Wow; If this is scary, the standards are extremely low

Rating: 3/10 (17 July 2011)

I watched this movie with my niece and sister and we were excited to watch it. We are long time horror fans and love scary movies.
Unfortunately it took so long for the movie to start to unfold that we got bored. It didn't take 90 minutes to tell this story and then 10 minutes of semi excitement.
It was also very easy to see what was going to happen. We practically predicted every scene before it happened. It was very predictable.
Every once in a while a loud sound would occur and I guess this was the "scary" parts.
It almost seemed like one of those spoof movies because it took a part of many other recent films and put it all together. Then in the end for the last 10 minutes we laughed and said how will they set this up for a sequel.
I will not see this movie again. It was downright boring at times and the story took forever to tell. You wanted something to happen and it just never did until the end, and even that wasn't exactly life changing.
In todays movie world where horror/scary movies are as rare as it gets, Insidious is just in the long line of flops. The standards are so low. I can't believe any grown person being scared with this movie. There are reasons this never wowed anyone at the box office.
