i really liked it, one of the very few new horrors out there just now that actually made me jump! although, i will say its a film you need to go see in the cinema
Rewatched Poltergeist not long after I saw Insidious, I think my memory of Poltergeist is better than it actually was. On balance I think Insidious is as good if not better.
That's one thing I hate about imdb.com forums. All those "worst film ever!!" threads for every film, even the universally recognised classic films. It's so juvenile.
I enjoyed maybe the first part, quite jumpy some scenes (but I think that was due to the loud music rather than the storyline) but i think it just lost it in the end. So much more potential to go with I thought, thats the dissapointing thing.
It was ok. I thought it started really well, with some good creepy moments. The whole idea of 'The Further' though, that just made me laugh. What a stupid name
And the twists at the end were pointless, could easily have ended the film before the twists started happening! It was like the writer ended the script,then saw he had some extra blank pages left so just filled it in with nonsense.
That's what the last 15-20 minutes were. Nonsense.
1/10.
QFT! Boring, derivative film with no shocks, surprises or scares. Terrible film.:mad:
first half hour was very good then it just went downhill , way too over the top and far fetched , shame really cos i was really enjoying it for a little while .
Worst film ever?? Are you mad? There are far worse films than this. Insidious was awesome up until 20 mins towards the end, because this is where it starts to get stupid
More effective in the cinema of course, but I was happy to add Insidious to my horror DVD collection. As for the film being a rip off of this and that, I don't think something has to be 100% original for it to be enjoyable.
...but the red-faced guy was just ridiculous looking, and not at all terrifying. He was like a pantomime villain from a kids TV show. Was that intentional?

Imbd.com forums are over there.
