Insidious (SPOILERS)

So we went to watch Insidious last week on Tuesday 10th May (I know it was a Tuesday, because it was cheap Tuesday at the cinema, OH YEAH! And not an Orange Wednesday).

Melon: I thought it was a pretty good film to be honest. It was very jumpy (those are the best type of 'scary' films). I thought the storyline was good, up until the last say 45 minutes, when the whole 'red demon' thing started happening... mainly because the Demon looked like Darth Maul after he's had a few too many to drink crossed with Edward Scissorhands. The other 'ghosts' were more believable especially the freaky child who enjoyed 'tip-toe through the tulips' - which is now one of the freakiest songs I have ever heard. (Especially when your Mother gets it stuck in her head and sings it as she walks along the landing back and forth from her room to the bathroom) Scary Times! The four freaky smilers at the bottom of the staircase were a close second as well... Overall I think it was worth a watch and definitely better than Paranormal Activity which was the first film I have ever wanted to walk out of...

Atori: Okay, so... I wasn't too sure on the film. The whole plot, overall, was good. But I must have been one of the only ones in the cinema who didn't jump - nothing makes me jump in scary movies, mainly because I'm always expecting it. Unless it's the snake Nagini when that flung out on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Prt. 1, that time my heart went. Anyway, back to Insidious... I spent most of the film trying not to laugh at the lad within a group of guys in front of us, who was jumping every five minutes. Other than the scariness and jumpiness thing, which could be just me because I'm not one to pull a cushion over my face, (Melon: Cheeky bugger) I did like the storyline. Astral-projection is one of those things that interests me [yep, I do believe people can do that stuff, and Melon does too] I agree with Melon on:

I thought the storyline was good, up until the last say 45 minutes, when the whole 'red demon' thing started happening

The demon thing just made me laugh. The ending too, I was disappointed with, though it does give a good opening for a sequel.

RATINGS:

Melon: I'd give it a 8/10 for scary jumpiness and for the last 45 minutes of plot 4/10

Atori: I'd give it 3/10 for scary jumpiness and for the overall plot 5/10
