INSIDIOUS – CATCH IT ( A ) Ever since I saw first trailer of Insidious, I knew there was something special about it. Then after its release slowly and gradually it got the critical acclaim and became one of the most successful movies of the year. Insidious cost on $1.5 million and it has so far earned over $76 million, which is a great achievement. Finally, I got the chance to watch Insidious all alone in a dark room. Wow, it literally scared the sh*t out of me, there were moments where I was holding my heart just so I can pass through those scary moments. The best thing about Insidious is it deals with a new supernatural element "Astral Travelers", which rarely we see in supernatural/horror movies. The director made a great choice to cast Patrick Wilson & Rose Byrne as grieving parents whose son falls into Astral Projection state. Both Wilson and Byrne are famous in indie circle but not on the international level, which makes us really easy to relate to them. Plus both have proved their talent in various movies. Ty Simpkins as Dolton was adorable and impressive, after his innocent face on the poster sold out the movie perfectly. Besides the lead stars, the supporting cast Barbara Hershey, Lin Shaye, Angus Sampson and Leigh Whannell did an amazing job. In Insidious lots of contribution goes to make-up artist & set designer who created the horror with minimal special effects. Brilliant! Overall, to have complete horror experience must watch it alone in a dark room; it'll scare the hell out of you.
