Joaquin M @joaquin_massengill 2h Some things I really did enjoy about this movie were the sound and music, the different scenes, the camera movement, and the way the actors talked and interacted with the environment. The times the music and sound really shine are some of the first scares and scenes where it gets intense and the sound adds that tension. The different scenes and how the family moves houses is really cool. For example, how books fall off the shelf after Rena just puts them up on a shelf or when Josh grabs a pitchfork from the fireplace to defend himself.. The camera movement is also really cool which I feel like adds to the movie making it more immersive. Some of the things I didn't like were the ending and a lot of the jump scares were lacking. Most of the scares aren't "scary" as they're mostly simple and some last a little too long, and are kinda bland. A BIG issue is the ending of the movie. It is super boring and is pretty cliche and pretty typical when it comes to cliffhangers.

The family tries to save him from evil spirits trying to possess his body for sinful things. Insidious is an interesting and enjoyable horror movie with a strong plot and good performances, despite its special effects not being the most realistic.

The cool toned preset throughout the movie gave it an eerie feel, while the wide shots and floaty top views made the viewer watch the family from Dalton’s point of view, specifically when Elise is introduced and observing the situation. The music and sound design is rightfully appreciated, with the main score composed of strings to build anxiety and trepidation in the viewer. The sound effects of the piano keys smashing at jumpscares is creative. The biggest problem lay with the ending and the entity that is haunting Dalton. The design to be subpar and childish and this was not a choice made to reflect Dalton’s age. The mezzanine floor where the demon sharpened its talons while "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" played loudly through the area and Dalton lay chained to the ground floor in a room littered with demonic imagery and children's toys felt like this was the creation of an adult trying to emulate a child.

At first, it seems like a normal haunted house movie, but as it goes on, it becomes something a lot deeper and scarier. The movie came out in 2010, and even though it’s not super new anymore, it still holds up really well. What makes Insidious so effective isn’t just the scary moments, but the way it builds fear slowly and makes you feel uncomfortable the entire time. The story follows the Lambert family, who move into a new house with their three kids. Almost right away, weird things start happening, like strange noises and objects moving by themselves. Soon after, their son Dalton suddenly falls into a coma, and See more SaBrea H @Sabrea122010 1d Insidious the parts that were just amazing. Scare moments when the baby monitor were picking up the haunted voices and the music kept getting more and more scary and loud, when someone that was burned and had a red face popped up in the baby's room then disappeared into thin air. When the little boy starts running around the house but he's just a ghost. The plot twists at the end when Josh finds Dalton's soul in the haunted realm. It was the old woman who haunted Josh when he was younger so in the end the wife finds out Josh isn't Josh. nsidious the parts that were just horrible. The long intro felt like 10 minutes of just scary music and introducing the actors and etc like I felt like that could’ve been a quick ⅔ minutes not 10, when the father found dalton and he ran into like a black abyss and it was just ghost sorounding them so typical I wanted something different I expected something like they get snatched up and brought back to the scary red face monster.

The movie Insidious which was both directed and co-edited by James Wan (Director of MEGAN, The Conjuring, etc) is a good movie. I can back this up with evidence in the later moments of the movie. James Wan has directed a bunch of movies, with his most popular and recognized movie being The Conjuring (2013) with Insidious itself as a runner-up. Insidious was released in the year 2010 (my b-day year hehe) Some things that I didn’t like about the movie are the sound effects. Most times, the sound effects were too dramatic for me. Then, some other times, maybe they wouldn’t be dramatic enough. For example, when the father was telling the spirit to leave him alone, his screams weren’t dramatic enough for me.
