The perfect horror flick.

Rating: 9/10 (9 July 2011)

This movie was without a doubt one of the best horror films I have seen this year. When I read that the makers of Saw and Paranormal Activity were releasing this film I wasn't really expecting much as both these movies seemed to lack the main horror elements for me. (Personal opinion of course.) I was not scared by neither Saw or Paranormal Activity, but Insidious created something completely different for me and for most of the other viewers as I have heard. Insidious was a very thrilling film with many scenes that made me jump just a little. As a big horror movie fan I am quick to criticise movies by the way they portray or ghost or a demon as such. In Insidious (if you have seen the movie, don't worry, I am not giving much away), we come in to contact with numerous ghosts and demons from another world which are all different. This brought something new to the table as we are not always seeing the cliché ghost or the cliché demon. The plot in this movie was quite a good one and differentiated from normal haunting stories. The acting was a lot better than I expected it to be also. Towards the end of the film the movie got a little out of hand you could say, but I won't give too much away. The ending was also quite enjoyable and was a rememberable twist, not one to forget straight away.
