Insidious

Has anyone seen this movie? I thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty scary for the most part (granted I don't watch that many horror films), the directing was great, and the story was pretty interesting. What did you guys think of it?

I really did like this movie, as a hardcore horror fan. The first hour is especially scary.

Seriously. That weird, disfigured kid dancing in the kitchen and all the other creepy and unexplained occurences.

scariest movie i've ever seen, didn't like the ending though, seems like horror movies are always ending like that.. but great movie, if your into horror movies go check it out. if your brave watch it in the dark

I really loved Insidious. It had a lot of good scares and the characters weren't that bad. I also thoroughly appreciated the soundtrack; reminded me of Evil Dead. :)

Although, the antagonist was... somewhat strange?

Also, I liked the ending. I like to see movies that stray from a happy ending, when done right.

I thourghly enjoyed it. I hate the ending though, hoping for a sequel with more closure. (with the money it made and gennerally good reviews, I wouldnt be surprised.)

I actually liekd the ending, as it wasn't what I expected at all. I can see why some people didn't like it though. Darth Maul's role was pretty funny too, especially the first time you see him.

Well I guess I'll have to be that guy: I hated it. I didn't think the parents were believable, and the ending was just another cliché (the old woman was pretty darn creepy though). I did like the look of the demon in "shadow mode" though, reminds me of something I thought I saw when I was little

Yeah, I thought Patrick Wilson's acting was a bit "iffy" at parts.

I've heard good things about this movie, but I unsure of whether to get it or not because most horror movies I watch suck.PernicioEnigma

I had no interest in it, but it seems pretty favorable so I might have to watch it now.

Am I the only one who thinks it was a Poltergeist rip-off? -Tish-

No, you are not. The two other people I watched it with thought the same thing. However, from what I remember, wasn't the other "world" in the Poltergeist never explored? I thought all they did was tie a rope around the mother and she dove in and grabbed the daughter.

It was okay; didn't really scare me. It may have been overhyped for me though.

Edit: I'm sorry, typos! D:

I wouldn't really know. I walked out of Poltergeist in the middle... :?

I watched it the other day and I thought it was pretty good, but I was somewhat disappointed with the ending.

I watched it the other night wearing headphones and it definitely creeped me out.

This scene especially...

:shock:

I liked it. And thiscreeped me out.

Meh. I actually laughed at the part where they show [spoiler] the demon sharpening his claws or whatever on the grinder. The whole scene was just so comical. [/spoiler]

Never a good sign for a "scary" movie.

^^^

I felt the same way...it kind of humanized the demon, and the movie wasn't scary from that point on

My honest opinion? Not scary whatsoever. Creepy maybe every now and then, but it's not scary. Then again, I don't really get scared.

Another movie which I found overhyped was Paranormal Activity. Did Americans really find that scary? It was kind of funny to be honest, I lauged quite a few times throughout the whole movie...

I thought Paranormal Activity was horrible and also laughed at a couple parts as well. The funny thing is that the guy who was responsible for Paranormal Activity was an executive producer for Insidious.

The first half was really good and promising, the second half went downhill very fast. When they went into that 'zone' the film was just dumb and not scary anymore. Overall... meh.

Insidious was more depressing and sinister than it was scary.

I watched it the other night wearing headphones and it definitely creeped me out.

I thought it was a good story and a good idea, but hated certain scenes that just didn't fit with the film. E.g. gas mask scene, demon sharpening his nails. e.t.c. Which ruined the flow of the film. I also hated the acting, thought it was pretty bad. But i enjoyed the film minus a few bits.

I did find some parts very scary and jumpy, especially when they gave the audience no build up.

I really liked it,

wish I hadnt watched it at 1am though. It had moments that really struck the horror nerve, thus becoming un-nerving in parts. especially the child-hood photos

It was a good horror film, scary even in the day time. another movies to add with The Descent, Dead Silence, Drag Me To Hell
