sinister
A true-crime writer finds a cache of 8mm "snuff" films that suggest the murder he is currently researching is the work of a serial killer whose career dates back to the 1960s.
2012 hasn't been a good year for horror movies, and I wasn't expecting too much from Sinister. Surprisingly, Sinister is one of the best movies of the year and the scariest movie I've seen in ages. From the first few seconds of the movie, I realized I was in for something darker and more disturbing than I imagined. Ethan Hawke is great as Ellison Oswalt, a true-crime writer who moves into a house with his family where a brutal murder occured in the past where he finds a projector and a series of snuff films in the basement. I never really get scared in horror movies, but the scenes where Ethan Hawke is watching the movies with the families dying horrible deaths scared the f**king sh*t out of me. I found the ending disappointing, but if you love been scared, Sinister is an effective and genuinely terrifying horror flick.
