Finds a pitch-perfect balance between homage and originality.

Wan and Whannell have, in effect, ripped pages from the "Poltergeist" playbook and stripped the formulas down to old-style gothic scares.

Nothing slows down a movie down like people sitting around a living room discussing the meaning of "astral projection."

This is a movie that wants to be several movies at once. It turns out to be none of them.

"Insidious" ultimately works because of Mr. Whannell's script, which manages to be inventive and unpredictable despite its paint-by-numbers formalism.

Not so much insidious as inexcusable.

If there's a complaint to be made about Insidious, it's that the film's second half is unable to live up to the impossibly high standards set by the first half.

A tale of intriguing situations that rise to the surface carefully and cautiously before they explode in a flashy series of stimulating resolutions.

After a suspenseful and shock-filled first hour, it loses control and veers off into routine supernatural silliness. I hate it when that happens.

Insidious is effectively creepy and is able to provide some great horror elements without the gore.

Insidious isn't scary. It's laughable. And kind of sad.
