Watch and Weep

Rating: 8/10 (10 October 2013)

Most horror movies ease you into the various degrees of the fear factor. Insidious skips the series of subtle, scary foreshadowing and dives deep into horrifying scene sequences. There are too many lame films in this genre that can make a viewer become immune to scenes that have others screaming like children. This movie will pierce through that immunity and have you freaked out and jumping out of your seat.
What makes the final third of the film bad? It's the transition from a feeling of paranormal, possession-level fear to a fun house-type creepiness, which fails to deliver. Unfortunately, the conclusion of the movie can leave the viewer feeling disappointed.
Is it worth watching? Absolutely. The beginning is so superb that it makes up for the ending and won't be a waste of time.
