Insidious (2011)

Upon my first viewing I was mildly surprised. If you're expecting blood,gore or hard violence don't see this movie because it doesn't include of that, however what it does is mess with your head. The more the movie progresses forward the more conspicuously darker it becomes and the loud,eerie music tone makes it even more suspenseful. Something that caught my eye in particular are the jump scares. They're real. Not once in this movie does everything go silent while the suspense builds up and then it turns out it was just a cat or a broom... Every single jump scare is a proper jump scare. The subtle camera movement (besides the musical score) makes Insidious's creepiness increase tenfold. That is what makes this movie operative without using any violence. As previously mentioned it isn't perfect and that's because of its heavy reliance on sound effects and the musical score. Rose Byrne and Patrick Wilson don't exactly give the most straightforward performances and Wan's sense of direction and Whannell writing makes them look like an inferior early 2000s M. Night Shyamalan. Insidious is not a perfect film but not a lazy one either like a big majority of today's horror.

I admit when the movie started and when i first sawed the old woman in the beginning i thought the movies was going to be dumb but i was totally wrong this movie is scary and has a great backstory. The plot of the movie is very original it is about a little boy who suddenly slipped into a coma but in reality his spirit left his physical body because he traveled too far into a place called the "the further" but at first his parents wasn't aware of this happening. Soon after Dalton slipped into a "coma" strange things started happening around the house. I noticed in this whole movie there wasn't no blood or sex but this movie still ended up on my top favorites. if you love horror movies or even if you don't please check this movie out.

I got to see this movie just recently on BR at a video night with friends. All of them had already seen it but were up to see it again... so i guess for them there was value in a 2nd viewing.Now, the positive - i liked the characters .. even the kids, a rare thing. There was actually good chemistry and a good storyline somewhere... the movie itself felt quite "by the numbers" though. There were jump scares, but not too many or too annoying ones .. little shaky cam and overall a suspenseful atmosphere .. quite appreciated.There is not much i outstanding i can say about this movie, but also nothing dreadful. It was a good time that did not disappoint. But was it scary? .. Maybe i am a bit numb for those horror movies (i am more affected by suspense and "strangeness" than outright scares) .. so no.. it was not scary .. at all. But i do not feel scared by "demons" or "ghosts" at all.I can recommend this movie for a video night as a "filler" .. but not as a main feature.
