Insidious | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Roger Moore Tribune News Service The best horror movies get the audience talking back to the screen. "Insidious" manages that, and how... Rated: 3/4 Jan 9, 2013 Full Review Insidious | Rotten Tomatoes (2) 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. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 16, 2011 Full Review Insidious | Rotten Tomatoes (3) 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. Rated: 2/5 May 12, 2011 Full Review Insidious | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Wan knows how to use his familiar bag of tricks to make us squirm and jump at the right moments, and today that’s rare among this brand of haunted house fright movie. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Insidious | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Matt Brunson Film Frenzy While it’s long been time to call a moratorium on both haunted-house thrillers and creepy-child sagas, Insidious milks a bit of innovativeness from both these sub-genres before self-destructing. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 27, 2023 Full Review Insidious | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Allison Rose FlickDirect There have been far scarier movies that have been made and, while some are better than Insidious, there are many more that are MUCH worse. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 14, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Chael B Stay far away from this movie... not because it's scary, but because it's one of the worst movies ever made. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review Tore Sergei M One of the "new" great ones! Part 1 and part 1 just outstanding!! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/05/24 Full Review James E A slow burning but effective horror. It doesn't sell itself hard at all but it gets its point across and is very intense. Simple enough plot to not have to strain the mind, but told well enough to evoke a sense of eagerness from the audience. Rose Byrne and Patrick Wilson are both incredibly convincing and the camera angles and shots are one of the best parts of the film. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review Dev N For a PG-13 rating this movie sure has some great scares and shock moments. The sci-fi/otherworld dimension was kinda weird but I didn't mind. I'll give like a 7-8/10.Overall I recommend. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Nick S After watching the movie, 'Insidious' I was convinced they took the themes of astral projection, demons and dreams from the novel 'The Demon Revels', which came out some years earlier and told a much more believable and chilling story. I was further convinced they were 'inspired' more by 'The Demon Revels' when I learnt a character in the last follow up to 'Insidious', 'The Red Door', was in a coma as is a character in 'The Demon Revels'. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/24 Full Review Alex C This movie relies way too much on jumpscares. This is the kind of horror movie you put on when you have a bunch of horror normies who are looking for a quick and easy "horror" movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
