Review of Insidious (2011) by Yourthoughts — 16 May 2011

Insidious is a great film to see in the cinema, the atmosphere some scenes create keep you soo far on the edge of your seat that your practically sat on the person in fronts head!!! Saying this, I don't think the film will have the same effect when released on dvd.

I am only rating the film with a 7 as I am a huge fan of both Paranormal Activity's and Saw movies. But I found that the main let down of Insidious was how far it strayed from both Paranormal Activity and Saw, the fact that it was filmed with crystal clear cameras and a lot of CGI, makes the fear we had from Paranormal Activity's CCTV footage and believable ghostly antics (paranormal activity) fade away.

All in all the storyline started off well and then takes an outstanding DROP to a point where you think..... I actually think a 5 year old would have thought up a better ending!! (Soo predictable, everyone I know who has seen it said they knew the ending before it happened and so did I) Overall I think it is worth seeing if your in to your horror movies, but do not see it if you want something similar to Saw or Paranormal Activity, whatever you do, do not wait until the DVD is released as the cinema makes the scenes a hundred times better.
