While Sinister starts off like a cliché horror movie would, it does from time to time become original enough so that it stands out. But in between some of Sinister's great moments, there are long, boring and filling scenes which take you right out of the moment. I will commemorate Sinister for using original horror techniques rather then the traditional jumpscare, but there just isn't enough heart and substance in this film for it to be entertaining throughout.
It does suffer from some poor characterization, writing and story elements, but on the other hand it does serve up some nice twists and turns in the story. Just wish the film was more consistent in it's approach.
