One of the more authentically scary horror thrillers to haunt the screen in some time, a product of smart filmmaking, intriguing premise and a great lead performance from Ethan Hawke.

Hawke brings a gravitas to the role of parent and home protector that is of far greater interest than the film itself.

Even the daytime scenes are shrouded in such deep shadows, you're mainly left wondering why nobody ever just turns on the damn lights.

Highly effective, tense little fright rouser... If you're a horror fan, you won't be disappointed.

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 ...

In its own right, it's atmospheric, just not very memorable or scary.
October 13, 2012
More stupid than scary, Sinister can't even figure out who its real demon is.

C'mon, Ethan Hawke, you're better than this. Isn't there a "Before Sunset" sequel that needs your attention?

The hero of "Sinister" is almost unaccountably dumb. So, unfortunately, is the movie.
October 12, 2012
A mixed bag of old-school and contemporary horror tricks that occasionally raises a hair prickle of intrigue.

It comes together with a gruesome though excellent ending that some will find difficult to shake.
