Par H @Parhwy 19h Insidious (2010) is a 98-minute-long US horror I borrowed from my niece’s DVD collection and saw in July 2026. This film is a mess. Before I explain why, story-time. When I was about 3 or 4, my mum was tucking me into bed. As she was, I could see my bedroom window beyond and in that space was the shadow-face of a monster. I was struck mute with fear as mum continued tucking me in. That was 50+ years ago and windows at night still spook me. I deliberately watched this in the daytime; that night, it was windy as and the side gate and fence outside my bedroom window shook with the ferocity of seven demons. Back to the film. I got scared a few times (by window-looking spectres, cheap jump-scares, spooky noises). The rest is predictable and overloaded horror. The messiness is the discordant tropes and themes. The séance scene towards the end, especially the props, is ludicrous. Rewatch? No. Recommend? No. 5/10.

Whenever I hear someone discussing thre "tiptoe by the window" soundtrack I still poop my pants, years later.

Not so much for me but a person who doesn't watch horror movies may enjoy i See more Anthony H @Hardy Jul 12 I remember this movie being a lot more terrifying when I was younger. Insidious just feels really drawn out and slow until we get anything really interesting, and by the time we get to it, it’s over. I will say though the sound design in this film is very good and has very interesting elements to it, but other than that, this film is just fine; it’s nothing too crazy and nothing too special.
