UK horror fans could do worse to note that fright flick Sinister is heading your way next month. The film is by the producers of “Insidious” and “Paranormal Activity” (a couple on the somewhat better horror films the come out of Hollywood in the last couple of years) and stars Ethan Hawke, Wincent D’Onofrio, James Ransome and Juliet Rylance. Good production, a good cast...could this be a good American horror movie on the way!? Here’s hoping.

As is often the case these days, the newly released UK trailer gives far too much away, so avoid if you don’t like spoilers. Sinister opens in the UK, Oct 5.

Synopsis: Desperately in need of a best seller to revive his struggling career, true crime writer Ellison, moves his family to the scene of his most recent story; the unsolved, gruesome murder of a loving, happy suburban family. Shunned by the local community and strained by his obligations to his family, the discovery of a batch of home movies in the attic offers Ellison shocking proof to the crime he is investigating. Ellison notices the same unidentified figure appearing in each of the 8mm films, leaving him convinced that all the incidents are linked by a truly bizarre connection. As his investigations uncover the terrifying truth he starts to lose his grip on reality and it soon becomes clear that he is placing his own family in harm’s way.
