One of the better modern horror films

Rating: 9/10 (23 August 2016)

This is a great film. It is one of the better horror movies of the modern age. And though, technically, it's not the houses that are haunted, this film has all the makings of a good haunted house flick. Before the coma tragedy and the hauntings that follow, the family goes through the normal concerns of adjusting to a new home. Isn't this how many haunted house films begin? Insidious certainly has the haunted house props. The first house has a tall staircase and a spooky attic. The second has a long hallway with a grandfather clock at the hallway's end that sort of stands in an eerie spotlight. There are plenty of places for ghostly beings to hide. Creating such hiding places in suburban homes seems to be one of Director James Wan's specialties. For a more thorough review, check out my wordpress blog. The link is on my profile page.
