Although the film Insidious has very good parts of the film, there are also some negative factors throughout the film. In terms of negative factors, the film can be very predictable at times which doesn't show much unique style and therefore lacks originality. Originality is key in horror films, as the viewers want to watch something they haven't seen before and something that will surprise them. When the house is shown, you can automatically tell that it is haunted in some sort of way but nothing gives it away too serious until the little boy falls and hurts his head, which sadly leads to him in a coma. The films shows that as the boy gets progressively bad with his coma, the haunting around the house become worse and the family suffer even more each day. Following on from this, the film uses typical horror affects such as doors slamming, screaming, items around the house falling and breaking mysteriously, these sort of scenes make the audience believe that it is a typical horror film, that will have the same plot as any other. This is why it is important to have unique, original ideas from the very start of the production.
