Season 3 of Horror Cinema Obsession kicks off with Sinister (2012)—a film about a true-crime writer who moves his family into a murder house and somehow thinks, “Yeah, this’ll be fine.” Spoiler: it’s not.
We dive into the cursed world of Super 8 snuff films, attic demons, and Bagul—the ancient soul-sucker with a passion for home movie editing. Think of him as the creepiest guy in the PTA with Final Cut Pro.
We break down the film’s biggest moments, explore whether it really is the scariest movie of the 2010s, and play Folklore or Fakelore, where some of the fake demons might be less disturbing than Bagul himself.
Is this movie still nightmare fuel? Or just one man’s descent into whiskey-fueled career panic? Tune in, close your attic door, and join us as we relive the film that made lawnmowers terrifying again.
