Review of sinister
Positive
Heart stopping experience
watching sinister, the build up from normality to a disturbing fear filled
atmosphere
Expectations were high for the latest blockbuster horror 'sinister' as it
was produced by the same directors of award winning paranormal activity which
is renowned for its spine chilling, jaw clenching moments. To begin with, the
trailer gave a clear cut outline which created a disturbed and fearful
atmosphere which is a fantastic way to draw people in to watching the film.
The films itself, i loved the typical storyline of an American family moving
house however what my wow factor was the use of a symbol to create fear, the
predominant symbol had historical value which meant factual value which went it
was real. This crested the feel this entity was real which a lot of films fail
to capture. From the second the family entered the new house I was in fearful
watch although I could not miss a second of the film as I wanted to see 'what's
next'. Overall I was excited from the trailer up until now even after watching
the film, hoping to see a number 2!
Movie of the year, a must see 5*.
Negative
Worst movie of 2015! Expectations fell down the drain by the lack of the
fear factor throughout the whole film, wouldn’t suggest it at all!
The buildup for this movie was huge considering it was made by the same
blockbusters paranormal activity which gave me the impression that it would be
another spine chiller. Although I was surprised to say it wasn’t as good as it
was made out to be, the story was predictable from the outset, the jump scares
were poorly timed. This was a film which lacked the fear factor although
hopefully it is corrected by the next movie.
