حسب دراسة علمية اتنشرت على مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي في الاسبوعين اللي فاتوا ان فيلم المشئووم من أكتر الأفلام المرعبة في السنيين اللي فاتت وده بعد دراسة على عينة من المشاهدين ودراسة نبضات القلب عندهم اثناء مشاهدة الفيلم وافلام اخرى يمكن دي المرة الخامسة او السادسة اتفرج على الفيلم ، ومن افلامي المفضلة ، نتفق او نختلف ولكنه استخدم العناصر العادية لافلام الرعب وقدم حاجة وشخصية مرعبة خيالية جديدة باغول الحبكة هي من نوع حبكة فاوست يعني بنلاقي ايثان هوك اللي قايم بدور كاتب وشهرته قلت وبقاله عشر سنيين ما اصدرش كتب جديدة بينقل لبيت جديد هو وعائلته وبنعرف ان البيت ده حصل فيه جريمة قتل بشعة واختفى منه... read more

this film gets an extra 1/2 star just for being one of the few much-lauded horror films that when i got around to watching it, i wasn't constantly rolling my eyes through the second half. "what's it all about, alfie?": okay, first off, i should give you a mild spoiler here: this is in the supernatural horror genre. while it was fairly obvious to me that something supernatural was happening from the very opening frame of the film, apparently this was too subtle for some people. the lion's share of negative feedback i've read about the film is how the story "switches" in the final third or read more

part of obligatory october of horror despite being one of the most popular and highest rated horror films to come out during my first big horror heyday, i thought i hadn't seen sinister. but during the first 5 minutes it became increasingly clear that i had watched the start of it at some point. and then i remembered: i had tried to watch this but chickened out. so that was a strong way to set my expectations. and honestly, it didn't disappoint. sinister is one hell of an atmospheric horror experience. excellent tension building with payoff scares that actually feel earned and a tight read more

2012s Sinister is directed by Scott Derrickson and stars Ethan Hawke. Its a pretty graphic movie in its violence but is pretty weak as a plot goes. Its another haunted house movie but its a pretty good one. Im probably nitpicking but this feels so generic and samey to me. Bughuul is cool but he doesnt show up for such a long time. The tapes dont build tension because even from the first one you already know whats happening. Obviously, I wont spoil the ending but its a saving grace for this movie. The lawnmower scene is freaking insane! I just dont love it, or hate it. I lean positive but I... read more

It had potential, but the scares are dull and there's no real horror or suspense whatsoever. It's just a whole lot of talking, drinking, and more talking. The child actors definitely did their jobs, though. There's no question about that. read more

Could have had better scares. The plot was good. The Super 8 films were the real highlight of the movie; very jarring and unsettling.

	Macro	7
Truly one of the best horror movie of the decade

	Sir Z the mighty	6
while the story was fairly entertaining, it felt too shallow. one never really felt like any of the characters was developed enough to make
