Sinister (2012) | *First Time Watching* | Movie Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@stakyd1]

I think the creepy ass music is what makes this movie so eerie

[@yarsivad000.5]

@@stakyd1 And the family being hanged first scene lets you know jump scars are going to be the least of your worries.

[@House0fHoot]

*The Boards Of Canada* did the music, & they’re Scottish 👍

[@VNOMALII]

i love the sound design in this film. truly masterful sound design.

[@Welovehorrormovies]

@@yarsivad000.5exactly!! Especially when this film came out, jump scares and traditional Hollywood horror was the norm and being this a huge studio people were not expecting this! I watched it in theaters when I was really stoned & 16 lmao oh my god! It messed me up for two weeks

[@SickBoiRENegade]

Sinister is a super underrated movie. The way it was shot is a visual masterpiece. Not to mention, it's terrifying AF😂

[@leetheredlion]

Smile was great. I scared the crap outa my girl watching that togethe 👌

[@Wraiven22]

Sinister is very highly rated in the horror community though. Pretty sure they did a study that showed it to be the “scariest movie ever” according to heart rates of study participants

[@coffeecakes1858]

Yup. I remember watching and being shocked at the ending. It was so good, yet no one talks about it in the mainstream.

[@TheJester-ct5pi]

Scariest movie I'd seen for over a decade till I watched Smile 2 this week, if you haven't seen that and you love horror go watch it in theatre, just know you shouldn't go alone cuz it's terrifying

[@annaparsons4788]

​Thx much for the scoop on Smile 2...hate blowing $$ on garbage & never rely on "critical acclaim" lofl!

[@gibsonmunyi7225]

The design on Asia's security blanket is too funny😂. I'm sure she feels so safe under there.

[@berndgeels]

Asia at 20:55 had me almost rolling on the floor. I love how her blanket just showed the image of her face and hands. It's like I was looking at Asia...but I wasn't. You two are hilarious.

[@razz5558]

That was a surrealistically hilarious moment.

[@Kraev369]

I agreeee lmao the editing was on point with them closeups on the blanket hahah!! im dead

[@bebop_557]

The pool scene was real btw. They had oxygen hoses under the water. The people tied to the chairs? Real. The camera pans up to their legs twitching so you don't see them being fed oxygen. The actor who played the Bughuul was underwater for 3 HOURS STRAIGHT because if he kept getting out and back in would have ruined the costume. He had weighted shoes on and was underwater for 3 hours being fed pxygen through a hose. When the director shouted "action" he took a big hit of O2, held his breath, and actually walked along under the pool.

[@karidennis6154]

That is wild

[@rafac7384]

Cool. Where did you see that? I'd like to watch it too

[@Cadinho93]

I feel like score isn't really talked about much with horror movies, but Sinister's score is so haunting. Like the main score when he's watching the videos. Gives me chills just imagining that music. Also, when they filmed it, Ethan Hawke hadn't seen the film reels, so his first reaction at the beginning was real.

[@FormaAlert]

The sound design as a whole is fantastic, films like this and Smile are reminders of how important that is when it comes to horror

[@cameron9292]

@@FormaAlert Insidious also did some stuff with the sound design to amplify the jumpscares, the crib scene still gives me chills every time I see it. BTW if you haven't seen Smile 2 yet go see it, because it's horrifying, I love horror and that was the first time the thought of leaving the theatre actually crossed my mind

[@shakycam3]

Sinister AKA Turn the Damn Lights On, The Movie.

[@mastixencounter]

no that's lights out

[@DirtSpud]

i always thought it would be funny if just turning the lights on made the ghosts stop lol "damn it they figured it out, that's the ONE rule guys. Pack it up we are going next door."

[@leeb907]

Cut the light on!

[@santiagohardy2728]

The "Lawn Work 86'" home movie scene is the one jumpscare in that movie that GOT me.!😵👍

[@Hellseeker1]

That lawnmower scene,

[@felipeferreira89]

You know it's a good movie when Asia starts yelling "YOU ARE LYING!" 😂

[@kellysowhat88]

Can someone please do a super cut of Asia saying, “they didn’t even wait 5 minutes”!

