INSIDIOUS - It wasn't scary... it was TERRIFYING.

Rating: Null/10 (3 October 2011)

I never really wanted to buy the DVD. I was looking for "The Expendables" but the video store had none, so I bought a DVD of "Insidious". Due to the disappointment I experienced, I readied myself for an extremely cheesy "horror" film. (Although my friend said this was very scary, I dismissed that thought for a while.) Well, what do you know? This movie is not scary.
IT IS TERRIFYING!
To be extremely honest, I can't remember the last time I watched a movie and felt so horrified. Think "Paranormal Activity" and you'd expect jump scares. This movie thinks disturbing (super-disturbing) images. Think "Saw" and you'd expect even at least one gore scene. There wasn't any. This movie thinks of turning the otherwise mundane Lambert family's life into a shock fest chock-full of spooky guitar strings and smiling corpses. And don't think you'll be limited to a single apparition. This movie thinks A WHOLE DIMENSION of lost souls craving for life. Add a very disturbing demon and you're more than sold! The plot is unique. (To me, at least. I don't know how many movies have this plot, if there are any.)And the ending was a total shock that, when I thought I saw what was coming, the movie twists the whole thing around and makes you re-think what the hell just happened.
"INSIDIOUS". This wasn't a movie. This was a masterpiece in horror. Promise, every second is a delightfully terrifying treat!
10/10 (I would have put 11/10, but the system won't let me.)
