INSIDIOUS: TOO MUCH HYPE, BUT NOT AN AWFUL FLICK

My guilty pleasure is watching suspense thrillers, okay, it's really watching horror movies, BUT the ones without all the blood and guts. I like to be afraid, not grossed out. Brought to us by director James Wan, his style is a collective homage; in part to haunted house movies, in part to poltergeist and the last, little seen psychic astral projection and the "Further". It was visually quite stylish and well presented, but the plot was lacking and the acting was acceptable, but not much more. It is spooky and you'll find the edge of your seat quite worn, but that seems like its only intention. I can't recall it now, but I seemed to have liked the end twist, which is always a good sign. I think the hype out played what was delivered, but the delivery wasn't so bad.