[@annaparsons4788]

Oh yeah, make it a drinking game plz!

Not a franchise.

[@incogspectator3042]

What second movie? pretty sure that doesn't exist 🤣

[@AmbassadorKat]

The way he absolutely *refuses* to turn on a ceiling light under any circumstances 😅

[@ChrisLake454]

Cool fact about Baghuul: his origins aren't just tied to modern folklore; some believe he represents an ancient fear of storytelling itself, where the act of recording dark tales gives life to the evil within them. In a way, he's a warning about the power of what we choose to preserve and share.

[@michellebaymiller3388]

He’s a child eater also which is why this movie is so horrifying

[@camhunts]

Wait what I thought they just made him up 🥲so in a way the making of this movie gives life to him 😵

[@staciemorton2285]

❤ I love how Asia said to the little girl oh please don’t come out the TV! I giggled at a lot of things you guys say!

[@ThisHandleIsntAvaluhbull]

Yall are truly killing it this Halloween season. Every Halloween I regret not watching more horror movies, I feel like just watching ya’ll react to these movies have finally given me my fix!

[@FS-ky5hk]

B.J.: "Asia keep your eyes open." Asia: Throws blanket over head. Me: "Technically her eyes are open."

[@sarahvetoe8134]

The atmosphere in this movie keeps you on the edge constantly. Very well done.

[@moonglow630]

I LOVE horror/scary/thriller movies. Most of them I watch no problem. I live on the ground floor of my home by myself. It has an entrance to our yard, which is quite dark at night, with some lights, a state park/forest on one side, and the Pacific Ocean straight ahead. Point is, it’s quite desolate. So, watching most scary movies I’m fine. But no matter how many times I’ve seen this movie, it scares the shit outta me. I’m talking that laying in bed not wanting to move scared. This is one of the scariest movies I’ve ever seen.

[@ohioboy17]

I love that when Asia’s terrified she just giggles 🤣

[@Champagne_Rob]

You guys should watch the fourth kind. It’s a pretty trippy and disturbing movie

[@seanbrookshier1466]

Agree

[@PML78]

I also agree With a true story behind it

[@rebeccahopkins9522]

The sound design in this film is so good. One of the best in all of horror actually. No one ever mentions it really, but it’s a huge part of the effectiveness of this film to scare the 💩 out of you 😂

[@WilczekAnia]

Great reaction guys. I discovered your channel just recently and I love it already. You're both kind, funny, smart and very entertaining to watch. I wish you many more great movies to discover and joy&happiness in your life, all the best. Kisses from Poland. Anna😊👏🌹

[@mistyharris7463]

The daughter was rebuffed by her Dad with her bringing him coffee, but he was too busy working. That led for Mr Boogie to use the kids to get to her. The son probably stopped 'talking' with the kids after the school incident.

[@godlymajins]

The silent video in the beginning is haunting

[@horrorbythebookwithnoelwing]

I think Sinister is most bothersome horror flick in history. They did a study of horror movies a while back based on heart rate, breathing, and Sinister was number one for causing physiological reactions. Loved you guys did this one. And Asia's blanket is hilarious! Oddity is next? Streaming on Shudder right now!

[@staciemorton2285]

Thanks! I think you guys would enjoy the movie, Becky. I love them both. Also, the babysitter from Netflix there’s two of them and they are hilarious. Great comedy horror movies!

[@raygun1414]

30:00 when he snatched the blanket LMAOO im cryin

[@Caillron]

This movie puts you on edge from the get-go and doesn't let up at all. One of my all-time favorite horror movies.

[@SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

Scott Derickson (director) is a master at tension. This movie didn't do anything particularly innovative, but the scares are so well-built that it is actually terrifying. The sound design too...

[@skyofthelivingdead]

I think he perfected what he was doing in Sinister with The Black Phone.

[@trudywolfe2795]

Thanks!

