Review of Insidious (2011) by Dylan D — 08 Sep 2013

Insidious is an excellent Horror movie that shouldn't be so good. All signs point towards something far more unoriginal, mundane, and not at all frightening, but Director James Wan and Writer Leigh Whannell have defied expectations and crafted an involved, engaging, and daresay even fun little Chiller that plays around with genre cliché but escapes the deadly trap of failing to build story and characters to go alongside the here effective and bone-chilling jump scares.

This is one solid movie from top to bottom, one of the absolute best in its sub-category considering the harmony through which every element effectively coexists.
