History[]
Sinister (2012)[]
The story begins with a Super 8 footage where a family of four is standing under a tree with bags on their heads and nuts around their necks. The family is picked up by the neck and strangled until they are dead.
Months later, the authentic crime novelist "Ellison Oswalt" moves into the same house as the murdered family with his wife, Tracy, and his two children, Ashley and Trevor. Ellison uses the murders as the basis for his new book. Supposedly, there were 5 members in the family, and one of the children disappeared after the murders.
Ellison finds a box in the attic, which contains a projector and several reels of Super 8 material. He watches the movies, all the families depicting murdered in various ways, including having their throats cut and being drowned in his pool. The drowned man is especially disturbing to him, as he sees a dark figure with a demonic face - the face that he would later know as Bagul. Seeing this figure, strange things start to happen around the house. Ellison continues to watch the movies, and discovers strange things in them, such as a strange symbol painted near the murders, and the demonic figure, which begins to appear in every movie. He calls a deputy to help him find the location of these murders. After going through the images, the deputy refers him to a religion / worship teacher, Jonas, to decipher the symbol in the movies. Jonas tells Ellison that the symbol itself is that of a dark pagan deity dating back to ancient Babylonian times called Bagul, who was known as the "child eater" (also known as the "child eater "). According to legend, this forgotten god of darkness was believed to consume the souls of human children to sustain his own immortal life force and gain full access to enter and traverse the mortal world. One night, Ellison hears the projector running and goes up to the attic. He finds five children (all of whom disappeared from each family after being killed) watching one of the movies. When Bagul suddenly appears in front of him, Ellison falls from the attic. Having had enough, he burns the projector and film and moves in with his family. Upon returning to his old house, he enters the attic and finds the box containing the projector and film, completely unharmed. However, there is a new item inside: an envelope with "extended endings". Ellison discovers that the missing children would appear on screen after the murders, revealing them to the killers in Bagul's possession, before disappearing.
Jonas tells Ellison that Bagul would supposedly appear in pictures, which acted as portals between his kingdom and the mortal world. The deputy explains to Ellison that he discovered a chain in the murders. Each of the families that were murdered lived in a house where a murder occurred before moving to another house where the next murder would occur, and so on. After learning that Ellison and his family moved away, the deputy tells him that he just continues the chain by moving to another house. Ellison suddenly finds bright green liquid inside his coffee, along with a note from his daughter that says "Goodnight Daddy", and loses consciousness. Upon awakening, he finds himself and his wife bound and gagged. Ashley walks in, possessed by Bagul while carrying an ax and a Super 8 camera. She promises her father that she would make him famous and then documents the horrific deaths of her father, mother, and brother, and paints the walls in their blood, with various childish images. like unicorns, cats and dogs. She then goes to the projector and plays the movie she just made, revealing to the kids in the hall. At the appearance of Bagul, the children flee. Bagul picks up Ashley and enters the movie with her.
The last shot shows the box of film in the attic of the Oswalt house, this time with a new container that says "House Painting 12." Bagul suddenly appears and the screen goes black.
