James Wan is the Messiah of the horror movie genre

Rating: 10/10 (23 April 2015)

Over the past few years we've had some terrible horror movies. Drag Me To Hell, Forget Me Not, Human Centipede and The Devil's Chair were all absolutely terrible- I don't know why Drag Me To Hell got such rave reviews. Horror isn't what it used to be. It is a dying, if not already dead, genre which relies on gore more than scares. James Wan's movies however, are different- they rely on genuine scares. Insidious, along with The Conjuring, is actually the scariest film I have ever seen in years. From the brilliant soundtrack, which is actually the best horror movie soundtrack I've ever heard, to the actual suspense itself, this is what makes Insidious so scary. The special effects are kept to a minimum, and the terror builds and builds, making the movie more and more scary. The acting is brilliant as well. I have taken a liking to James Wan's movies, and am definitely looking forward to the next one!
