Insidious

After an unfortunate accident in the attic of married Josh and Renai’s new home, one of their son’s, Dalton, falls into a coma no one around them seems to be able to explain to the worried parents.

Soon afterwards, strange things start to happen all around the house. Renai hears voices over the baby monitor belonging to their infant daughter, Cali, yet whenever she enters the nursery, no one’s there. Josh convinces her that it’s nothing, probably just interference, but when Renai starts to actually see ghostly shapes around the house, she decides to call for backup, Josh’s mother. Convinced that the house is haunted, she makes her family move again. But the problems seem to follow them into their new home, and Josh starts to doubt his wife. Renai calls a stronger defence line, Elise, a reputable medium recommended by Josh’s mother. Soon, Renai’s worst fears have become reality, as Elise tells her that the house was never haunted, young Dalton is, because of his talents within the field of astral projection. Josh uncovers the disturbing secrets of his past, realising he is partly at fault for their son’s difficulties.

On a path towards a possible title of classic, Insidious is unnerving to say the least. The subject of falling asleep and never waking up is something that scares everyone, but the mixture of a logical fear and the entry of the supernatural brings forth something entirely new, leaving many questions unanswered for the sequel to answer.
