Sinister (2012)
Directed by Scott Derrickson
Quick Hit
Sinister unfolds like a supernatural dread machineācreepy, dark, and never wastes a scare.
Full Take
Sinister leans hard into supernatural horror energy, and Scott Derrickson keeps the tone creepy without letting the movie drift. The best parts are the confidence and control: it takes its time, sets the trap, then slams the door. It may not be for everybody, but it definitely has teeth.

Thereās a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
This didnāt really land for me overall, but I can see why some people like it.

I actually agree with this take. Itās not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.
Kinda mixed but I get the appeal.

Not bad, not great. Just okay.
