Lots of 70s haunted house movies were watched before Insidious went into production, it seems.
They have three children and have just moved into a large old house.
Things are going great, except for a few little problems.
As if that wasnt bad enough, Renai keeps seeing demons and ghosts in their house.
And I thought termites were the worst thing you could find in a house you just bought!
Theres a little issue with their son, Dalton.
Will the Lamberts save their son from the lipstick-faced demon (Joseph Bishara)?
The tension built up in the opening forty-five minutes is very thick, and the scares are varied.
moments throughout the films opening half.
Ms. Shaye is one of the better performers in a movie thats actually full of surprising people.
It feels strange to say it, but I quite enjoyedInsidious.
As a haunted house movie, it was a pretty good one.
As a supernatural horror, it was less successful, but still quite a bit of fun.
Wan and Whannell were very important in launching the torture porn genre.
It remains to be seen if they can give the same boost to the haunted house genre.
