Factory sealed DVD</br></br>Product Description</br></br>From the makers of Paranormal Activity <i>Insidious</i> is the terrifying story of a family who shortly after moving discovers that dark spirits have possessed their home and that their son has inexplicably fallen into a coma. Trying to escape the haunting and save their son they move again only to realize that it was not their house that was haunted.</br></br>Amazon.com</br></br>For most of its first half <i>Insidious</i> creeps along in top form as a classical haunted house movie seething with chilling riffs and cinematic idioms that embrace the best elements of the genre.

Renai starts seeing the above-mentioned figures lurking around the house?? sometimes none too subtly. Though the goings-on are unexplainable?? no one acts crazy and Josh believes that his wife's bizarre encounters are real. Like any sensible people who believe they've taken up residence in a haunted house?? they move. But the spookiness moves with them and the menace gets worse as months pass and Dalton remains unconscious without reasonable medical cause. Since things can't stay unexplained forever?? the pl
