    Surprisingly Good and Intense
    The film Insidious has done something many horror movies have failed to do recently, and that is to be scary.

    Insidious has a lot of really intense moments that scare, and then grab hold of you. Its not entirely made up of "make you jump" scenes, which it does have, but scenes with genuine horror.

    Insidious has taken a risk with doing something original, and It works here for them. Without giving anything away the movie does not just talk about whats scary, or show the the aftermath of something going on in a room that you can only hear until its over and the door magically unlocks. Insidious shows you whats scary, and quite often reminds you whats there, and waiting in the dark.

    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?
