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

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

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

I can see why people like this movie and keep bringing it up to us. It’s got a distinctive dark tone while still being very approachable for mainstream audiences. It’s like if The Crow had a baby with The Nun from The Conjuring.
