This movie is one of the greatest supernatural horror movies I have ever seen. A family moves into a new house and things instantly start going horribly wrong. Their eldest son falls into a coma, things move around on their own, and they begin to see ghosts. After finally being tortured enough, the family calls an experienced psychic, along with her team, in hopes of being rescued from the seemingly sinister forces at play. This leads them to the realization that they are, in fact, being haunted by a presence with an insidious agenda.

This movie is unsettling, to say the least. A true-crime novelist knowingly moves into a house where a gruesome family murder had taken place, with the intention of greater research for his next book. However, his family is kept unaware of this terrifyingly crucial piece of information as they move in. He soon finds a box of home-made tapes up in the attic. Eventually, he discovers that each tape has a recording of a family being brutally massacred by an unknown killer in their own home. Horrified but intrigued, he attempts to solve the mystery of the murders only to find himself in one.

This movie is a psychological thriller like no other. A prodigy violinist is forced to leave her academy to take care of her ill mother. Years later, her mother passes and she returns to the academy, only to find out that she has been replaced by another prodigy. There is no way to describe the events that unfold after this. Anything you think this movie is about, you will be wrong. It will keep you guessing until the very end.

Now, this is how you do a horror movie right. Based on a Swedish short film from 2013, this movie is centred around a demon that only appears in the dark. It latches itself on to a woman and begins to kill off everyone she loves. There is no way to capture the true horror of this movie in words. Being afraid of the dark has never before been able to plummet to this level. This movie will leave you sleeping with your lights on.

Turns out your mother was right. It is, indeed, possible to get too much of a good thing. Fried Twinkies, for example, fall into just such a category. So does taking too many trips on the Tilt-O-Whirl at the parish fair. And don't even get me started on the hazards of combining the two.

Director Scott Derrickson's horror-thriller "Sinister" should also be included on that list. A well-made genre picture that knows exactly how to worm its way into viewers' heads, it isn't just intense -- it is relentlessly intense. Uncomfortably intense, even.

Granted, getting a good dose of intensity is one of the reasons people buy tickets to horror flicks like "Sinister" in the first place -- and Derrickson shows that he knows exactly how to crank it up to 11. What he neglects to remember, however, is that relieving that tension from time to time is equally important.

A filmmaker can't just pump up the intensity and leave it there for the better part of two hours. Rather, there must be an ebb and flow to it all -- you scare your audience bejeezus-less, and then you give them a chance to exhale. It's called pacing -- and it is invaluable in any film, but particularly in horror movies.

Unfortunately, it is lacking in "Sinister," making it difficult to appreciate all the things that writer-director Derrickson ("The Day the Earth Stood Still," "The Exorcism of Emily Rose") does right in his film, which is chockablock with long shadows, sudden jolts and the sort of nerve-jangling moments that nightmares are made of.

Those positive attributes are even more impressive considering they must operate amid an ocean of genre cliches, from the setting (a house that was the site of an unspeakable tragedy), to the lamblike protagonists (a shiny, happy family hoping to make a go of it there), to the oily boogeyman at the center of it all (an ancient spirit that sees said shiny, happy family as a buffet of souls).

"Sinister" also follows all of the well-established genre rules mocked by every horror parody. Ethan Hawke's lead character -- a true-crime writer who moves his family into the house so he can draw inspiration from it as he writes about the tragedy that unfolded there - is the sort of stock character who investigates every otherwordly noise emanating from the attic rather than hightailing it out of there like any non-idiot would. He is also prone to poking around in the backyard bushes at midnight with a baseball bat when he sees a strange figure lurking therein -- rather than barring the doors and calling the police. Worst of all, he obstinately and inexplicably refuses to move his family out of the house -- even after realizing something terribly, terribly wrong has happened there. And, indeed, is still happening.

In fact, it's something he realizes very early on. We do, too -- right at about the time a box of old Super 8 film reels, labeled "home movies," mysteriously shows up in the new home's attic. These aren't your ordinary home movies, though. These films are evidence, each containing the chilling footage of some other shiny, happy family being murdered in their own home in some ghastly way.

Of course, Derrickson shows them to us -- all of them -- starting with the one that doubles as the film's opening scene. And every one of them is chilling. That's not because they're necessarily bloody in a "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" kind of way. Rather, they feel uncomfortably real, which elevates them from scary to downright disturbing -- and, once more, too intense. Maybe I'm revealing my inner old lady here, but even though they're "just" part of a movie, watching them feels wrong, and that's not an enjoyable feeling.

At least Hawke's character is suitably troubled by them, too. But rather than turning them over to the police, he realizes those films could be the key to turning his next book into the next "In Cold Blood." With "fame" apparently residing a notch or two higher than "safety of family" on his list of priorities, he ignores the warning signs and tries to unravel the mystery of where the films came from and who is behind them.

In other words: Dude is asking for it. The longer "Sinister" goes on, the clearer it becomes that he's going to get it, too. The only thing that will be unraveling here is him, as he ends up going toe to toe with a mysterious being known as Mr. Boogie, a soul-scarfing shadow-dweller whose name is most assuredly not the result of his winning a dance contest.

Pros and cons aside, "Sinister" has the benefit of arriving in the thick of Halloween season, right when movie-goers are most hungry for a few scares. And they'll get them from Derrickson's film, too.

watching movie will not harm the baby....but if u startle, jump out of fright, or ur heart thumps heavily, u may get excited and this can lead to pressure on ur womb...i wud not suggest to take this risk jus for a movie...and tht to so early in ur preg....if it wud have been ur 6th or 7th month - wen the baby is strong enuf...u can go...

it totally depends on how you take horror movies..if it increases your heartbeat for a long time (you feel scared and excited) then avoid it. Increased heartbeat and stress induces serotonin which will make baby unconfortable, no harm though. But if you used to watch horror movies even before pregnancy, then its fine. Personally I can not watch horror movies, so I anyways stay away from them. But i am watching a slightly grose (medical bloodshed) based serial fringe and I am perfectly fine, cos I am fine watching it due to my past experiences. So take your call as end of the day baby will feel what you feel. If you feel happy after watching movie (not frightened) then go for it

when u get startled or excited there is an adrenalin rush, so u need to be careful of such things, if u are the jumpy sort, who will keep thinking of the movie and get frightened due to some scnes, then its better to be avoided.
