Insidious: Mediocre Horror Movie with a Some Twist



This is a horror movies. Scores 7 on IMDB. And created by the people who brought us Paranormal Activity and Saw.

Jadi gak ada alasan buat gw untuk gak nyoba nonton.

Ceritanya tentang satu keluarga yang baru saja pindah rumah. Dan setelah sebuah insiden kecil, anak laki-laki mereka tidak bisa bangun dari tidurnya. Selanjutnya, keluarga –terutama sang ibu- mulai dihantui berbagai bentuk makhluk aneh. Dengan penuh paksaan, mereka pun terpaksa pindah rumah (lagi).But apparently, it’s not the
house that haunted.

All in all. Ini sebuah film horor yang cenderung medioker. Polanya ketebak. Dan dalam beberapa poin malah cenderung ngebosenin.

Tapi Insidious juga punya beberapa stand-out point. Well, at least rasa ngeri dan teror sukses muncul dalam banyak scene. Tense-nya juga ada. Dan endingnya juga shocking. Literally.

Despite that, nothing special. Lebih ke nonton Paranormal Activity dengan “sedikit” jalan cerita yang “sedikit” misterius. Penampakan hantu2-nya bisa ditebak, ngomong2-nya terlalu banyak, dan sempat dataaaar banget di tengah-tengah.

The idea was nice. The horror-feels was there.
But still, something not quite right with this movie in my opinion. Just one horror movie that will passed by and forgotten in a few weeks.

Worth a watch? Maybe. Especially if you’re looking for some thrill and horror.

If you’re looking for something special? Nothing.

Rate: 5/10

  1. Simply hate it. Especially the main meany character : The Lipstick-faced Devil (as described in its credit title). Hideously RIDIKKULUS, a major turn off.

    One plus point for its awkwardly eerie scene involving stiff ghosts at the living room, though.


    All in all, worth my 5 outta 10 screams (ranged from Casper The Friendly Gosht to Shutter).
