Posted by on Oct.27, 2011, under Movie Reviews Comments Off

The third chapter in the horror series about the ordinary people who are being hunted by ghosts. Oren Peli, the Israeli producer who created the series, directed the first chapter and produced the second one, remained producer also this time and he entrusted the directorial baton to two of the hottest producers in Hollywood- Ariel Shulman and Henry Joost, the creators of the documentary “Catfish”.

As recalled, the previous chapter set in the center of the plot a whole family, and as the tradition it was most usual family unit that can be- father and mother, teenage daughter, baby playpen, Hispanic housekeeper and a German shepherd. There are also two other human figures, whose identity is impossible to think, and the many characters also led to an increase in the number of cameras- this time we didn’t see the events from one viewpoint only, but through a battery of security cameras installed in the house space for the owner’s suspicion that someone broke into the house and wants to do it again. The reason was naively thought that the family name that haunts them is a robber, and only too late they found out he was a demon.

Now the question is, is the demon returning to scare us for the third time as well?

Insidious

Posted by on Oct.07, 2011, under Movie Reviews Comments Off

Insidious is a horror thriller produced by Oren Pali, the Israeli – American producer who stands behind the series of Paranormal Activity.

The film uses the trick that stands in the middle of Paranormal Activity and that way it’s turning the basic idea which always stands behind ghost movies so instead of showing normal characters who moved into a hunted house follows after people that the danger is inside of them. After Psycho the American movies used to introduce the house as the element that develops all the bad things, but in the eyes of Pali, it doesn’t matter how many times you will move to other hoses – the destruction is deeply ingrained in you.

Insidious describes how a couple full of troubles tries to find in their house the curse that destroys their lives, and find out later that the problem is in them. Clearly that begins with one of the most grisly discoveries you can imagine, and the movie introduces us for ourselves in a very horrifying way.

The movie got good reviews and it’s profitable than almost any other film in distribution (A million-dollar budget – income of 50 times more than that).
