I skipped out on Insidious when it came out in the theaters, but I rented it from the Redbox when it hit video. Turned out to be a pleasant surprise as I quite enjoyed it. despite one sequence towards the end, it was a very effective haunting movie that is exactly what the boring Paranormal Activity films* wish they were. Apparently Wan and Whannel aren’t done with the franchise, since they are working on the sequel that was announced even before their involvement was confirmed.
The movie was a hit, and was very low budget, so the money men got what they invested and then some. It also had a great ending, so I’m looking forward to where they go from there.
*I just rented the 3rd Paranormal Activity film this past weekend, and aside from a good last 10 minutes, it was too little too late. The movie just did nothing for me. Just like the second one. Although I did like the first one.

Completely agree with PA3. I kept waiting and waiting, with very little payoff. The ending was batshit but too little too late. Insidious was incredibley fun and the scene pictured above was executed so damn good. Looking forward to a sequel.
This is likely a grab for bigger profits at low cost, but I’ve got some hope with Wan and Whannel enthusiastically involved. If they can get Patrick Wilson, Ty Simpkins and Rose Byrne back, that’ll be a plus.
Every time I see a screen cap of this, I think of a post I saw in a some thread where a guy said, “I was jerking off when this preview came on, and when that scene popped up, I almost pulled my dick off.”
