Review of Insidious (2011) by Vern — 01 Apr 2011

This is a scary movie that actually gets the job done, and does it well. It seems that most horror movies today can't do that. When plot, time consistency (and in some points, the acting) are concerned, this is not a great movie by any means.

But this movie does provide plenty of genuine scares and chills for the viewer. There is also sustained tension, an ominous tone, and some very haunting images throughout it's running time. This film gets an 8 for truly scaring me (and I normally don't get scared at many movies).

If you are willing to suspend your disbelief for an hour and a half, you will have a very good time with Insidious.
