Even the daytime scenes are shrouded in such deep shadows, you're mainly left wondering why nobody ever just turns on the damn lights.

One of the more authentically scary horror thrillers to haunt the screen in some time, a product of smart filmmaking, intriguing premise and a great lead performance from Ethan Hawke.

A mixed bag of old-school and contemporary horror tricks that occasionally raises a hair prickle of intrigue.

Hawke brings a gravitas to the role of parent and home protector that is of far greater interest than the film itself.

C'mon, Ethan Hawke, you're better than this. Isn't there a "Before Sunset" sequel that needs your attention?

It comes together with a gruesome though excellent ending that some will find difficult to shake.

The hero of "Sinister" is almost unaccountably dumb. So, unfortunately, is the movie.

Despite some effective bumps and frights, and at least one memorable jolt from a full-throated D'Addario, "Sinister" is mainly just a series of snuff-reels with sick-joke titles ...

In its own right, it's atmospheric, just not very memorable or scary.

More stupid than scary, Sinister can't even figure out who its real demon is.

Highly effective, tense little fright rouser... If you're a horror fan, you won't be disappointed.
