Not a horror movie. I'm realizing as I go through these Insidious seems to have no real idea of what it wants to be. It markets itself as a horror film, yet fails to be scary in really any sense. I normally scare fairly easily, so I'm particular about how I watch horror movies. Insidious is less a horror film than it is a thriller using horror movie elements (like ghosts, and junk).
That by it self doesn't make it a bad move, disappointing for sure, when one goes in expecting a horror and gets a thriller it's a major disappointment, but Insideous also seems to fall flat making the viewer care about the people on the screen. Even after watching 1 and 2 back to back I still couldn't tell you the characters' names, and don't feel invested in them at all.
