***Hands down best.. scares me, the un-scareable

Rating: 9/10 (26 January 2013)

Do not expect gore, gimmicks, and other things their previous films had. This is new. This is what horror is all about.
I am a scare lover, and i suppose over this course I have become desensitized; nothing scares me hardly. But this did. For most people I talked to, this movie stuck with us, the unsettling feeling. Even going to see it multiple times, knowing what was going to happen, it was terrifying.
See, true horror is an art; it relies on subconscious cues and perfect timing. Most 'scary' movies basically announce scares with cues that we all have come to pick up on, (music, silence, camera angles). We hold our breath in preparation and are not scared. Insidious never lets you be ready for anything. The combination of an AMAZINGLY disturbing soundtrack and never really having 'safe scenes' sits you on your utmost edge of discomfort and stress, creating true terror. The timing is so that your brain, after years of 'scary movie' training, subconsciously guesses wrong when and what will happen. This makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
I will say you must go into the movie wanting a journey, an experience, and a desire to be scared to enjoy it. Don't be a critic, just enjoy it. Watch this if you want a new experience, a different take on terror, not blood. It is a work of art and A lot of fun!
