Sinister - Official Trailer [HD]

The title of this movie could suggest that it is a horror film. The word Sinister suggests that something evil or harmful is or will happen.

From watching this trailer I can decipher that the film is loosely based around a man discovering old films recorded by the previous family that lived in his hosue and he suspects that they were serial murderers. He also discovers that there is a pattern with all the killings, as a symbol is discovered which later on we find out that it is a satanic symbol. However, he then finds out that it was a some srt of ghost or soul that adbucts kids. He is informed that once a kid sees the ghost they would be abducted, too. The man tries everything to save his kid and he attempts to leave the house but isit too late?

The film has a lot of conventions of horror such as use of shadows, minimal light, a lot of digetic and non digetic sound which creates a scary atmosphere for the viewers.
