Insidious Might Be Scarier Than The Conjuring

from The Fear Review Hosted by thefearreview

Amy thought years of watching horror would make Insidious easier this time. Instead, she walked away wondering if it might be even scarier than The Conjuring. We’re going Further into the Further as we revisit every Insidious movie before Insidious: Out of the Further. We start with James Wan’s original and discuss why its scares remain so unpredictable, how it makes ghosts appearing in broad daylight terrifying, and why Amy once refused to let William bring the movie into the house. The review begins spoiler-free with both of our ratings, followed by a clearly marked spoiler discussion. See our full review: https://youtu.be/9RAfdadt9IM Around here, The Fear is Family.
