Zy S One of the better paranormal horror movies out there. The movie did a good job in establishing the rules and limitations of the demonic entities as well as give solid structure to plot development... which is an area most of these type of movies seem to lack and just make things up as the movie progresses. Consistency was also top notch for a film like this. I think that the director could have done a little better job at making the demons more restricted in their abilities to justify why it took them so long to abduct the souls of their victims (or swap with them?). Overall, I think this movie is a solid case study for how paranormal horror movies should be structured, because you need concrete rules and limitations for demons explained in the movie and consistency with said rules so that the audience can follow along and actually appreciate plot twists or unfolding events. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review alexander m James Wan solidifies himself as a directorial master with insidious, a take on the overdone haunted house/possession movie that goes in a new and interesting direction. Filled with iconic characters and memorable performances and one of the best scares in movie history. Insidious is a must watch Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/25/24 Full Review Josh A Once again, James Wan proves himself to be an absolute legend, for this is just a brilliant movie and a great start to the series. Firstly, the movie's plot sort of reminds me of Coraline and feels Neil Gaiman-esque. Mostly the stuff in the Further, which is my favourite part of the film. It's like Coraline meets Stranger Things. Also, the demon looks like a rip-off Darth Maul, but is absolutely amazing as a villain. The reveal with him in the room playing Tiptoe Through the Tulips is brilliant. The characters are also amazing. They all feel like real people and not just characters to drive the story forward. This makes the ending more dramatic and brilliant, as you can see the differences in Josh's personality when he's possessed. It's just a brilliant "To Be Continued" ending and a great first part to the Lambert trilogy. Overall, great movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/24/24 Full Review Hugh J Insidious makes valiant attempts to place jump scares where they are not expected leading to a couple of good frights, but also implements a few very predictable ones. Despite a familiar storyline and the "evil presence" looking like a hipster demon from a broadway musical, there is enough consistant fear that contributes to it being an overall decent horror movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/07/24 Full Review cinema f “The further you travel, the darker it gets.” I loved it. It was thrilling and full of scares. Wilson and Byrne were amazing. Ty Simpkins and Garrett Ryan were great. Loved Lin Shaye. 5/5 stars.
