Insidious: Make it Make Sense
from Brides of Frankenstein Hosted by Ally Marcie and Lindsay Sledzik
Today, the Brides are one hundred percent going to make sense of James Wan's 2010 film, Insidious. We swear. By the end of the episode, we will understand why this haunted house story turns in the last 40 minutes into a story about astral projection??? With a ton of ghost mythos that never fully gets explained???? And Lin Shaye wearing a gas mask to channel ghosts during a seance?????? We don't even know, guys - this movie is straight up the most frustrating we've ever covered, and we did Children of the Corn this season! But all that said, what this movie does right, it does in stunningly spooky fashion, and it's a solid warmup for James Wan and writer Leigh Whannel's spectacular follow-up, The Conjuring (which we raved about last season!). We also discuss the perfection that is Patrick Wilson - even though his character is kind of a douche - and the fact that the demon with a red face looks way too much like Darth Maul to be truly effective. Also, this movie contains the biggest plot hole we've ever covered on the show. We're still mad. Side note: take a shot every time Alysa compares something Insidious does, to something The Conjuring does better. You won't survive the episode. Insidious. 2010. Directed by James Wan. Written by Leigh Whannel. Starring Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye, Barbara Hershey, and Ty Simpkins.
