Sinister is scary. I don’t know. Maybe the timing was right, but I got creeped out. Most of the time I watch horror movies either in my garage bar or in my basement with the lights off. I watched this one in my basement and was pleasantly surprised by how much I was creeped out. My basement is definitely the better option if I want to freak myself out.
Moving into a new house is usually a joyous occasion. That joy quickly vanished when on the second night in her newly built home just outside of Fargo, North Dakota, Lisa noticed something unusual on her baby cam.

"Barrio Tales", like most horror anthologies, includes more humor than horror. I am totally fine with that. Movies like this have a place in the genre because they offer some humor to things that can be terrifying.

Trick 'r Treat Becoming a Halloween Tradition
Watching 'Trick 'r Treat' is for sure becoming an annual viewing for me during the Halloween season. It is a fun and entertaining movie that contains four tales that all intertwine with each other. The tales include a wife and her holiday-obsessed husband, a teenager with a dark secret, a evil teenage prank, and a principal with a disturbing thirst for murder. With a hint of irony that reminds me of an episode of Tales from the Crypt, this is definitely one of my favorites.
