My interpretation of "Sinister" 2012 (spoilers included)
Sinister is a very dark, twisted, and at times unpredictable horror film. Almost every scene makes you feel apart of the movie. From the very beginning, we see there is already a problem with the house itself. Ellison Oswalt's 7-year old daughter Ashley says she dislikes the house and Ellison makes a deal with her - if he dislikes the house, they would move back to their old house. This is a foreshadowing of what would happen later. 
Ellison Oswalt is hellbent on solving the mysterious murder cases of a suspected serial killer throughout the film but what begins as a pursuit of justice turns into an unhealthy obsession. His book on crime was a side project.If you take notice, he becomes distant from his family and preoccupied with his police work. He becomes less concerned about his family's safety and wellbeing. It was until he and his wife hit a breaking point where his wife made him refocus his attention on his family vs. his book.
His daughter and son show signs of Bagul or the villain of the film but Ellison Oswalt is too blind to realize it. Ellison Oswalt constantly tries to find clues as to who the suspect could be. Little does he know that Bugal had already influenced his children.
At the film's ending, we realize that his daughter Ashley already succumbed to Bagul's influence leading to the whole family's death. Bagul was looking for the perfect candidate to be his ideal daughter. Ashley unlike the other children was such a grand artist and connected well with Bagul. The morale of the story is that when parents fail to spend time with their children, there will always be a malevolent entity who will. Ellison Oswalt realizes too late that his self-centered obsession with fame consumed him and his fate was sealed when Ashley said "Don't worry daddy, i'll make you famous.."I highly recommend you buy this movie on DVD! How would you benefit from buying this DVD?
DVDs are cheaper than streaming - Streaming sites are a waste of money. When you compare the time you're not using your monthly subscription to the time you are, you'll see you're not getting your money's worth. It's worse if your internet is poor to where your movies buffer. You're wasting money paying monthly fees. If you pay more for better internet, that's even worse. With DVDs, you only make one-time buys which save you a ton of money long-term.
DVDs have tangible ownership, streams don't - When you buy DVDs, you technically own them. With streams, you only pay for permission to watch them. If a company no longer wants to have its content in say Netflix's library, the company can request Netflix to remove it. You won't be able to stream it anymore. If a company stops selling a movie on DVD, that's the worst thing they can do. The company won't bother to confiscate your DVD.
DVDs have exclusive content, streams don't - DVDs (namely special editions) have much more content than streaming services such as extended editions, unrated editions, deleted scenes, interviews, "making of" documentaries, etc. Movie streams don't. Typically, streaming services play only standard editions of movies.
You can resell DVDs but not streams - You can resell DVDs since you have tangible ownership of them. With streams, you don't own them so you can't. Once again, you save a ton more money buying DVDs than streaming.
DVDs have better quality than streams - Quality is determined by bitrate. Higher bitrate means higher quality video and audio. Quality can also be affected by codec encoding and compression techniques. Regular DVDs run at 6-8 megabits per second. Streams usually play movies at lower rates. Netflix for example plays movies at around 5 megabits with a standard connection.
DVDs don't require Internet, streams do - If your internet connection or streaming service fails, you won't be able to finish watching your favorite movies and shows. Nothing is worse than watching one of the most critical and intense scenes in a movie only to be interrupted by say internet lag. It ruins the viewing experience. With DVDs, you don't have those problems.
DVDs look fantastic on display! - DVDs will make your room look much more alive with its stunning physical artwork! There's nothing like holding a DVD of your favorite film in your hands! With streaming, everything belongs to the streaming service. It can feel like you're just renting your favorite films.
