[@JAWS_2K]

So fun fact, my experience with this movie started out at around 3 AM. I was living alone at the time, doing the whole insomnia thing where you can’t sleep at all the matter how hard you try, so I figured I’d throw this on and just kind of halfway pay attention like you do with most horror movies. That being said, that was definitely a massive mistake. The lawnmower jump scare scene got me so bad that I actually ended up falling off of my own couch. This movie is seriously underappreciated, Ethan Hawke was fantastic in this, the sound, the design of the jump scares, honestly the only place this movie seems to really fumble the bag is the end, it’s a little bit ham-fisted. But even then, this movie is literally one of my favorites, and I will always go back to re-watch this, glad you got to be traumatized by this as well.

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

She said she's gotten more requests for this than any other film...how does that translate to it being underappreciated? This is a very well-known movie, supposedly polled at the top of scariest films of all time.

Why do i feel like almost everyone had the same experience with this movie. I was watching it with my family when i was younger and fell asleep.

personally this is still the scariest horror film i’ve watched. it’s great ‘cause like you’ve mentioned, some of those tapes were filmed in places we might’ve been to a lot growing up or something familiar to us, so the deja vu just really adds up to the creep factor of the movie

[@ethantinsley8185]

It’s interesting that you experienced Dejavu during this and I don’t think you’re alone on that. I also remember experiencing something similar when I first watched it, which might have been an intentional component to the film to induce feelings of nostalgia. This kind of nostalgic or familiar abstract feeling can add an element to horror that can be very frightening. The subgenre Analog Horror uses this a lot and I would argue that these film scenes are a form of Analog Horror itself, or rather Analog Horror inside of a psychological horror movie.

[@jc5144]

The overall sequence of events is pretty clever, but it is the sound design, and music that takes this from a 'ghost movie' to one of the better horror films ever made.

[@jackmarsden7842]

Prior to the release of Insidious: The Last Key, Jason Blum stated that a crossover film between Sinister and the Insidious series had previously been in development, tentatively entitled Insinister, and that he personally believed it had potential for re-entering it, stating that "we're going to cross our worlds at some point"

[@LuisOrtiz-xo5kc]

I saw this movie at the theater with my ex-girlfriend, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that we both left shaking. And this is coming from a person who had seen many horror movies. It is easily one of the best films that have been made in recent years. From this same director I suggest you to watch his recent film "Black Phone". It's not as creepy as "Sinister" tho.

[@jessielallier9483]

lmfao "Haven't seen THAT in Criminal Minds". Omg I'm cracking up.

[@LuckyNemo03]

The best part about horror movies is anyone can die and they can logically make sequels. Literally the people or the demon can die and the story can go on fluidly. This movie in particular horrifies me more than any other though. Ethan Hawke has balls of steel for accepting this role haha

[@SlobberDabber]

I'm so glad you watched this!! Ethan Hawke is one of my favorite actors . The highlight of this movie is definitely the sound design... I would highly recommend the film "The black phone", it's directed by the same dude who made this film Scott Derrickson and is one of the best horror movies I have seen in recent times!!!

IMHO Sinister is one of the greatest horror movies of recent times. It goes with the old saying of less is more. You never really see Bogul unless it's in the videos and it's brief.

I can definitely say your Channel has quickly become one of my favorites recently. The style of editing, your personality and the pretty decent length of the videos so far has been really nice. As for this one in particular i never appreciated that much when i first saw it but as i got older man it quickly became one of my favorites. Weirdly my favorite part was probably the moment when Ellison finds out the St. Louis and Sacramento murders are connected by the houses they lived in. Just Ethan Hawkes performance and seeing Bughuul moving on the screen omg! And don’t get me started on the sound design in this movie, holy shit. As for sinister 2, its no where near as scary as this, but it’s still pretty entertaining to watch. Plus you do get to see deputy so & so more.

One thing that I love about the lawn mower jumpscare is that it's not on a beat. Usually with jumpscares, there's a 1-2-3, so you can almost always brace yourself for when it happens, like choreography or something. But with this particular jumpscare, there's not rhythm to it, so when I watch it, sometimes it seems like it happens faster than I expect and sometimes if seems like it happens later than I expect. The brilliance of that is that it almost always catches me off guard. I don't know if the filmmakers were thinking like that, but all i know is I can usually see jumpscares from 10 miles away and no matter how many times I watch this movie, I never see the lawn mower coming.

For starters, if you like found footage type of horror, I REALLY RECOMMENDED "Gongjiam: A Haunted Asylum". It's a korean movie that I really liked. The reason why I suggested this because not a lot of horror channels (based from what I've noticed) don't do a lot of movies outside of america. I get that people find it bothersome to read subtitles but there are really good movies outside of america and I hope people would become more open to trying them ✨

The sequel stars Deputy So&So! It's actually just as good, but because it didn't have any big names in it like Ethan Hawke or a big release, no one took it seriously at the time. But movie wise, it's just as good and follows up on the storyline here.

[@Marvelfan-nu7ve]

For me, the second sinister completely missed the point of what made the first one so scary. They go into too much details of the lore, they show way too much of balgul making both him and the lore less scary. And while the tapes are more gory. They are overproduced as well. They are overexposed where you can practically see everything in the tapes compare to the very limited lighting and actually nighttime shooting in the original tapes. And the kills just feel so much more goofier than in the first one where they feel like they’re from Friday the 13th and not like something I accidentally stumbled across the internet. But that great that you at least enjoy. Just feel like the second one ruined what made the first one so special.

Fun fact, the dad from this movie also plays the killer in black phone

[@RandomOne1999]

There’s a theory that baghuul is actually helping the kids get out of abusive families and taking them to his realm to be happy forever (albeit very violently so he can feed off the sacrifices) because the kids in part 2 don’t seem scared but legitimately happy and the ones to commit the killings are always isolated and left out

[@newhappythoughts1628]

That’s the only good thing about the sequel. It gives us better insight into why the kids would be so influenced to commit these atrocities. They're left vulnerable due to family issues not captured on film. For Sinister 1, the kids seem miserable. The son keeps having bad night terrors, the daughter is missing her friends, the dad is neglecting them, and the mom’s seconds away from divorcing him. I think using 2, it’s heavily hinted that the daughter and son were watching the tapes when the dad wasn't. I really wished 2 was written better.

[@Verasoul]

This movie is near perfect save for a couple hangups. The tone, lighting, score are perfect. The presentation of the murders with Super 8 projection had haunting 8MM vibes. What sours it is the unneeded jumpscare WOMPS like with the lawnmower audio spike, the cinematography for the attic jumpscare and then repeating that jumpscare in the end shot. They even mirror imaged it to have it fit with the box in the background. You know this was added last minute by some overhead exec saying it needed more scares. Should have just ended with a cut to black on that box with the Super 8 reel sound still going. Instead, the moment was cheapened. Thanks, Blumhouse! You've done it again...

[@philipbouchelle483]

This movie is very... funny to me in a lot of ways.
