Conclusion:
Sinister is disturbing and brutal film. Incorporates elements of thriller, horror, mystery and represents one of the rare creepy films which appeared recently. For that are most responsible director, well-designed main role and excellent music. Director Scott Derrickson has managed to create an extremely tense atmosphere that slowly escalates throughout the film. In addition, the important thing that distinguishes this psychological thriller from the others is the main role. The role of the artist who will do anything to elevate his career, which is in decline is so convincing that any omission in the scenario or in acting be forgotten if not and ignored from bigger part of the audience.
Along these two things a biggest positive impression leaves creepy background music that was put to the forefront in order to enhance the level of the atmosphere. Definitely not the same if you are watching this thriller with music and without it.
All actors are at good level, particularly Michael Hall D’Addario in the role of Trevor that had a few great scenes.
One note: do not look trailer because shown some of the most important scenes for watching this movie.
