Wan and Whannell have, in effect, ripped pages from the "Poltergeist" playbook and stripped the formulas down to old-style gothic scares.
Bruce Diones, New Yorker

If there's a complaint to be made about Insidious, it's that the film's second half is unable to live up to the impossibly high standards set by the first half.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

Insidious isn't scary. It's laughable. And kind of sad.
Tom Long, Detroit News

There's little new here. And what is new isn't well done.
