No Night Terrors

Rating: 4/10 (2 April 2011)

There was a review on Friday from a 13-year-old who saw the movie with his mother. The kid was spot on with his review regarding the music. The music was great for this movie. It reminded me of the old-days Vincent Price movies. The opening credits were attention-getting. After that, the movie fell into sleep-mode. The kid did mention that to him the movie was scary-creepy, but for adults, it might be just scary. I thought I would give it a try, expecting to see a good movie. I would say that if you liked Paranormal Activity I/II and from years back the Blair Witch Project, then you would like this movie. Had I known it was made by the same folks from Paranormal Activity, I would have stayed home and saved my money. The movie is so slow to start. The story line was oh, so predictable. If you watch movies of this genre and have done so for decades, then you can pick up on the story line in a heart beat. The ghouls were not scary. Reading that the movie was made on $800k explains a lot about the cheap look to it. - Just like the Paranormal movies. Why did I bother to even see those movies? I thought the first one was fact-based. My nieces talked me in to seeing the second one. And they were bored. Back to Insidious, I could hear restless movement in the movie theatre. People were bored. Only a few jumped here or there. If you're scared easily, this is the movie for you. If you like something that's fresh, moves at a good clip and keeps your mind active, this isn't the movie for you.
