Decent, but Wan is capable of better

Rating: 6/10 (12 June 2017)

I'm a big fan of horror director James Wan, but this is the first time I've watched one of his movies and felt underwhelmed. The 'Saw' franchise were much more complete horror movies and 'The Conjuring' remains one of the creepiest, most disturbing films I've ever watched.
'Insidious' is still quite scary, but unlike Wan's other films, it didn't have much of an effect on me. Maybe it's because the plot didn't feel believable, or that it relied a little too much on jump scares towards the end. Whatever it was, I just didn't enjoy 'Insidious' as much as I was expecting. There's nothing wrong with it, it just didn't 'wow' me like Wan's other films.
