Insidious: Blu Ray Review
Insidious
Rating: M
Released by Warner Home Video
With a box blaring from the makers of Paranormal Activity and SAW,
you should be able to guess what audience Insidious is aiming
for.
Shortly after moving into a new home, Josh and Renai (Patrick
Wilson and Rose Byrne) find their lives turned upside down when
their son Dalton falls into a coma. Things get worse when Renai
starts seeing horrific visions and ghostly disturbances around the
house - so the pair decide to move home.
Only what's haunting them appears to follow them to their new
place&.
Spooky, creepy and a little unsettling, Insidious starts off very
well - but the second half of the film can't sustain the tension
and unease which has been created at the beginning. And that's
where it's a real shame as all involved do a great job - and it's
genuinely frightening in places with some shocking moments which
will have you grabbing the seat in fear.
Sadly, the premise and the reveal of what's going on just can't be
taken too seriously and so Insidious falls squarely into great
idea, but disappointing territory.
