Personally I just wouldn't have died, rip to the family but I'm built different

The lawnmower tape absolutely terrified me the first time I saw it

If the movie was set in New Jersey, the monster could have been called The Gabaghoul.

I saw Sinister in theaters. That jump scare in the attic startled me so much I pulled a muscle in my leg, and I had a limp for a week. True story.

RIP Deputy so and so. Some of my favorite roles were given life by this absolute legend

This is truly one of my faves bc the only dumb move was moving into a known murder house, but at the same time, IT MAKES SENSE. He’s a writer, and KNOWS it’s a murder house, not just “✨moving into our perfect lil forever home✨” and the fact that THEY MOVED OUT. How many times have we as the audience yelled at the screen “JUST LEAVE!!!” and yet, them LEAVING, making the BEST possible decision in that scenario, is what ultimately signed their fate. THAT is what makes Sinister such a top tier movie to me

Family BBQ and the Lawnmower tapes were scary but I was TERRIFIED of Pool Party. The image of being strapped to a chair, drowning in shallow water, inches away from safety really freaked me out, especially since you could see the family members struggling in the water.

Sinister really disturbed me. The thought of destroying a family in a very sick and horrific way… and destroying the innocence of children… that was truly evil.

Ethan Hawke was made for a good cardigan, he pulls it off so well!

"Sinister" truly has the most disturbing opening scene of any movie, including "Ghost Ship" which is epic. I agree about the unnecessary jump scare at the end - ruined the ending of a near perfect horror movie. I think a better ending would've just been the camera centering on the box of film while the sounds of a new family moving into the house are heard outside.

"Snakes don't have feet" is one of the greatest lines ever spoken in a horror film

I was pretty desensitised to horror when I first watched Sinister. I'll forever be grateful for its not-so-gentle reminder that horror can still be scary. Incredible movie.

I love Sinister. Absolutely terrifying film. I feel like it has been forgotten since the sequel was so badly received. Thank you for doing this. I agree that it is scarier than the insidious and conjuring films.

most effective birth control ad i’ve ever seen

damn man 😢 rip deputy so and so

I was on a rescue team a couple years after this came out, and made the terrible decision of watching this the day before I had to do a two day alone training where I had to camp in the wilderness without a tent and this movie freaked me out so bad I didn’t sleep for a second and was on my toes seeing things in the forest I was so deluded
I’ve never been more scared in my life I feel

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Sinister has the scariest most bone chilling score/soundtrack I’ve ever heard. You hear the music in this film and besides feeling like something is watching you, you think “holy shit, whoever made this is absolutely twisted.” It still brings tears of dread to my eyes when im brave enough to listen to it

I like it when he’s analyzing the film from the opening scene and he notices Bagul standing in the woods behind the family, then looks out the window and sees Bagul in the exact same spot in the backyard! Scared the sh!+ out of me!

My favorite part about Sinister was that it did a good job using all aspects of horror, with really good pacing. Good suspense almost always leading to great payoffs, only a few bad jumpscares which were very well placed, and it just felt like the movie overall was just spaced perfectly. Good casting as well. Just an all-around really solid movie.

The inharmonious and droning sound in the movie is a masterpiece. It’s not a Halloween theme or Exorcist, but yet, so very effective in telling how the character feels, disturbing, dreadful. It’s just a masterpiece altogether. SMILE 2 definitely took inspiration from this soundscape.
