Sinister Plot Summary:
In “Sinister,” true-crime horror movie writer Ellison Oswalt moves his family into a new home, unaware of its dark history. Hoping to find inspiration for his next book, Ellison discovers a box of old home movies in the attic, each depicting gruesome murders. As he delves deeper into the footage, Ellison realizes that a sinister force is at work, linking the murders across different locations and time periods. His obsession with the case leads him down a dangerous path, as he uncovers disturbing connections to a pagan deity named Bughuul, who possesses the children of those who watch the films.
As Ellison becomes increasingly consumed by his investigation, his own family becomes endangered by the malevolent force lurking within their home. Haunting images and terrifying encounters plague them, leading to a harrowing confrontation with Bughuul himself. “Sinister” delivers a chilling blend of psychological horror and supernatural terror, with Ethan Hawke delivering a standout performance as a man unraveling under the weight of his own curiosity and fear.
