Sinister (2012)

Sinister

• Genuinely one of the best and most disturbing movies I’ve seen, I can really see why people love it so much. From the opening shot to the ending, this is one of those movies that doesn’t need to rely on jump scares to be terrifying. Although there are some really good jump scares, the movie is so much deeper than just trying to scare you. The entire premise of the movie really gets inside your head, and quite honestly, it puts some images in your mind that are hard to get out. Ethan Hawke also really made this movie as good as it is, and he did such a great job. There was also a really different feel with this movie that I can’t explain. It gave off really bad vibes, and in a way, I could actually feel the bad energy that it gave off. Most of the film is really dark (both in terms of story as well as lighting), and I would HIGHLY recommend watching this one with no lights. Anyways, it actually came to the point where I had to turn my lamp on because of how awful it made me feel. Although I wasn’t super frightened or anything, it made me feel extremely uneasy, and although it was really good, I don’t think I could watch it again. Plus, the music was extremely good, and I couldn’t even sit through the end credits because of how unsettling the music was. Overall, it was extremely well made, and I highly recommend it to all horror fans. This film is officially Berry Approved, so go watch it now!
