So Stressed out! Best horror film I've seen, in years!

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2011)

Its 2am. I just finished sitting through INSIDIOUS. I watched it with my roommate who promptly stood up at the credits and said, and I quote: "GOOD LUCK SLEEPING DUDE"!! I then turned on half the lights in my apartment, got a cold drink, and I am now sitting in a fully lit bedroom, typing my review. I love scary movies... I love watching them and then being disappointed at their utterly predictable failure. When I saw the poster advert for this movie, I wasn't even interested! The old "possessed kid", or demon child bit has been done to death, especially recently. I didn't even give the trailer a chance. But for whatever reason I just decided to check it out. And from the first 30 seconds of the film, to this exact moment right now, I have an eerie, creepy, wrenching feeling stuck in my gut. I feel like something is over my shoulder, and I am stressed out! I don't want to turn off my lights, or look out my window blinds. I am now afraid to open my bedroom door, after having closed it! (and locked it) My Review: The film is done perfectly. It had a little bit of everything, even a few light moments of humor. But not enough to draw you away from the sinking feeling it gives you. The musical score, sounds more like alarms in your brain telling you to RUN! You don't just hear it, you are bothered by it! The physical settings, were a perfect backdrop with an oldness that in a way became a character in itself! The acting, each character and their roles, and the way they where affected by....by the "main antagonist" as I will put say!!!!!!!!!! uh (shivering) I just need to forget that face, and that sound, those movements, for the rest of my LIFE!!!! My mind is totally playing tricks on me now!!!! But... on another note..... WATCH THIS MOVIE, preferably with BACKUP, and follow it up with a Care Bears and Rainbow Bright Marathon!! Its the only thing that will get you emotionally back into shape, and able to physically, and mentally function afterward! "HOORAY" to the writers, director, and actors who finally for once, assembled such a great horror film. It should be re-released! (golf clap) (Note: there is more film after the credits!!!)
