Insidious:
I'm not really sure how to take this one. Is it kinda campy and ridiculously unsubtle because Wan wanted it that way to bring something different to the haunting/possession genre or is it campy and ridiculously unsubtle because Wan is used to making Saw movies? That's not to say it's particularly bad, but throughout the movie I kept wondering just how I was supposed to be viewing the movie. Is it serious? Is it tongue in cheek? Is it a well done homage to say something like Twilight Zone? Or is it just a bad movie because the director doesn't know how to be subtle? I liked it, but I just found too many things to be too farcical to take it very seriously all the while it really felt like it was trying to be serious.
