Insidious

I didn't know what the word "insidious" meant until I looked it up after watching the movie. And now, I understand why they named the movie so. Insidious means "awaiting a chance to entrap".

I can't tell you much about the movie without taking all the thrill out of watching it. It got an A- on Yahoo user ratings and my friend thought it was scary. So, I took a chance. See, I love horror movies or so I thought until I watched the "Exorcist" movies. After watching them, I kept the light on for many days and would hear the spine-chilling voice of the movie's demon. But there are other horror movies that have come and gone and have not left a lasting effect on me. Most horror movies are repetitive with a similar storyline. You know, it is about a haunted house or of demonic possession or about the undead, etc. Insidious was all that but still managed to be a little different. Sometimes, even the repetition works if it manages to scare the audience. Was it thrilling? Yes. But, not by showing green vomit and hoarse voices.

So, go ahead and take a chance on this horror.
