Sinister


I had a fight between my personalities about if I should watch it.
Then someone offered the +1 seat and I jumped at it. 

Sinister is a well named horror/ mystery movie that evolves around a real crime writer and the evidence he found while writing his new book.

Ellison moved into a house with his family to work on his new book which involves a missing child and the rest of her family who were hung dead on a tree in their backyard. Upon moving in, he finds a box with videos filmed with super8 films, with labels that sound like how people would casually label a family day. He plays them, and learns more than he expected.

The whole movie had this really creepy atmosphere to it, and even when you just know that the next moment something scary is about to happen, you'll still jump when it does. Maybe because it's in a house where you feel comfortable in, instead of in a cave or abandoned house, and that plays with your imagination, because you think... what if...


Like 99% of horror/ thrillers I've watched, sound effect played a huge role. The visual effects were somewhat scary, but it won't work as well without the sudden loud thuds and screeches.

If you're a horror/ thriller movie fanatic, this is something for you that is different from the past few that I've watched. It's not all horror and suspense though, it has a strong touch of gore too.

I was scared even for the parts when people were just talking. The horror sank in and got cozy.

Ted. Should you watch it?

I'm talking about the cinema version in Malaysia.

The answer is: YES.


Ted is a bromance + chick flick with a lot of "sexuality" and vulgarity.
If you wince when people say "fuck" and "shit", it's better to avoid it.

Contrary to popular belief, these swear words were not cut out nor muted.
There was just a 3 second part when Ted was muted and well, you can't lip read what he said anyway.
Come on, he's a bear. You could however guess that what he said wasn't too pleasant from what came after the mute.

"Ted" about a boy, John who wished that his bear would come to life and he got his wish granted.
Fast forward to 27 years later.

John stays with Lori, his girlfriend for 4 years together with Ted, and at the age of 35, John is not what one would usually call successful. He gets into some trouble with Ted and Lori finally decides that it's time for him to move on without Ted.

The whole movie was overall funny, but like any movie, there are the happy times, sad times, and suspense. To fully understand the jokes, however, you have to know a lot about the American pop culture. It's a good way to look back into the 90s though.

What is cut from the cinema version?
I assume only sexual scenes, because the words are left alone. Even smoking pot was untouched.

So if you don't mind watching the movie, or you're going with your crush, or you're being a third wheel and want to avoid the awkward sexy time, go to the cinema for it.
