    This movie was quite good...until the end. It was not as scary as one would think given the title. There were some holes in the plot and became very predictable in the last half hour. I would not spend the money to see it in a theater, it's a wait for dvd kind of movie.

    Liked Sinister a lot, best horror flick I've seen in a long time. Entire cast was great.

    Convoluted plot and not too many scares constitute the sum total of this boring horror movie. Not even psychological explanations as to what is going on.
