Insidious
The reason homeowners prefer that the "bump in the night" be a desperate drug addict, opposed to a ghost, is because junkies have organs that can be sold to pay mortgages.
And while the family in this horror movie isn't trading on the black market, they'd give anything for a tangible home-invader.
Plagued by spirits since moving into their new home, Renai (Rose Byrne) and Josh (Patrick Wilson) live in fear.
One day, their son (Ty Simpkins) falls into a coma. On the advice of Josh's mother (Barbara Hershey) they call in an expert (Lin Shaye), who tells them their son's astral body is being held captive by a demon wishing to possess his physical body.
Drenched in eldritch ambiance and imbued with nightmarish imagery, this macabre tale is a triumph of terror.
Fortunately, if things do go awry, there is a cure for demonically possessed children – it's called Ritalin. (Green Light)
