Scarier than The Ring, The Exorcist, Poltergeist and Paranormal Activity.

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2011)

What else can I say. At 51 there's not much that scares me in the way of movies since I've seen about every scary movie that's been made, but "Insidious" raised the bar and did it with a lot of heart.
I can always be reassured of the entertainment value in a movie based on the caliber of actors who choose to be in that movie, and since Barbara Hershey signed on I knew I was in for something with depth and meaning as well as a unique way to tell a ghost story which this movie is and much more.
It's how I chose "The Black Swan" another of Barbara Hershey's which I also thoroughly enjoyed. Smart actors like Barbara and Robert Duvall, Gene Hackman and others of the same caliber have never disappointed me in the movies they've chosen throughout the years they've been around.
Let me just say this movie's portrayal of the paranormal is so uniquely creepy, tense and realistic in ambiance, timing and photography that it's a big notch above Paranormal Activity. I constantly got chills over my entire body literally with how its presented. And the plot is so unique with a great surprise ending.
