One of the scariest movies I've seen, that also has a brilliant plot

Rating: 9/10 (28 December 2016)

I decided to watch Insidious, since I was blown away by James Wan's other series, 'The Conjuring.' The Conjuring was one of the best movies I've seen, so I thought I'd watch James Wan's earlier movies. I had heard about Insidious a very long time ago, but I never thought I should watch it, until recently. I was very surprised by how good Insidious was. I was expecting a creepy-ish movie revolving around in-house hauntings, but it was much more than that. Insidious had an amazing plot, and was also much more frightening then I expected. The movie revolves around the idea of astral-projection, an out-of-body experience that makes you feel like your physical conscience is disconnected from your body. (Some real mountaineers who hike through low-gravity zones describe this.) The movie displays a boy who can do this at will while sleeping. Although something about this ability ends up bringing a lot of fright to him and his family. I found the movie very exciting and suspenseful, while also being interesting & enjoyable. There were a few jump-scares that made me jump, and the movie as a whole was quite scary. There were some extremely creepy moments that I still vividly remember. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes horror movies. My final rating is 9/10.
