I Have a Confession...

So... this past weekend I went with my mom to go see Insidious. They must not have had ANY advertising campaign because I had never even heard of it until last week. Anyways, my interest was really peaked when Entertainment Weekly gave it an A. I think it was very well deserved. It's about a boy who is haunted by demons....kinda. I don't really know how to explain it without taking forever and ruining the whole movie. But I thought it was really good. I mean, you have to take these types of movies for what they are. It's not going to be realistic, and it's probably going to have a predictable story line. That being said, the scares were awesome. Just the whole entire movie I was in suspense, and even when I knew something was going to happen, it STILL got me. I will give it credit for having some really original scares; it definitely caught me unsuspecting a few times. The images are like burned into my mind...which leads me to my confession: I have had to fall asleep with the TV on two nights in a row because I am freaked out by this movie. And I also had to run through a dark room because I got scared. THAT's how I know that this movie was at least decent, if you're into this type of movie. For me, I'm always looking for some movie to really scare me, because it is very rare. It's happened twice before that I can really remember: once with Nightmare on Elm Street when I was like 10 or 11, and then Reincarnation when I was a sophomore in high school (a FANTASTIC movie by the way--check it out). Anyway, now Insidious is on that list. It was definitely surprising; when the movie first started I just kept thinking to myself, "This is just Paranormal Activity with a real budget," and it was, but not really in a bad way. All in all, this movie was fun to watch...and that's really what's most important.


P.S- After just finding that poster... same producers as Paranormal Activity. Go Figure. haha
