In the chilling 2012 horror film Sinister, we follow the desperate journey of Ellison Oswald, a true-crime writer portrayed by Ethan Hawke, who is grappling with a decade-long dry spell in his career. Eager to reclaim his former glory, Ellison uncovers a gruesome snuff film linked to the brutal murders of a family in their new home. Driven by obsession, he moves his wife and children into the very house where the tragedy occurred, hoping to unearth secrets that will lead to his next bestseller. However, as he digs deeper into the eerie history, he soon realizes that the malevolent force behind the killings may not be content to stay in the past.
