Damn, that was creepy as fuck.all, probably the most frightened I've been. Unfortunately the resolution of the mystery isn't all that satisfying or frightening (not to me at least) but otherwise, as I think Andy said, one of the best found footage movies ever.

In some ways creepier than SESSION NINE, but NINE was much more successful in terms of maintaining the suspense right up to the final curtain, whereas SINSISTER dumps most of it in the first half.

This one creeped the hell out of me. I thought it worked well right
to the end.

i thought it was good too.
could still have done without the 'villain' though - went a bit downhill
with that.

In article <c5b97b43-6656-4bf4...@googlegroups.com>,
Doesn't weather repeated viewing terribly well.

The soundtrack and sound design carry the film and, once you're on top
of a couple of the tricks they play with that, you can see most of the
cues coming a mile away and end up disappointed some of the cheap jolts.

[minor spoiler below]

A good example of this is the lawnmower murder, which lifted me out of
my chair when I first saw it but, second time around, it was pretty easy
to tell that most of its impact (its relative suddenness
notwithstanding) was due to the guttural shriek that appeared on the
soundtrack at the same time as the "reveal".

Still, it's pretty creepy for the most part, even if the villain looks
(as, I believe, Andy observed) like a member of Slipknot. I liked it
well enough to see it on the big screen at a festival screening a few
weeks back but wouldn't wax rhapsodic about it.

So, you come back to remind us what a fucking CUNT you are.

We can never have too many CUNTs in alt.horror. That's why we love you,
dear White Lady.
