How to Survive: Sinister (2012)

It's episode 152...and we have found you in a box... True crime writer Ellison Oswalt (yes really) is desperate for another hit, and so takes the rash decision to move his family into a house in which the previous family were brutally murdered. A box of snuff films, missing children and mysterious pagan deitys await the Oswalts in this fascinating, unique story that can only be described as 'a horror movie that came out in the early-to-mid-2010s'. We tackle spirit photography, squirrel eradication and excrutiating excuses; question the financial planning of a destitute man with two mortgages; and wonder at what point a film about children being brutally murdered on camera crosses the line of 'good taste'. Whatever happens, one things for sure: Bad things happen to good people and they still have to have their story told. Another classic film solved by the best movie podcast in the world. Next week it's Peter Jackson's seminal Braindead (1992) Get in touch! [email protected] Follow us on Twitter! @HowToSurvivePod
