Not scary at all, very tedious

Rating: Null/10 (3 October 2011)

I just saw Insidious. I'd have to say more like ludicrous. I could not believe how bad this movie was, since I liked Wan's saw and dead silence more or less. This movie has nothing to do with those. This is really slow with stale acting that left me wondering how you could believe in any characters at all. There was not one moment when I was scared. I just can't believe anybody would find it scary, besides maybe a 2 year old. Every scene, including the medium and "the Further" world, is something we've seen in other films, and done a million times better. It's just a bad uninspired rehash of every horror cliché of the past 20 years. I thought Paranormal activity was terrible, but it's starting to look better after watching this. I had big expectations but this thing really tried my patience. You could figure the whole film out after 20 minutes, but it plods along showing the obvious. Not recommended.
