Gives hope for horror

Rating: 8/10 (17 April 2011)

This movie has restored my hope in the horror genre. It does just about everything right. One thing that particularly impressed me is the fact that they managed to keep it scary while revealing what was haunting them. This movie mixes both terrifying visuals and a haunting story to create a old-style yet unique horror experience. As for comedy, it does have a little bit at the very right moments to act as comic relief. And one scene is quirky yet unsettling at the same time. Insidious isn't like any other modern horror movie, it take queues from the classics while mixing in a modern feel and is a very good combination of the two. Also, the acting is superb. Watch this movie if you are a fan of horror.
