Underrated horror film

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2013)

This film really surprised me back in 2010. Even the opening title of the movie with its sheer, violin sound effect gave me the impression that I was in for a good horror film.
The only problem I have with this film is its catchphrase of "It's not the house that's haunted, It's your son." Insidious is so much more than what that phrase offers.
I attended the film with a date and we both left the theater with chills and a slight uneasy feeling from what we saw. And what's best about it is that there's no gore, no foolish teenagers running away from the "bad guy", and very little fake scares. When a chilling moment in the film happens, it happens in full force. I refuse to give spoilers, but just trust the fact that this film was made with $1.5 million dollars, and made $100 million in the box office.
It's a genuine horror film with an unfortunate catchphrase. That's what Insidious is.
