Review For Sinister
More stupid than scary, Sinister can't even figure out who its real demon is. Peter Howell-Toronto Star A mixed bag of old-school and contemporary horror tricks that occasionally raises a hair prickle of intrigue. Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail Despite some effective bumps and frights, and at least one memorable jolt from a full-throated D'Addario, "Sinister" is mainly just a series of snuff-reels with sick-joke titles ... Rafer Guzman-Newsday C'mon, Ethan Hawke, you're better than this. Isn't there a "Before Sunset" sequel that needs your attention? Sara Stewart-New York Post The hero of "Sinister" is almost unaccountably dumb. So, unfortunately, is the movie. Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post As the best horror stories so often do, "Sinister" makes clear that we are our own boogeymen, the worst monsters of all. Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times Is it scary? Creepy is more like it. "Sinister" makes you feel uneasy, lulls you into sleepy mode and then slaps you with a couple of cheap scares. Paul Chambers-Movie Chambers Hawke is utterly convincing as the driven but dodgy writer and Derrickson has great fun infecting the quivering audience with his hero's creeping paranoia. Andy Lea-Daily Star Ethan Hawke creates a believable character who wants to write a best seller, but that is the only thing in this movie that rings true or logical. Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com has the all too rare virtue of being a horror film with a fine gloss of originality and genuine surprise to it Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews Scary but contrived... . Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews Falls short of great horror Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit Derrickson is a sharp stylist who knows how to meld dreadful imagery with actual ideas that make his horror films more than just exercises in goose-the-audience manipulation James Kendrick-Q Network Film Desk Writer/director Scott Derrickson has a touch for using old horror movie tools to create new scares, and he also incorporates several interesting themes into Sinister. Jeffrey M. Anderson-Common Sense Media A most delicious kind of horror movie... gives us a nice adrenaline boost and otherwise doesn't linger. Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy Writer-director Scott Derrickson does absolutely nothing right. Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review Sinister isn't perfect, but it easily tops most of its scare-starved competition. Alexandra Cavallo-Boston Phoenix If we define ["sinister"] as meaning, "ominous, forbidding, portending of doom," the film starts well enough, with suggestions of dark and sinister events to come; but soon other words creep into mind: stolid, sluggish, tedious. Steve Biodrowski-Cinefantastique I'm uh-scared, I'm uh-scared!" Bob Grimm-Tucson Weekly The most enthusiastic thing I can say about it is that I've sat through worse -- much worse -- and I'll probably sit through worse again in about a week. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Indebted to some welcome influences, including King ('The Shining') and Antonioni ('Blowup'). John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) We begin with old Super 8 footage of a family hanging from a tree which is either a terrible tragedy or a natural outcome of the average Disney vacation. Mark Ramsey-MovieJuice! I never look at Rotten Tomatoes until after I publish my review. My reviews agree with the Tomatometer 77% of the time. While "Sinister" is fresh here based on 100+ reviews, it's only barely so at 63%. That's wrong. This is the best horror film of 2012. Adam Fendelman-HollywoodChicago.com It's an ominous beginning to a fright-filled fortnight. Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate Sinister is not only director Scott Derrickson's most fully realized vision but also his most personal film. And as haunted houses go, this one is beautifully noisy.
