I am not sure what you want me to say. All the subject matter for a horror film can be labeled as “heavy” while making it so you only see dangling feet from a tree or an image of a floating body for a few seconds. The Ring which is PG-13 showed suicide and dead bodies for example.

If we have different outlooks, i can respect that but i am so tired of people (generally speaking) acting like my feelings on a movie are wrong. I almost want to stop talking on this site and others. 95% of the time because i am opinionated, i have to hear how wrong i am…. I am sick of it.

It’s like I was reading myself. YES to everything.

Are you kidding me? There’s depiction of kids killing their own fucking families in horrific ways… How could you possibly have thought that Sinister was rated PG-13 or was aimed at a PG-13 rating?? If the sequel is going to be PG-13, then it will probably be a watered-down mess. As far as gore in horror movies goes, I can take it or leave it depending on the strength and type of story being told. But hey, if you didn’t like Sinister… C’est la vie, different strokes for different folks as they say.

Just a suggestion, but a fun “creepy, killer kids” movie (at least in my opinion) was the 2008 British horror “The Children.” I have yet to see Elijah Wood’s flick “Cooties” which is supposed to be quite funny and gory but I can’t seem to find it anywhere.
I typically have little to no interest in this particular sub-genre, but “Sinister” sufficiently creeped me out… I thought Bahgul was scary as fuck, so I really hope they don’t make the sequel ALL about the kids…
Oh! and clowns…Man I hate fucking clowns… Not particularly scared by them, just find them unnerving and irritating IRL….But the 2014 flick “Clown,” while not outright scary, is a seriously well-done, creepy flick. The transformation this dude goes through is downright disturbing. “Clown” is the ONLY movie of its sub-genre that I have or would ever recommend.

Haha that musta been before she played in “One Missed Call,” quite possibly THE worst (wide-released) horror movie of the 2000’s. I’ll give her props for “The Rules of Attraction,” though that was just an awesome fucking movie elevated further by great performances from James Van Der Beek & Ian Somerhalder.

Lmao so true CR, so true.

The first one was barely ok…it had a decent first half and then the 3rd act flat out sucked. It was also poorly shot, and far to dark. There were some scenes where I could barely see what was going on because of the raw darkness of the film.

Zachary, i REALLY liked CITADEL too! very good movie.

Ahhh….it all makes sense now. 🙂 Here’s hoping this will be good. I thought “Citadel” was one of the most edge of your seat films I’ve seen in a while…even if it kind of fell a part at the end too.

Nice man! That’s not a bad movie to introduce you to horror. You’ve gotta watch it at night though! By yourself! Setting the mood is essential. It’s a damned creepy movie and in my top 5.

Ridley, god just thinking about the POV scenes in the movie give me chills!! now i’m totally in the mood to watch it. i think i will! THE CHANGELING was the very first horror movie i ever saw. i was 10 years old and my Dad (god rest his soul) took me to see it. from that day on i was in love with horror movies!

Calavera, i agree 100%. 🙂

Right? That’s one of the scariest scenes ever for me. The scariest part of that scene though for me is when you see the POV of the ghost walking down the stairs towards the group. Remember that?

Looks the the same shit. Sinister just didn’t gel with me. Stupid characters, stupid ghost children, and a horrible monster/villain that looks like the lead singer of some horror punk band.

Zachary, from what i remember (i haven’t watched the movie in a while) the kids weren’t a big part of the first film (they didn’t have much screen time despite the reveal that it was the kids who do the murders w/ assists(?) from the ghost demon thing.

RidleyScott, hell yes!! THE CHANGELING & Carpenter’s THE FOG are my all time favorite horror movies! THE CHANGELING is one of the only and very very few horror movies that actually scare me/creepy the fuck out. the seance scene and the playing back of the audio of that seances (….”JOSEPH…….CARMICHAEL…..”) to this day (whenever i watch the movie) scares me and has me turning on the lights in my apt! lol.

COMPLETELY agree. I think they’re really going to screw this up.

I saw the movie when it was released on DVD. I sort of had to ask myself if it rated R because i remember it being Rated R… just not feeling like one. Most likely they aimed for a PG-13 but couldn’t get one and couldn’t reshoot the movie either so they released it as an R imo.

I am fine with gore but that’s not what i meant. The film was ok but it falls into the same category as every other cash grab PG-13 horror picture. The whole tone of the film is held back because they are trying to get a certain rating. Gore is good when the special effects are good and it adds to the story but i wouldn’t like Sinister anymore If they threw buckets of blood at the screen. I didn’t find the story to be that good or scary and i didn’t like the characters. Obviously because of that it has zero replay value so i am not going to rank the film high or look forward to the sequel.

If you thought for a moment that Sinister needed copious amounts of gore to be a great movie, you’re a fool. That was a brilliant movie showing exactly how horror can be done despite it’s rating and without gore.
