Sinister (out May 30) is an effective supernatural thriller about a true-crime writer (Ethan Hawke) who discovers a connection between a series of gruesome murders. You could say the ending is too obvious but for the most part, it kept me on the edge of my seat. Good premise, good leading character. Grade: A-.
