Sinister

A bloody splatter flick leaves audience overwhelmed by the tension created during the creepy night sequences.  A very catchy beginning which allows the audience to be engaged throughout the spooky scenes.

 The films protagonist Ellison moves in a house with his wife and two children.  Upon moving in and analyzing the house, he finds 8 films up in the attic, these tapes consist of murders faced by the family members who previously lived in this house. Whilst watching the tapes he finds a chain of similar symbol which he tries to unfold to find out the cause of the murders.

This film was most appealing to me as the film focused more on the plot, the characters are more developed and have a more diverse story line. Many of the horror films contain many horrifying scenes with a less lasting impression whereas sinister only has a fair share which leaves a lasting sensation throughout the film.

I really liked this scene as what he found as evidence on the tape, he then experiences it himself which makes it quite scary. Before the sense is shown there is a suspense sound track, giving a echo beat reaching its peak to create a upcoming tempo.

Again in this scene Ellison views the tape and the 'Bagour' is seen to move his head which almost feels like he is behind the laptop. who is thirsty for more blood sucking murder. this lighting used is very dim in all the scene so that the horror imaginary is maintained
