One of the more authentically scary horror thrillers to haunt the screen in some time, a product of smart filmmaking, intriguing premise and a great lead performance from Ethan Hawke.

It comes together with a gruesome though excellent ending that some will find difficult to shake.

The hero of "Sinister" is almost unaccountably dumb. So, unfortunately, is the movie.

Highly effective, tense little fright rouser... If you're a horror fan, you won't be disappointed.

Even the daytime scenes are shrouded in such deep shadows, you're mainly left wondering why nobody ever just turns on the damn lights.

A mixed bag of old-school and contemporary horror tricks that occasionally raises a hair prickle of intrigue.

Despite some effective bumps and frights, and at least one memorable jolt from a full-throated D'Addario, "Sinister" is mainly just a series of snuff-reels with sick-joke titles ...
