Halloween Movie Month [Insidious]

I'm pretty sure, before Paranormal Activity 3, this was the newest movie that I was watching this month. Coincidentally people that made Paranormal Activity also were involved in this. Also James Wan, the director/writer/producer throughout of my personal favorite horror series SAW, directed this. Insidious follows the Lambert family who have just moved into a new house. They are settling in when one night Dalton goes up to the attic to explore and is terrified of something. The next morning Dalton is found in an unexplained a coma. Three months later Dalton is moved back home and out of the ordinary events start happening. They move yet again, but the events still continue. What events are going on and what is going to happen to Dalton and the Lambert family in the end? I really liked this movie upon first viewing, and remember thinking there's some cool stuff going on. The music throughout is good and adds a darker dimension when it happens. Felt like watching an older horror movie with the loud ringing-like tones when scares hit. I love the lead parents in this too, in Rose Byrne and Patrick Wilson. Helps when horror flicks get people that we recognize, rather than no-names that get terrorized. I also like the was this movie combines traditional horror tactics like phantom people being seen and "make you jump" moments with supernatural things like hearing demons talk through devices and seances.  The filming of this, at least tone-wise is cool. There's really no vivid colors it's always a muddy color or a dark/grayish tone. Never a bright tone. Also the information and dialogue had me interested as well, especially when the "experts" came in and explained what they thought was wrong. I just like this movie and it's probably why I wrote so much this time haha. The plot is fresh, the acting and music are good, the last 30 minutes or so are great to me, and the scares are there. I believe this is worth the watch.
