It was a joke, right?

Rating: Null/10 (23 July 2011)

I watched Insidious a couple nights ago with a friend of mine. We watched it in a dark room at night to make the experience more intense. I'll just cut to the chase - it wasn't scary. I found myself laughing a lot of the time instead of curling up closer to my friend and screaming. The atmosphere of the movie was just okay - it wasn't scary, it wasn't ridiculous. The majority monsters had a good design, but most of the "scares" in the movie were just cheap things jumping out. The music of the movie was more annoying than scary. The ending was surprising, but not scary. It left me more curious than afraid. This movie scared my friend, but left me extremely disappointed.
