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. Jeffrey Overstreet-Looking Closer
