My Attention. This has it.
Click to viewI'll tell you all right now, I love horror movies. I love them even despite the fact that very few of them are that "scary" any more. They still do a good job at startling you with loud noises, but few of them actually make me walk away feeling really shook up. Notable exceptions (in my honest opinion, I know most of you will groan and roll your eyes at these) are the Ringu movies (both the original Asian and Hollywood remake) as well as the Paranormal Activity movies. Anyone who has read my LJ posts in the past (I think there are maybe, what, two of you?) knows what I think of the PA movies.
Well, the producers of the PA movies have a hand in this new offering "Sinister" too, and I'll be totally honest... it looks promising. See I kind of dig ghost stories that have a technology spin to them. The PA movies had the whole recorded footage angle that put the audience behind the eyes of objective security cameras as opposed to actual film cameras, and the Ringu movies used video formats as portals for the baddies to get at us. This seems to be doing the same thing, so yeah. Sign me up!
