Insidious (I) (2010)
One of those fewest horror movies that actually scare without being gory..
26 September 2011
It has been a long time since I got so scared by watching a movie. This movie does exactly that. Scare the sh*t out of you. And when you least expect it to.

The plot of the movie is about a family which suffers from the ghastly happenings that follow after their eldest son falls into some kind of a coma. How they struggle and how far they go to get him back is what the story is about. The cast was good, the effects were excellent and the direction of James Wan was fabulous. There are a handful of freaky jump scenes, like I said before, when you expect them the least. Well, this you see in many movies.

But what makes this movie different is its atmosphere. The art design was so haunting and bizarre. This movie doesn't make you just scream a few times and leave you. It stays with you. It haunts you. It comes to you before you get fast asleep.

All this it does with a little amount of gore(actually, there's really no gore, when you compare it to other contemporary horror films). This is what makes Insidious a darn good thriller. And there is this climax which is utterly unexpected.

This movie is a must watch for any one who loves a good horror movie. Also, you will know that this movie is successful when you look around and check your surroundings before going to sleep.

And you will.. Trust me.. :D
