Trailer


Reviews


80
Variety - Unnamed
The scares are not just intense but unyielding in this compelling horror yarn from "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" director Scott Derrickson.

Village Voice - Nick Pinkerton
Hawke's taut performance - lightly parodying his own career doldrums while playing an egotistical hack who's a close cousin of John Cassavetes's self-loathing actor in Rosemary's Baby - is totally credible.
75
IndieWire - Eric Kohn
The movie makes up for uneven dialogue and pacing issues through sheer horrific imagery.

Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
I knew perfectly well, after a while, what Sinister was going to scare me with. But I got scared anyway.

The Hollywood Reporter - John DeFore
Occasionally stupid (stretching even fright-flick conventions) but scary nonetheless, the picture should please horror fans.
