It was good, but will be forgotten.

Rating: 7/10 (1 April 2011)

I'm going to go ahead and say that "Insidious" is one of the best PG-13 horror movie of the past twenty years, or at least of the 2000's, only to be beaten out by "Drag Me to Hell."
"Insidious" is really scary. Let me just state that now. It is scary because it takes successful horror movies, what was scary about them, and applies them. I noticed some parts borrowed from "Poltergeist", "Drag Me to Hell", and of course, "Paranormal Activity." All of which were scary on their own by using their own method. Notice how i said "borrowed" and not "stolen." This is only because "Insidious" was not a flop, but rather a hit in the horror industry.
It's true, the first half of the movie is way more scary than the second. Once the actual story starts to unfold, it feels more like a video game. Yes, i know, it is weird to compare a horror movie to a video game, but i felt as though i was in Silent Hill towards the ending. Not that thats a bad thing, but it is honestly how i felt.
All in all "Insidious" is really good, but in the near future i feel it will be forgotten. it doesn't go the extra mile, and isn't an achievement in the horror industry. If you are a horror fan, i suggest seeing it and play a game where you point out what parts are borrowed. If you're not a horror fan, take your girlfriend/ boyfriend to see it, because it is that scary.
