". This is one terrifying movie, a story well told and an instant classic. The cast is superb and performances are top notch all the way around. However, it's Ethan Hawke in perhaps his best performance since "Before the Devil Knows you're dead" who carries the film in a tour de force performance as unsolved murder case writer Ellison Oswalt who when asked early on in an interview if he would ever write for money exclaims "I would rather cut off my hands". We learn quickly that this isn't entirely true as he willingly puts his wife and two young children in harms way. Hawke's descent into some gray fog between terror and madness has a surgical precision to it -- and it's riveting to watch. "Sinister" doesn't waste time as Cinematographer Chris Norr creates an ominous and disturbing world of shadow and light, and the feeling of being watched is palatable. Director and Co Writer Scott Derrickson avoids the expected and cliche' like the plague. Coaxing genuine performances he understands that an audience has to connect with the actors on screen and we do and we do at an almost visceral level. This is smart, terrifying story telling. Aside from a bit of blood splatter there is no gore here and fans of splatter films are sure to be disappointed because "Sinister" does have one pre requisite - it requires you to think an demands you let go. The horror in terms of violent atrocities are suggestive and that too is smart. The greatest horror films that have stood the test of time knew this. They banked on it. The directors knew that nothing, absolutely nothing on the screen can compete with the imagination and that to try is to fail. Roger Ebert whom I have great admiration and respect for was disappointed that the demons identity is revealed so early in the film. But I disagree. In "Fallen" we know very early in the film the demon is Azazel, in "The Rite" we learn almost immediately Anthony Hopkins is possessed by a demon named Baal and of course the early introduction of the big cheese himself - Satan - makes an appearance early on in many films including such legendary classics as the Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby. "Sinister" is not so much a film of possession, it doesn't drag in the over played Church versus Demon formula that requires you to believe in God for any chance of absolution from the terror unfolding on the screen. It's a deliberate and welcome choice. Impressive cameos by both Fred Thompson as sheriff and an uncredited performance as a famous professor of the occult is wonderfully played by accomplished actor Vincent D'Onofrio. A Solid cast, un nerving and deeply disturbing "Sinister" is a haunting and impeccable made film. "Sinister" shows us that things really do go bump in the night and the dire consequences when we bump back. Review: Interesting, engaging, scary -- an excellent film! - Seriously one of the best horror films ever. And, I should say, I did not think that the first time I watched it! In fact, I was looking for films to watch in October, saw Sinister, and I was, like, "I think I saw that..." I recognized the synopsis only a little, decided to watch it, maybe again. As soon as the first image of the family with the tree came on, I knew I'd seen Sinister before. Apparently it had not made a huge impression on me. But this second time through -- WOW! I am seriously NOT into supernatural stuff, but this film really got to me. Sure, the dad made some stupid decisions, and that's the way of horror films, no? We call those decisions stupid from the comfort of our couches, but in reality, aren't those the kinds of decisions people under pressure make every day? Anyway, I don't want to put any spoilers into this review. Suffice to say that I found this film interesting, engaging, and I think the concept is genuinely scary. Also, btw, Sinister 2 is almost as good. Rent -- or buy, that's what I did -- both those films now! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Clare Foley, Ethan Hawke, Fred Thompson, James Ransone, Jason Blum, Juliet Rylance, Nicholas King, Scott Derrickson, Vincent D'Onofrio Contributor Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Clare Foley, Ethan Hawke, Fred Thompson, James Ransone, Jason Blum, Juliet Rylance, Nicholas King, Scott Derrickson, Vincent D'Onofrio See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 18,233 Reviews | | Format | AC-3, Closed-captioned, Color, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Genre | Horror | | Initial release date | 2012-10-12 | | Language | English, Spanish | ## Product Details - **Format:** AC-3, Closed-captioned, Color, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen - **Genre:** Horror - **Initial release date:** 2012-10-12 - **Language:** English, Spanish ## Images ![Sinister - DVD, Digital Copy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71M5GOuihrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Un Nerving Deeply Disturbing Film Is Terrifying *by P***K on February 25, 2013* A die hard horror fan my entire life I've come to understand that for film to genuinely frighten people is something easier said then done.
