That's because a lot of the time in other movies, the villains are either regular people or some kind of alien. If most horror movies were accurate, you would actually realize that a regular average Joe of a person would have no chance fighting a supernatural and demonic entity.

I enjoyed the paranormal stuff because in most horror movies, the main character is somehow dealt a winning hand at the beginning but doesn't realize it until the end, whenever in reality they should have no chance against a demon. In Sinister, the odds are stacked against Ethan Hawke from the beginning, and in the end he loses. To me, Sinister really showed me that horror movies just give the win to the main character, and just make the plot seem like a bunch of unnecessary bullshit. I just love how the plot of Sinister gradually arises. It goes from "children killing their families" to "Holy shit it's a demonic motherfucker who makes kids kill their families"

Besides, if it was just about Ethan Hawke finding snuff tapes, then the movie might as well end immediately after the first tape because all he would've had to do is call 911 and it's over.

I liked the end of the movie. It really helped me put into perspective that the main characters of horror movies are just regular people, and would not really stand any real chance against a demon. Especially since the main character is a author, and has no real experience with the supernatural

The creatures still most likely wouldn't allow a bunch of random people in combat gear poke and prod at them.

The creatures are far to smart to be trapped, otherwise I'm sure OP would have had people do it by now.

The most that the military would be able to do is obtain DNA from fecal matter (which we aren't sure if the creatures even defecate yet) and study behavioral patterns

They really wouldn't be able to weaponize the creatures. The creatures are of sentience, so if they are weaponized it's going to be because they chose to be weaponized. In the first upload by OP, she said that Leshy ate a man whole, the military will have a hard time getting a large, sentient, man eating monster to willingly be weaponized. And you also have to take account that the military probably wouldn't weaponize a massive hulking creature that is sentient because of the danger of if it goes MIA or AWOL. Imagine a large hulking sentient Leshy, equiped with missile and Miniguns just absolutely massacring the streets of NYC.

The military is smarter than to let that happen.

Have you ever thought about listing the United States Military in your will and then informing them on the true nature of the woods? I'm sure that your security team is trained well enough, probably ex-blackwater mercs, but I'm sure that trained Military officials with access to heavy weaponry would probably fare better taking care of the woods than whatever team of people you have in charge. I know for a fact that they would do whatever it takes to keep it on hush mode that your woods are infested with cryptids, and I'm also sure that they will assign more than one man per patrol route. Keep in mind that none of this will be coming out of your own pocket, it's going to be all paid for by the government. Not to mention I'm kinda curious to see what would happen if there was some kind of military involvement.
