Storyline

Times are tough for talented, twenty-one year old filmmaker, Donny Rocconi. He grew up in New York City, a place where either you learn fast, or lose everything. Estranged from his mother, and never knowing his dead father, Donny sets out to collect on debts owed, and is dragged deep into a seductive ambush that turns his world upside down. Donny reaches out for help from a "connected" Mulberry Street café owner, Gigetto, who has more problems than just the Russian mob. Insidious is a compelling and riveting story of desperation and betrayal, as Donny faces a fight for truth, love, and life itself. Insidious has a strong ensemble of New York City acting talent, and their multiple adult story lines are centered in their emotional and financial relationships.

User Reviews

This flick has a style of its own

Finally caught this flick, and the arrogant a-hole critics missed it by a mile. This is a low budget independent film, not a $100 million dollar tent-pole movie that's been made a dozen times before. That kid, James Schram as 'Donny' was good, with a great look, energy and authenticity. There are so many things I liked about this film: the music, the treasure chest of characters and fresh faces, each scene like a short movie in it self, the transition shots, and the fact that I wanted more at the end. The writer director hit upon something; a gritty down and dirty story of New York City with a style of its own that deserves an encore. What a great idea for a future pay cable series.
