Review of Insidious (2011) by Lambo442 — 30 Oct 2011
This is a superb horror film and probably my second favourite of all time, The Shining being my favourite. James wan makes films that have familiar elements from the genre but he gives them a unique flavour with the use of harsh, punchy string music to accompany the shocks and some brilliantly imaginative imagery.
the horror in this film is subtle at times and then very intense at others. James Wan is an inspired director that doesn't hold back. You're either gonna accept his vision and feel the terror, or reject it - at which point it becomes comedic, hence some of the low scores.
For me he's a true auteur, up there with Argento. I love old school horror, and this delivers for me.
