I went to watch Sinister with high expectations and to be left a shivering mess. I thought it would be one of those films where I was squeezing the arms of my seat, squinting, trying to keep my head pointed at the screen.
As it turned out I ended up laughing at most of the "fright moments". The scares were predictable, the plot after 20 minutes was obvious. The film takes every scary, supernatural, horror cliché and crams them into just under 2 hours.
The acting isn't bad, but it's not brilliant either. The film relies too heavily on the names of the cast and the marketing strategy of "From the makers of Insidious and Paranormal Activity" than any real plot substance. There is nothing new in this film, if you have saw more than a couple of horrors over the last few years – then you will find it hard to leave fulfilled.
