I went to see it last week. Thought the first half was great, some intense moments. But it all fell apart for me in the second half. It just all got a bit daft when it fell into the Poltergeist esque parts.

UPDATE: Yeah I agree. I wouldnt say the whole second half was bad, but it definatly was a bad ending.
I watched it with a bunch of 12 year olds so I had a blast listening to them scream and watching them jump. What a hoot!

No, but I wanted to. Guess I'll wait for it to come to Netflix

I saw it last night with my wife. We thought it was excellent, but yes, it does tail off at the end. It's pretty intense a la Poltergeist, but let us never confuse these two movies. Poltergeist is just a better movie from beginning to end, Insidious was a great movie through the first 3/4.
I do recommend it though, it has more than it's fair share of moments.

I guess I liked this movie, but the plot wasn't great, IMO. It reminded me of Poltergeist, but it definitely wasn't nearly as good. Not sure I would bother with it again...

It is in my Netflix queue.. the "Poltergeist" references by Helen, Devo and Ronnie have me intrigued.
Looks scary on the previews. no?

As I said before, maybe it was just hard for it to maintain the pace that it was on. That being said it's totally worth it to watch. A bunch of the Poltergeist combined with a little bit of the Exorcist.

Val, there are a lot of little things done in the movie to make you jump and get creeped out over, but I strongly agree with Devo and Helen, the end takes a dive. Hope you like it. The images tend to stick with you, just a bit, at least they did with me. Posts: 4807 | Registered: Oct 2002 | Site Updates: 39

According to Netflix there is a "very long wait." So who knows when I'll get it?

My neice went on and on about loving this movie...but I think she loved it most because she somehow got into the theatre to see it with a friend...and felt she got away with something big. With what I'm reading from you guys....I'm now interested.
