MYST post #2: Sinister

I did my MYST post on the movie Sinister because I haven't done a movie this genre in any of my MYST posts and I wanted to switch it up! Sinister is a horror movie that came out in 2012. The main character is played by Ethan Hawke who is an crime novelist and discovers a box of eerie home made movies that throw his family into supernatural horror. Movie after movie they figure out what made the house haunted leading up to a killer ending that i won't spoil for you.
                                             
For being a scary movie Sinister did very well. It had a box office of 48.1 million. Its score on rotten tomatoes is 62% which surprised me because knowing how sucky all scary movies are i expected it to get a low score as well. One positive comment that I found was from Nick Pinkerton from Village Voice and he says ," A proficient, rattling horror story." I agree with his comment. This movie kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time and actually had a story to it. One negative comment that I found on rotten tomatoes was Michael O'Sullivan from the Washington Post. He said that,"The hero of "Sinister" is almost unaccountably dumb. So, unfortunately, is the movie." I'm  not surprised to have a comment about the movie being stupid. Yes it is a little bit stupid, but compared to all the other scary movies it is a job well done. At the end of this movie I wasn't able to sleep for a few nights so I hope that answers your question to if it is scary.
