I just watched the movie Sinister. I think it came out in 2012. From what I've read, the film got decent reviews (for a horror film). As a fan and critic of horror on varying mediums, let me just say that this was a film that had it all (solid main character, eerie and horrifying, yet subtle moods/visuals, and a mortifying antagonist)... But then totally blew it. Regardless, i recommend the film because even though I feel like it defeated itself, the film WAS scary and chilling. And even though i was disasitisfied by the ending and it removed me from the film atmosphere, i still relized I was checking around each corner in my apartment and scared of the dark a bit.

If you dont want spoilers, dont read forward. Heres what the film did wrong, in my opinion; It resorted to cliché, sell-out themes and content of every single other run-of-the mill horror flick. the first 1/3 or almost 1/2 of the film was heavily original, scary, gritty, and just perfect. As the film went on though, its almost like the writers got lazy. They started using jump out scenes and really loud noises frequently for cheap scares. they ceased development of the antagonist who appeared in the mini-films, and just turned him into a ghost/boogie man, where he would have been far scarier as human sociopath with some sort of deformities. They utilized the "evil children" theme.. Omg i hate this one so much.. When children become supernatural killers or haunters, or they start "seeing things", or drawing pictures of the "boogie man". Im sick of them repeating this theme. It totally pulled me out of the movie and made it feel so cheap. Im not scared of kids. I would punch a kid who was a acting even remotely creepy and not feel guilty. ugghh stop it with the little children horror for the love of god. Lastly, the twist at the end sucked. It wasnt even really a twist so much. It didnt feel like a smart resolution that tied everything in. It just felt like they couldnt come up with a good story half way through, resorted to using kids, and then said, hmm lets have his daughter kill him. Please people.. We need to do better than this.

That movie had a great set-up, and then just blew it.

I completely agree with this review. My thoughts exactly.

I found it rather consistently horrible. (Okay, bad choice of words there, but horrible as in bad.)
In its defence I was with a group of friends, and we weren't really paying that close attention in the beginning so that might have ruined the atmosphere a bit, which is essential in a horror flick.

However, we did start paying attention when it got ridiculously bad at the end. Especially the finally scene, can't remember if it was before or after the credits - when the children stand in the hallway and are supposed to look scary and it fails so badly. x9
It would have been improved so much if they didn't use children and the antagonist didn't look like he was trying to be a kvlt black metaler, though.

^I also saw Mama.

It was okay. Solid acting, pretty typical gothic fairytale thing. Del Toro can do better.

Jessica Chastain was great in it, and super duper hot.

Hey guys, been a fan of UG for a while, but just joined because I thought I would try my hand at writing a few stories. Very first one ever so please be gentle, but let me know what you think.


[B][U]See me?


Hello. Let me start by saying there will be some of you that finish this text, shrug and move on. You’ll add it to the list of cheap thrills that you have chased over the years, and the sun will rise tomorrow. But there will be some of you that will not be able to shrug it off; this parasitic combination of words will embed itself into your mind, and grow. I will warn you once. Stop now. Ignore your curiosity and forget you ever began reading.






Fool. You’ve come too far, there is no turning back now…you have made your commitment. I cannot accurately explain to you what I am, but I can try. Quiet your mind.





Shhhhh,







sit still, and listen.










Did you hear that? No? That’s what I’d tell myself too. If you did hear it, it has begun. The seed has been planted deep in your mind; one that will grow, torment, and destroy. How quickly this happens is entirely up to you. You see, the more you focus on me, the closer I get, and the stronger I become. Currently, I am a bump in the night. But you can make me into so much more. Just imagine the possibilities; I could be someone in your basement right now. I could be that sound down the hallway. I could be that person who looks at you oddly on the sidewalk. I could be that face in the window. I could be whats making the hair on your neck raise. I think I am. So much potential. Reading more will help.
Do you hear that? I know you do. That voice inside your head. You think that is your voice? No, no no. That’s my voice. I wrote these words, you are merely a vessel of consciousness. Yes, I know you are confident that you are the master of your own mind. You were. No longer. Let us try something.



Say your name in your head; your full name.



Now say mine.



Think of me more and more, and soon you’ll be able to see me; what shape I take will be up to you. For now, I will hide away in your peripheral vision, reminding you of how close I truly am.

See me?

Quite good. I like the idea of something that's there but you can't quite see it and gives you the feeling of paranoia.

Also welcome to the forums

WaveCollapser

Thanks buddy! Lol it was late last night and I figured I would give it a go. We gotta keep this thread alive!!

DardySon

Agreed the only problem is there isn't a whole lot of content left to post and not many people do what you're doing and try their hand at writing their own.

That first gif is awesome. It's not "I'M NOT SLEEPING TONIGHT." scary, but damn it's pretty creepy. That third frame where her whole body suddenly becomes visible is freaky for some reason.
