Cheap, cheesy, disappointing.

Rating: 3/10 (24 May 2011)

Insidious could have been a great horror film. Everything happens very well in the movie from the beginning to its half. The main character doesn't take long to realize that her house is haunted, her husband tries not to believe it although he knows that something wrong is happening. Very obvious things happen, but are treated as "obvious" and not always as a "cliché" and that was interesting because the characters discover what is happening and do what must be done to find solutions instead of dying one by one or keep the whole movie discussing with the Catholic Church. But when complex explanations start to appear justifying the mysteries, all the good qualities expressed earlier in the movie are brought to the drain. The film then turns into a B horror movie with infant arguments for a subject that could have been very interesting if well developed. The makeup is more laughable than frightening. If fresh makeup was supposed to be frighting, for sure Insidious would be a blast! I was very curious about this movie, it took a lot of my attention in the beginning but in the end I was regretting seen it because its disappointing.