[@kristinebautz1859]

I saw this in the theater thinking it wouldn't be that scary. Man, I screamed with that lawnmower scene. I was feeling such dread through the whole film. Incredible scary movie. The only thing I would have changed was that last scare with bagool jumping out. I think visually him taking the daughter was very haunting and left me completely shook. But still great movie, your reactions are terrific ❤

[@kellyi.4353]

BJ he didn’t lie. When the wife asked him, “We didn’t move a few doors down from the scene of the crime? I don’t want to know about it.” (Something like that) He said, “No”. He didn’t lie. They DIDN’T move a few doors down. He told the truth. That fool moved INTO the house 😂😂😂

[@NamelessMessenger4547]

I don’t normally give thumbs up on KZbin, but this is definitely getting my rare 👍. This is one of my favorites to watch with people who have never seen it.❤❤❤

[@jacobchrismas2803]

Fun fact, the actors reactions when he watches the films is genuine. He had no idea what was on the films before hand.

[@anastasia.6470]

Oh my...! It actually crossed my mind, I thought it to be a really genuine, horrified reaction, but then I thought ''Ethan is a really great actor!'' Which he is, of course! Thanks for the info!

[@camhunts]

I'll never forget that lawnmower scene had me jump out my skin 😭🤣🫣

Amazing reaction as usual. This movie was crazy and the sounds in it made it scarier.

Your intro is AWESOME! So Halloween and spooky fun! This is a movie that scared the crap out of me the first time I watched it. It's so well made and well acted and a really scary storyline. Ethan Hawke has really become a dependable horror actor. Loved watching this with y'all!

[@YoutubeCensorsYou]

14:59 "This man don't believe in light" LOL! Asia always blaming the actors when she is scared.

HAHAHA i came to say this!

[@9876babyboy]

The sound design overall is the what ties this movie together for me. That, and the fact that ceiling lights don't exist in this movie.

[@Patriciareadss]

“surely NOW he’s had enough” had me wheezing

[@meganbezio4320]

Taking Lives was a great movie with Ethan Hawke and Angelina Jolie. If you want a deep psychological thriller you should watch The Cell with Jennifer Lopez!!

[@lauralouise1646]

Yep, sinister is something else. It's a horrifying tense snuff movie with children TERRIFYING 😱 great reaction video thankyou loved it 😊

[@perfectq7206]

Baghul also means, he who brings savings to your light bill.

[@rafac7384]

This movie scared me so much when I watched it for teh first time! It's the scariest movie ever for me and for a study made a couple years ago. 16:07 I think what helps the movie is that score. It's so haunting and eerie. Your jumps are the best!😂29:56, 36:31, 44:09

[@kellyi.4353]

Asia, when you ask, “Why do he keep watching? He’s still watching…..the reason why he is watching the films he found in the attic, is because he is a true crime author. He moved to the town (in that house) so he can write about the murder that took place. The films depict various murders on various families. Up until then, he thought it was just the family who was hung. The films provide material. He’s researching. He’s gathering information. So he can write his book.

[@TrentRushton]

It is amazing the actor who played the officer, played Eddie in It Chapter 2.

[@kylerokeh1089]

It’s in the movie bible: a movie isn’t truly scary until Asia says “you are lying” and bj say “nuhuh”😅

[@mask8961]

My oldest child and I sat on the couch, turned off all lights, and watched this movie. It SCARED the S*** out of us!! Thought the neighbors would call the police, because we screamed so loud. Slept with all the lights on that night. 😂😂😂😂

"Throw the whole house away" 😭💀

[@talex86]

This one is one of my favourite horror movies. I love the whole concept, the whole mistery about the killings right until the end. It made much more scarier the film to me, than others without any plot or a little twist. And it's always scarier when a child is the evil or killer.

[@tequila_mockingbird547]

This movie creeped me tf out! I think most scary movies are cheesy, but this one got me 😫

Hey guys, nice reaction. I suggest the sequel. The music as well as the terror in this one was great. The name reminds me of an X-Men character, Mr. Sinister. I suggest Tourist Trap, One Dark Night, White Noise, and Burnt Offerings. Don't forget to hang sage in the kitchen, "spirit in the kitchen." Love the blanket, haha shoot.
