We missed the beginning of the movie-cause we got lost en route-, and others had occupied our rightful seats, so we sat near the exit instead. I think that seating position kind of stepped up a psychological ramp for me...not being surrounded by other people while waiting for the demons to appear, whilst bathed in that glowing light emitting from the Exit sign...such an uncomfortable spot. >.<
Anyway, the movie stood out for me for a number of morbid reasons; a writer finds a box of tapes in the attic of his new house and it turns out those tapes are of real-life, gruesome killings. Initially he wants to call the police, but eventually sets down the phone because he, being fame-hungry, wanted those scenes to be the base of his new novel.
Gotta admit, a species of morbid curiousity had me looking forward to finding out the contents of those innocuously labelled tapes(eg: a tape was labelled 'Pool Party' and the people in that film didn't know that someone/something was taping them. Later on at night, the scene shows those same people taped to the lawn chairs and drowned one by one..to add to the morbidity, the feet of those submerged were twitching..very much alive).
To cut a long story short, this movie completely isn't for the faint hearted/ those who abhor morbid, gruesome scenes...the kicker is when, at the end of the film, the killers are revealed to be the murdered people's very own offspring(cause they were possessed by the demon, etc). The killings are hella bloody and awful to watch, esp a scene with a lawn mower >_<. Kinda of like what happened in a Stephen King novel(Misery)~
Oh and the ending of 'Pool Party'-the son of those drowned victims appeared on film, lifted a finger to his lips while staring directly at the camera and slipped into the pool presumably for a swim...among those drowned corpses. Max morbid and chilling..
Then there was this scene in which demon children were stalking the writer at night, the tension felt was really no joke! I plugged in my iPod to listen to songs to relieve said tension and titles like 'When They Come for Me' and 'I'll be Gone'(Linkin Park) kept on popping up. -_____-
Talk about backfires.
Mum didn't like it, cause it didn't seem realistic to her, but i did! I'm a morbid little creature. >:)
Ah, if only if there were a print version of Sinister...it'd fit right in with my other horror novels. Wouldn;t buy the film version cause i scare easily when it comes to visuals -.-
The storyplot is morbidly good and eerie/disturbing enough for me tho.
Anyhow, went on a mini shopping spree after the movie, and got these accessories!:
Really nice gold filigree bracelet and silver heart earrings from Diva, and pretty red hairband from Helen! Mum got me the latter cause Helen had this 'buy 2 get one free' offer. <3 Mad love it~~
Placed my Hokkaido turtle plushie at the back, cause i act cute like that.
HAHAHA.
