Insidious (2010)

Insidious (PG-13)

"Don't look back"

A strange meeting of Poltergeist and The Exorcist, this vaguely old school horror flick succeeds a bit more than it fails.  It can get under your skin if you let it, though the new age spin is the only thing fresh in this one.  At least the film makers haven't been typecast, as this is a radical departure from "Paranormal Event,"  except for the obvious plot twists.
