    A Horror Movie for the Ages
    While not a perfect horror flick, Insidious is certainly one of the best of its kind in many a year. Not since Drag Me to Hell have I enjoyed myself so much watching a scare flick. While the formula is a redux of many a ghost story and heavily reminiscent of Poltergeist, the movie still feels fresh and original.

    The scares in both the cheap and unique variety and it is all in good fun. Gore is definitely underplayed and the visuals and atmosphere are what yank you in and nail your eyes to the screen.

    Hopefully, the team holds this high standard in what is sure to be a new franchise from the Saw crew (overdone as those movies have become). They certainly have me locked in for Insidious II.

    FAQ7

    • I have heard rumors there is an unrated (NR) release of this film, released in some country. Any truth to this? And if so, what are the differences?
    • Who were the family members seen as dead (whistling dad, mother and ironing woman, shot by a younger woman, presumably the daughter)? Were they a family murdered in the first house?
    • What is "Insidious" about?
