Pure arrogance and I loved every single second of it.

Rating: 7/10 (2 April 2014)

Insidious is not an original movie, nor is it groundbreaking. So why in the world did I find this movie so riveting and terrifying? The directing in this movie is fantastically chilling. James Wan masterfully builds tension and earns his scares. From the main title of this movie I was tense and felt something wicked on its way. This film made me feel like there was an evil presence staring me in the face which no other movie has made me feel. Every environment I found the characters in had a life of its own, each one more evil than the last. I felt as if I were walking on thin ice and every scare was a heavier and heavier step. I call this movie arrogant because it does not respect it's audience. It takes everything you have ever felt when watching a horror movie and uses it against you to catch you off guard. An incredibly disturbing journey Insidious manipulates your anxiety at will and definitely sticks its audience.
