Good traditional horror film

Rating: 8/10 (27 December 2011)

A lot of people get horror DVDs expecting to see blood, and gore and internal organs all around the place.
Insidious isn't like that. It basically just uses more traditional methods like good directing, good editing and good acting to scare the life out of you.
There are elements of it that are reminiscent of the 80s film Poltergeist. But unlike that piece, it won't try to dazzle you with special effects either.
I guess they realise that fear of the unknown is a much more effective motif than anything they can visualise with cgi.
