Ellison Oswalt, a novelist writer about crimes decides to move out beside his wife Tracy and their two children, Ashley and Trevor. He's looking for write another best seller after 10 years. What Ellison doesn't tell his family is that they have moved out to the house where happened the murder that he came to write about. First night in that house, Ellison found box that contains some amateur family films, so he decided to watch it, looking for information. Those films show not only barbecues and happiness but also brutal murders of those families by an unknow killer. He also found a strange human form in every film. Thereafter strange events happen to Ellison and his family, especially to his children. Helped by a policeman, Ellison discovers terrifying information about that house, those families and those films that make him being increasingly scared. Ethan Hawke plays Ellison with a great performance, making the spectator feels all his fear and anxiety. With an increasing atmosphere of suspense, disturbing music and camera movements, Sinister keeps the viewer in tension throughout the ninety minutes that it lasts. In spite of its suspense, Sinister doesn't have the quality of another films from same gender. Terrifying scenes and real moments of fear are scarce. However, this one could be a good choice for lovers of thrillers and ghost stories. It doesn't disappoints.
