Review 08 - Insidious

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2018)

Insidious is about a normal family that have just moved into a new area. A few weeks later tragedy arises beyond the family as Reenae and Josh's son Dalton falls off a ladder; ending up in a coma. Since that incident, the family have been experiencing horrific and terrifying monsters, aiming to cause pain on the family. After hiring a group of professionals, we actually find out that Dalton was never been in a coma. His physical body has remained on Earth, but his mental body has been taken over by the monsters, and it trapped in a place known as the "Further". We also find out that Josh has also been in the same situation, as he has been dreaming of a creepy woman dressed in black.
This movie is scary. I need to point that out now. The director has done an amazing job on making this movie terrifying. I struggled to go around my own home at night with the thoughts of the monsters in my mind! The music and the jump scares are also fantastic.
All of the actors do a fantastic job of portraying their characters. But the star of the film for me is Lin Shaye. Her character is by far the most likeable throughout the whole movie. But everyone does a great job!
This movie is one of my favourite horrors of all time. Its the only one i have seen in the series so i can't wait to review the next 3. I recommend this movie to all horror fans, as you will be creeped out!
