The first half of the suspense-horror film Insidious is brilliantly terrifying; a haunted house tale with a twist. Long shots build the tension with punctuation of sheer terror and suspense. It's chilling and scary. Then, in an odd twist, the film embraces ridiculous "creepy" imagery that breaks with the realism of the film, a demon that resembles Darth Maul, and some comic relief characters almost straight from Ghost Busters. The connection with the audience is broken and Insidious' second half is so disappointing, it's scary.
