Sinister is a supernatural horror movie that follows Ellison Oswalt, a true crime author who believes moving his entire family into a home where an infamous murder happened will inspire his next novel. In the home, Ellison finds a box of super 8 reels, each one depicting a violent murder performed by the cameraman. However, upon closer inspection, each film has a looming figure somewhere in the background. This unknown entity is later revealed to be Bagul, a pagan deity that feasts on the souls of children. While Bagul isn't exactly from any specific folklore tale, this creature does share a lot of similarities with the Boogeyman, an infamous child-eating monster that many kids are familiar with and fear.
