Vue Cinema in Leicester Square hosted a Sinister Experiment


13 September 2012

Last night the Vue Cinema in London's Leicester Square played host to an audience of 400 nervous film fans who braved the chance to experience the terror of a screening of Sinister under unusual circumstances.

This was no normal night at the cinema - five members of the audience were hooked up to a series of sensors by Professor Brendan Walker of the Thrill Laboratory to measure every sign of fear they'd experience and the whole auditorium was filmed throughout.

The results will be revealed soon but for now enjoy some pictures of the victims of ‘Sinister’ - a film one described as "One of the most memorable horror films of the year.” (Dread Central)

About Sinister
Desperately in need of a best seller to revive his struggling career, true crime writer Ellison (Ethan Hawke), 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.
