I consider myself an avid Horror fan. From Grindhouse, to Giallo, to Sci-Fi Horror all the way to the modern American slasher, I've seen 'em all. But I think any self respecting cinemaphile can agree that, unfortunately, the genre has been saturated with such lazy film-making, it's hard to muster the strength to sift through the shit just to reach the genuinely frightening films. With that said, there's something about Insidious that looks terrific (it's being compared to the classic Poultergeist). Haunted House flicks are a dime a dozen too, of course, but with the right casting, the right tone and decent direction, they really have the power to get under your skin. After all, we can all relate to the terror of not being safe in your own home. This film is directed by James Wan, the co-creator of Saw and the director of Dead Silence. It stars Patrick Wilson (Watchmen), Rose Byrne (Bridesmaids) and Lin Shaye (A Nightmare On Elm Street). Check out the trailer below and leave your opinions in the comment section. I'm eager to hear what everyone thinks of this.
