half and half

Rating: 5/10 (13 July 2011)

Insidious begins with the Lamberts(Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne) moving into a new home that is as haunted as the Belasco house. As all hell breaks loose their son (Ty Simpkins) falls into an unexplainable coma. Ghostly things continue to happen so the family pulls up stakes and moves into another home, but the evil follows them.
With the aid of a psychic(Lin Shaye) the Lamberts learn that their son's astral body is trapped in a place called "The Further"by a lip stick faced demon.There is a séance with a gas mask no less. It's downhill from there.
Insidious has a few jump scenes but fails to scare. The confrontation with the demon is a let down as the demon appears as ultimately powerless.
The biggest scare was remembering Tiny Tim singing Tip Toe Through the Tulips on Laff-in.
