Quick Hit

Sinister unfolds like a supernatural dread machine—creepy, 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.

There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.

This didn’t really land for me overall, but I can see why some people like it.

I actually agree with this take. It’s not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.

User8034Nov 15, 2024

Kinda mixed but I get the appeal.
