Trailer for Insidious

Saw franchise veterans James Wan and Leigh Whannell team with Paranormal Activity writer/director Oren Peli to give the familiar haunted house story an exciting new twist with this tale of a family that moves into an old house and begins to suspect they are under siege from otherworldly forces when their young son inexplicably falls into a deep coma.

Saw franchise veterans James Wan and Leigh Whannell team with Paranormal Activity writer/director Oren Peli to give the familiar haunted house story an exciting new twist with this tale of a family that moves into an old house and begins to suspect they are under siege from otherworldly forces when their young son inexplicably falls into a deep coma. As devoted parents Josh (Patrick Wilson) and Renai (Rose Byrne) struggle in vain to uncover the root cause of their son's condition, the stress of the situation gradually begins to take its toll on their once-strong relationship. Later, when darkness falls and specters appear to reach out for them from the shadows, the frightened parents realize they're dealing with powers beyond human comprehension. Barbara Hershey and Lin Shaye co-star.

  1. Positive review
    David Michael Brown, Empire Magazine Australasia For all its creaky-old-dark-house cliches, Insidious is a fun ghost-train ride, full of truly terrifying moments. But once it's over, it's forgotten. Full review External link
  2. Positive review
    Jim Schembri, The Age (Australia) Director James Wan here proves himself very adept at building dramatic tension and making you anxious about the things going on in your peripheral vision. Full review External link
  3. Negative review
    Thomas Caldwell, Cinema Autopsy Insidious is certainly part of a great tradition of scary films, but it's a little too bland and visually unappealing to be memorable. Full review External link
  4. Negative review
    Margaret Pomeranz, At the Movies (Australia) They're having such a joke on us because there is a ridiculous element to it and one of the things that I think they fall into the trap of showing too much. Horror and being scared is much more... Full review External link
  5. Negative review
    David Stratton, At the Movies (Australia) If the film was attempting to be more than just a horror movie, it doesn't work on that level either. Full review External link

    The Ring
