Insidious (2011)

Excellent but underrated film

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

To be honest, this might be worst James Wan movie I've seen so far. He plays like always with the clichés, but in this one they are boring. I was bored. Its possible I just miss Farmiga.It picks up once they finally accept to go to rescue their son. And then it picks up again with the final twist, which I didn't see coming.But overall was mediocre, and that surprise made it just fine.

This represent my opinion.For all movies I rate I mean the following:10= exellent movie 8= good movie but less than exellent5= you will not regret watching.2= wasting time

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.

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. Insidious 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.
