Sinister

Saw Sinister from under a protective cloak of alcohol. It was okay and I had been told (and enjoyed spotting) the references to The Shining. A lot of annoying jumps, but the movie had the courtesy to loudly telegraph when the jump was about to happen. There is an interesting attempt at meta-horror (ala The Ring) which feels a little tacked on and silly and anyway only leads to one last jump. One early scene with a boy in a box I really dug (you can pretty much see it in the trailer.) All else: it was a movie.
