As a horror fan, I was excited to get into Insidious (which I've heard good things about). Fortunately, the movie did not disappoint. The story has similarities to Insidious (one of my favorite modern horror films); there's possession, a demon world, the whole shebang. This spookiness is combined with a stereotypical, somewhat comedic high school environment. You get that teen humor, as well as all the eerieness of a possession movie. The result is a pretty good, scary time.

I will say that this movie doesn't really introduce anything new to the horror genre. It feels like a smorgasbord of various other horror films, and it's far from the spookiest or goriest movie I've seen. However, it doesn't need to be groundbreaking to be good. It has a compelling plot, interesting characters, and some good scares--and that's really all it needs.
