Everybody seems to love this movie, but I find it to be one of the weakest, most overrated horror films of the past decade. The scares are really unoriginal and reliant on jumps, which is usually a big fat no for me. It tries to do some psychological things with the children, and every time we might be getting something actually scary, Bagul the Boogeyman has to remind us that we're supposed to be scared with a loud banging noise. Ethan Hawke brings a really overacted performance to the table, I swear every time he gets scared in this movie it looks he's about to literally jump out of his skin no matter the situation. Mostly though, Sinister has a boring plot, and I've seen it a million times before; Sinister is at its core an excuse to continue the boring jumpscare horror movie trend.
