    I was shock throughout watching the movie. I did not know what to expect from watching this movie, but I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. This was a scary movie because it showed the social construct in society, how wealthy people get what they want while others get hurt in the process. The movie is about a successful, talented black photographer name Chris.…

    Brie Larson, who already had impressed me in “Short Term 12”, gives a spectacular performance, together with the young Jacob Tremblay, in the suspenseful drama “Room”, directed by Lenny Abrahamson (“Frank”) from a screenplay by Emma Donoghue based on her own 2010 international best-seller novel of the same name. The story follows a protective, caring mother, Joy (Larson), and her sensitive five-year-old son, Jack (Tremblay), whose lives are limited to a small space that they call room. The room is actually a shed, placed in a desolated backyard and well protected with a code lock system, which is owned by a man known as Red Nick who seven years before had abducted Joy, confining her to a life of forced imprisonment. So, it’s easy to conclude that Jack is…

Unfortunately, Scott Derrickson’s Sinister is more of a mess than it is a pearl.

It follows some of the genre conventions like the plot and setting but it truly makes its mark as a film with the way it is different from anything that has ever been put on screen before. Martin Scorsese’s innovation in the way he makes the actors behave in certain ways or uses the silence to add a dramatic effect shows that by not following genre conventions you can still end up making a film that is a commercial…
