Insidious Is

Rating: 8/10 (18 March 2011)

Insidious is not a new idea of a horror film, but it is a new take on the subject; having a family get caught up in a horrific matter that has a wife (played by Rose Bryne) and her husband's (played by Patrick Wilson) son, who's mind is trapped in an otherworldly place beyond our realm of existence called "The Further". The story is great and the acting was great, no super-cheesy, one-liners or off-the-wall moments; it's just a plain and simple deliverance that achieves build-up scares, emotion, and just an overall spectacle not seen since Steven Spielberg's Poltergeist. Insidious Is a classic not just among horror films, but among the family drama. It shows that parents would do anything to keep their children safe, no matter the cost. Insidious is a theater-worthy film and a must-see. Don't think twice about seeing this movie, even if it's from the makers of Saw and Paranormal Activity, because it is WAY better than both, or if it's PG-13 because it shows the bloody, gory horror films how to make an effective horror without ripping off body parts or dismembering victims. I recommend this movie for all horror fans and for anyone who likes the actors and actresses in the film because the performances in this movie were great!
