What's Up Demon Lady?




I really don't even know what Insidious means. Nevermind, just looked it up. Good title. Although I think I'm saying Inception, but not getting confused just by the mere thought. Ah! Thought I heard her. It's alright. It's very rare that you get to actually see the demon(s) in a horror movie. It kind of reminded me of Thirteen Ghosts (awesome movie) in the way that different demons were represented.

A family moves into a creaky old house. Their son falls into a "coma" and weird shit starts happening. Patrick Wilson plays the dad, but he still creeps me out from being in 2 movies about pedophilia. Anyway, the plot thickens as the noises of course grow louder and longer, eventually causing the family to move. Turns out, the coma kid has an open vessel of a body and demons are duking it out wrestle mania style for the remains.

The scary parts were scary. The suspense was okay. The predictability was immense. With a Drag Me To Hell mentality, the creepy music and awkward walking spirits take you along for a ride of terror and fear. Although some of the screams fall flat, making a modern day shriek-flick is difficult. Relying on the loud music and creeps around corners comes back, but it's tolerable. I couldn't contain laughing at certain parts that probably shouldn't be funny. But I'm kind of a cynic when it comes to horror movies. I do scare easily, so it would take a lot for me to be not terrified tonight when I sleep.

  1. Hey not to be rude, you did see the movie right? They explain what insidious means in the movie for about a good 5 minuetes. Awesome movie though, very well done, for a horror film. I don't get scarred easily but still had nightmares that night i saw it :(

  3. To the first guy's comment, learn to spell, and the movie was good, i have watched it three times and I also own it, I love the part where you here the voice shout through out the house when it starts talking on the baby monitor, and the part when the red and black demon spirit pops up behind the dad's head, I would love to draw the demon spirits face.
