And then, he layers on the jump scares.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, I read about a study that said, based on viewers&#8217; heart rates, that 2012&#8217;s <strong><em>Sinister<\/em><\/strong> was the scariest movie ever made. Of course, like any study, there are bound to be doubters and skeptics asking &#8220;Well, what other movies did they watch?&#8221; or similar questions. Regardless, I&#8217;d never seen it and I was eager to put it to the test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>True crime writer Ellison Oswalt (Ethan Hawke) moves his family to a town in Pennsylvania to write a book about a murder that took place there. Oswalt hasn&#8217;t had a successful book in over 10 years and is in need of a hit to get back on his feet financially. He doesn&#8217;t tell his wife or kids that he&#8217;s actually bought the house where the murders he is writing about took place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hearing sounds in the attic, he discovers a Super 8 projector and some reels of film. All of them contain footage of murders, including the one that took place in the house in which he&#8217;s living. He begins to investigate their connection to one another unaware of the fact that, by watching them, he&#8217;s unleashed something (ahem) sinister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make no mistake, <strong><em>Sinister<\/em><\/strong> is a scary movie. I am not a fan of horror films that depend solely on jump scares to frighten the audience. If there&#8217;s no atmosphere to fire my imagination, the cheap &#8220;gotcha&#8221; moments become more annoying than anything else. Director Scott Derrickson creates an environment where your imagination can go wild. And then, he layers on the jump scares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cinematographer Christopher Norr uses the stark contrasts between darkness and light to punctuate certain scenes. The absolutely unnerving musical score by Christopher Young &#8212; which sounds like backward masking at times &#8212; makes excellent use of low, rumbling bass to create a feeling of dread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ethan Hawke brings believability to the multifaceted role of a man equally pushed by stress, fear, and curiosity. Juliet Rylance, as the wife who&#8217;s seen her husband get a little too deep into his previous projects, provides exemplary support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s only in the final reel that <strong><em>Sinister<\/em><\/strong> wobbles a bit. The ending just didn&#8217;t land for me like the rest of the movie emotionally. It wasn&#8217;t a cop out or a twist as much as it just felt predictable. Still, though, it didn&#8217;t ruin the experience for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t think I can pay the movie a higher compliment than this little anecdote. Fifteen minutes after watching <strong><em>Sinister<\/em><\/strong> in the middle of a Saturday afternoon, I was sitting in my living room beginning to work on this review. My dog barked at something, and I nearly had a heart attack. I was still very wound up from the movie in broad daylight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is <strong><em>Sinister<\/em><\/strong> the scariest movie of all time? I think it certainly has to be considered as one the best candidates for that honor. But that&#8217;s a debate I don&#8217;t think anyone would win.<\/p>\n\n\n<span class=\"fsrs\"><span class=\"fsrs-stars\"><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-far fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"hide fsrs-text fsrs-text__hidden\" aria-hidden=\"false\">4.0 out of 5.0 stars<\/span><span class=\"lining fsrs-text fsrs-text__visible\" aria-hidden=\"true\">4.0<\/span><\/span>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Director Scott Derrickson creates an environment where your imagination can go wild.
