The pacing of “Sinister” moves along as smoothly as the film in a theater’s projector. As if foreshadowing the story, the lighting of scenes portrays the impending doom at the end of the film. One unique aspect of this film is the lighting, which gets progressively darker.
“Sinister” takes a new direction in Derrickson’s films, with its clever use of cinematography and images on the Super 8 camera, making it a more memorable film than both “The Day the Earth Stood Still” and “The Exorcism of Emily Rose,” both of which he directed. Ellison sets out to discover their meaning, only to get sucked into a dark and “sinister” world. When he reviews the films for his book, he discovers a pattern of symbols with a mysterious demonic figure known as Bughuul, the only link in the murders. Upon moving in, Ellison discovers a box of old Super 8 films complete with the camera.
He attempts this by moving into the house of a recently deceased family with his wife Tracy (Juliet Rylance) and two kids, Trevor (Michael Hall D’Addario) and Ashley (Clare Foley). Catching a ghost on film is one thing, but unleashing demons through a Super 8 film reel is what makes Scott Derrickson’s latest horror film “Sinister” unique in theaters.Īnti-hero Ellison Oswalt (Ethan Hawke) is a true-crime writer struggling to climb his way back to fame with a new book.
