Sinister is a horror film which follows Ellison, played by Ethan Hawke, who writes true crime novels as a living. When Ellison moves his wife and two kids to a new home for work, he’s met with a completely different type of crime.

In Ellison’s new home, he finds a single old box in the attic with home movies of the family before him in it. When he watches these films, he finds the murders of many families. Trying to catch the killer, he gets the help of a local police officer. By watching films, receiving information from his partner, and putting together loose pieces, he finds that the murders aren’t what they seem.

Sinister was a very good horror film, with lots of scenes that crept up on you and had you cowering in your seat. The film stayed with you after you left the theater and had you thinking about it that night.
