I really enjoyed Scott Derrickson's 'Sinister' and he followed it up
with a very good horror flick here.
It keeps you interested and on the edge of your seat the whole time.
Not to many slow parts and there are some pretty creepy and terrifying
moments. The tone and the dark hallways and dark basements and the
creepy noises and the sudden jumps and scares will make you jump a few
times yourself. I looked away a few times just because, you'll see.
A pretty decent story involving soldiers in Iraq and what happens to
them there and then what proceeds and how Eric Bana's character gets
involved while responding to a domestic disturbance call involving one
of those soldiers, and it takes off from there.
Eric Bana is pretty bad-ass here, as is Joel McHale. They are tough
cops from the Bronx who see some pretty insane stuff over the course of
a few shifts. Olivia Munn is a babe and plays a great wife who cares
and does great with little screen time.
It's a supernatural/demon/serial killer flick all rolled into one.
If you enjoy horror flicks like I do, and the supernatural and demon
stuff, def check this out. Not much gore, just very dark and creepy
with it's share of make you jump moments.
