Crime writer Ellison Oswalt moves his family into a house where a horrific crime took place earlier, but his family doesn't know. He begins researching the crime in hopes of writing a book about it. Oswalt examines video footage that he finds in the house to help him in his research, but he soon discovers more than he bargained for.
"From director Scott Derrickson ("The Exorcism of Emily Rose"), this is a somewhat conventional horror production, but very effective due to its direction and performances. 'Sinister' presents Hawke as a family father and writer who, obsessed with repeating the success of his first novel, decides to take his family to live in the house where a brutal murder took place. Very standard but satisfactory horror proposal that presents ideas about our relationship with images."
