It is the
third week of the month, so it is time for a Blu-Ray Collection movie review.
In this review, I will talk about my Blu-Ray of Sinister, directed by Scott Derrickson and starring Ethan Hawke
about a crime writer who moves his family to a new house to investigate murders
that happened there but to find a collection of Super 8 homemade films that
lead him and his family into grave danger.
This is my
third Blu-Ray Collection movie review, and for the first two I just mentioned
why I bought the film on Blu-Ray, but anything about the sound or look of the
film on Blu-Ray. I now believe that since I am basically reviewing a Blu-Ray, I
should talk about and rate the quality of the film. I will mention the look and
audio of it.
Sinister looks very good on Blu-Ray. The
cinematography for the movie is very good, and the transformation to Blu-Ray
format helps to really show off the cinematography and almost seemed to light up
the pixels on the television. I really like how this film looks on Blu-Ray.
This movie
sounds good on Blu-Ray. Although the sound does not go above and beyond, it is
still some good sound that works well for the film. The score is well-handled
and I did not have a hard time hearing the sound of the movie. I like how this
film sounds on Blu-Ray.
Now it is
time to explain why I believe that this film is worth buying on Blu-Ray. This
film has, I believe, one of the best horror movie stories in the past decade. I
love the story in this film and how it is a very different idea from what types
of stories we have gotten from films, especially horror films. I was very
surprised by most of the events and I was especially surprised by the ending.
All of these plot points were very unpredictable and the ending was fantastic
as is the entire story for the movie.
The writing
is also very good. Although we get some silly lines, I believe that the
dialogue is written very and that these are realistic lines coming out of these
people’s mouths. The story is told throughout several odd scenes, but it works.
The script is very unconventionally written and it really, really works for the
film, too. I also think that some characters and some scenes may be more
metaphorical than literal and that they maybe just represent something. I think
that this is a very good and underrated script.
Another
reason why I own this film is because of the surprising amount of enjoyment I
get out of out. I loved some scenes in this film, and I really enjoy almost all
of the rest. That is because of the script, but mainly the story and execution,
which is, like the writing, also very unconventional and different. Derrickson
really directs this movie very, very well. I am very interested in this case
and I want to see where the plot goes after this and what will happen after
this. This is film is also a scary movie. Out of all the forty or fifty or so
horror movies I have seen, this is one of the only ones that has actually
scared me. It bothered me afterwards and it did its job well.
I think that
this is a great horror and one of my all time favorite horror movies. On my
list of my favorite horror movies of all time I put this at number, but I am
not sure that it deserves that spot. Yes, I just said that is one of my
all-time favorite horror movies, but I do not know that it would be number one.
Still, I own this movie, I really, really enjoy watching it, and I will
probably watch it again in the near future.
