One Of The Most Exciting Horror Flms In The Last Decade

Rating: 10/10 (12 September 2013)

I never post reviews on IMDb for movies. If I did I feel I would spend most of my life doing so! But looking at the current movie review when you first jump on the page I completely disagree and I feel another perspective may help people who are considering watching 'Insidious' for the first time.
I have seen just about every horror film you can think of. From mainstream to independent, Asian and European etc. Not a lot scares me other than maybe 'The Strangers' but 'Insidious' is a film with a truly intriguing storyline, excellent acting and genuine scares.
Its not the type of film that relies heavily on death counts or blood and gore but goes right back to how a horror film should be - scary and eerie and should have an unsettling feeling in your stomach days after watching it.
'Insidious' is a ghost story with a twist and defiantly something not yet done in previous horror films. Yes, it does borrow from the likes of films like 'Poltergeist' but does not copy it just borrows certain elements and makes it it's own.
I am not going to give you a run down of scene for scene or any spoilers as I think you would get the gist from the synopsis and I don't want to ruin anything but I will tell you 'Insidious' has a classic horror feeling right from the introduction. The music is so creepy that it makes you feel uncomfortable, the scares are disturbingly eerie and the acting is top notch. This movie is a 10/10 for me nd no matter how many times I watch i I still feel uncomfortable. That's what a true horror film should do. Always stay with you, each and every-time you watch it.
'Insidious: Chapter 2' Comes out This weekend in the USA (I have to wait a bit long as I'm in Perth, Australia) but once you watch 'Insidious' and see how the movie finishes you'll be running to the cinema to see what happens next.
'Insidious' will remain a classic horror film and will not be forgotten in years to come.
