After researching Sinister, I decided to go and watch it to help me have a better understand of the theme ‘horror’
The title of the film suggests something subtle and creepy. But nothing could be further from the case. Explicit shocks, with crashing musical stabs create a new kind of sinister. But definitely not a film that haunts you when you sleep.
I thought the film was original and was interesting, it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way through, the cheap scares worked well and made the whole cinema jump out of there skin – I think the shock factor works well in films and it created a lot of controversy . It has been credited as "the sort of tale that would paralyze kids' psyches". And deeply frightening horror film that takes its obligation to alarm very seriously.
It has given me a new outlook on the horror genre, but has made me come to the conclusion I won’t be using graphic images in my trailer as although they will work well, the portrayal and filming would be beyond my ability
