This (0:23) is a masterful example of the uncanny valley. It seems a completely normal snapshot of mid 20th century family together in the family room. Mother ironing, father reading the paper and sitting next to sister on the sofa. Like a snapshot, nothing is moving. As we get closer we begin to notice that something isn't right, it's not a snapshot, it's a scene. The family is in these completely non-threatening poses, but they're not moving the way people move. Even when sitting still, people move. These people don't. We begin to feel unsettled. The notion of a normal family sitting in the family room together, but not moving, is extremely uncanny and it begins to give us that sense deep down that something is wrong. Literally nothing overtly frightening exists in the scene. Simply the lack of normal human movement is enough to trigger our stress hormones, priming the most primitive parts of our brains to be on the lookout for danger. The scene is at it's most frightening when the light casts across mother's face and she blinks! These people are alive! (This is foreshadowed by slight movements in sister's face at the start). Living things that are very still soon start moving again. When will these start moving and why and what will they do? The rest of the scene builds on this initial realization and delivers at least 2 or 3 more uncanny valley moments to make this one of the more memorable horror scenes in recent memory.

The entity that attacked Josh by the red door looks like an older version of Dalton…

Literally one of the most scariest movie series in the history of cinema

0:00 to 2:20 is my favorite scene out of every insidious movie, it’s just so good. I came back to watch it again.

Love how you can see them beginning to awaken from the whole perpetual torment that plays into what the medium says about it being a place beyond time because they sense his presence - you clearly see the lady blink after he's inspected the room... but watch the nostrils of the first person he examines.

This scene is PURE TERROR. The frightening music explains everything

The creepy smile on that lady

Back then, this movie, especially this scene, used to terrify the hell out of me. Now, I'm just laughing 🤣

2:15 for your information

He asked for help and he most certainly got it

Insidious is much better than the Conjuring

This is my favorite scene.

2:02😂😂

Patrick Wilson ❤️

The one who plays the mother at 0:56, isn't it Bonnie Aarons (the Nun actress) ?

the statues are alive!!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It’s very much like what hell is. Drowning in the presence of your evil completely absent from the Lords presence. Basically in a different universe where there’s no light nothing but you and your sins. Called the abyss.

lmal they be like 😐😃

Tiptoe through the tulips 😉

She’s cute

Sus smile 2:15 2:03

That smiling lady was the only good thing about this film. Anything starring Patrick Wilson is gonna have a protagonist so dull it makes me side with evil.

Id love to date a chick who looked like that.
