Sinister Review

Sinister is a supernatural horror with some shocking gory involved. I saw this film in the cinema and I hid under my jacket or hands for the most of it, this film really scared me as the mask in it just sticks with you in your mind haunting you. I don't want to do a film like this as its far too complicated as its about a guy who writes real life stories about real life murders, so he moves into a house where a family was murdered and their child was kidnapped only 9 months afterwards (mental) sooner or later you just know something creepy is going to happen and sure enough, it does, he goes into the loft and finds a box that the family must have left behind containing videos, very old ones. He starts watching all these videos and they are grim, i remember most of the names (scarred) the first one I think was called 'family hanging out' it shows a happy family running around on the grass playfully, it then cross cuts to another clip of the family hanging from the tree in their back garden, freaked out but intrigued he watches the rest, 'swimming pool time' was a happy video again with a family all running around by the pool, this video cuts again to the family being drowned in their own pool. He realises that 1 child from every family that's murdered just vanishes and no one can find them. He finds pictures drawn by the children and they are grisly pictures of them killing their families, one child called him 'Mr Boogie' and another called him 'Slender Man' both send chills down your spine. Basically the guy writing the story that has moved in has landed himself in the killers loop and therefore killing him and his family, I'm not going to say who the murderer is of the family in the end as its a major shock and you'll have to go watch it. This film however didn't have many clichés like the parents saying 'it's ok, if we go to sleep things will get better' this guy realised and jumped ship, so they moved back to their old house. This film does have a few jumpy moments but it is mostly grisly and eerie.
