MYST #2: Sinister (2012) 4 out of 5
First off let me start by saying that I rarely ever see horror movies, but for some reason I was dragged along by friends to come watch this, and to my surprise, I wasn't disappointed. It was about a crime novelist that moves to a home with his family where a murder took place, without his family knowing. He finds a box with super 8 film in it and he starts playing it. It is video recordings of different murders that occured in different areas with a reocurring character in all of them.
Ethan Hawke is the leading main character in this film and I thought he did an awesome job. Hawke has disappeared as of recently and hasn't done a good movie since Training Day. But in this film he actually becomes the character and acts very passionately. The thing I liked about this film is that they tused the serial killer aspects and the demonic aspects of horror films. You get the best of both worlds.
The reasoning I'm giving this movie a 4 out of 5 is because it ends like every other mediocre horror film. Very abrubtly and without reasoning. Other than this, i thought the movie was very good.

Good job with the MYST reviews. Great ideas, just keep going! Pack more in--talk about the cinematic elements, your expectations, the actors/directors, etc.
