American horror movies have not really been scary this past decade. It has been mainly the Japanese, Korean and Thai directors who have been churning out understated but truly scary horror movies, these past few years. So, it's quite refreshing to find out again that an American horror movie has been capable of providing a scream feast for the audience.
It was Vic who first told me that Insidious was scary. Well, nothing really happens much in the first 30 minutes, as I think the director just wanted to set the mood and introduce everyone but soon as the action starts, it's a wild rollercoaster ride till the last scene. I haven't heard that many shrieks coming out from an American horror movie in a long time!
Insidious is basically a haunting story and it's probably the scariest ghost movie I've seen since The Others. Barbara Hershey is very good in it and I also watched it because Patrick Wilson, one of my favorite hunk actors was the lead. Too bad what happened to his character though.
Well, if you want to hold your girlfriend (or boyfriend) tight tonight, this is just the perfect ghost movie that you can watch together!
