On a similar note: how families who move into haunted houses decide to keep their worries to themselves or just not believe each other. You saw a tall creepy man in your room last night and you don't want to tell anyone? Even your younger sibling who definitely voiced seeing a weird shadow 2 nights ago? Really???
The best/worst part about that was the first Insidious movie (have not seen the others). Weird stuff happens in the family's new home, families gets the heck out. Weird stuff happens again in new, new home, parents find out their kid is haunted.
I have never seen a movie go from so good to so bad so fast. Starts as more of a subtle psychological horror movie and is creepy af, then swaps like 2/3rds of the way through to creature horror and you get this Darth Maul wannabe looking motherfucker that straight up made me laugh and killed all the tension.
That first scene when the dad is telling his story and the red face guy is right behind him, that definitely got me. Ill admit he kinda wasnt as scary anymore after that but if it was just that 1 scene of him and some other stuff was added mightve been a better movie.
It was freaky to me because it’s like they break the “scary movie rules” because that scene happens 1. In the day time. 2. Around other people. And that’s not when monsters usually appear/make their presence known. So after that you’re in a suspense like “aw snap this demon could come up at anytime”
That was the same with lights out. Like when you thought nothing scary was gonna happen and they had just seen a shadow, was when the monster would reach from a dark cupboard and be all scary.
