Insidious

The Lambert family is introduced to the audience, consisting of Josh (Patrick Wilson), a high school physics teacher, his wife Renai (Rose Byrne), and their three children, Dalton (Ty Simpkins), Foster (Andrew Asturrizaga), and Chase (Oakley Stevenson). On a typical day, their seemingly ordinary household is shaken by a bizarre occurrence. Dalton, the youngest member, an eight-year-old boy with a fragile health condition, becomes catatonic and enters a mysterious, deep sleep from which he cannot awaken, striking no memory or reaction to the events around him. As the situation unfolds, nightmares and visions occur for family members, as if they are somehow being drawn into those sleep-dream states. Family members feel increasingly uneasy and sense that something is terribly wrong. This unexplained event convinces Josh that they need to seek the advice of paranormal professional, Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye), a renowned psychic who offers hope that she might be able to find the source of Dalton's catatonia and that the nightmares will be merely temporary. Josh consults with his stepfather, Carl (Brian Hallisay), but little by little, disturbing whispers of past horrific incidents threaten to destroy a sense of security and control that had underpin the normal existence of their home. Josh decides that outside help needs to be called into mitigate the situation. Renai and Josh, desperate for a solution, first seek advice from Renai's sister, Lorraine (Stephanie Jacobsen). Despite her concern for their situation, she realizes they need to get professional consultation. Desperate for a direct solution, they settle for whatever drastic measures are required in search of saving the well-being of their son. Therefore, the Lambert family gets a firsthand visit by paranormal investigator, Elise Rainier at home. As she conducts a thorough investigation on their household, their uncanny realization is shared – it starts by the strange echoes of footsteps but then advances into episodes of grotesque spiritual apparitions in the form of a gruesome, deceased but malevolent man with pale skin called 'the orphan' having a presence. Thanks to past trauma, Elise faces unresolved loss that refuses to be over and under those unresolved issues experiences profound personal danger where she uses expertise in spiritual cleansing practices but to shield her internal trauma, Elise is first more apprehensive and less cooperative. The intense difficulty Elise faces while maintaining professionalism stems from her personal past suffering tied to the so-called dead realms when she used the practice. The next big instance, where one intense nightmare is recounted where a voice tells Renai and her daughter "get out," it unravels an existential puzzle where a sudden and inexplicable departure becomes a reality yet seems trivial in the life of others - and what is revealed to be part of "The Further." The Further is where another realm, even beyond the living and the dead, is realized to exist – when a visit to a spirit world is conducted, unexplained mysteries and complex powers emerge. Meanwhile, it reveals that the house that the Lampt family has been living in is actually located in a site of known occurrences of cult practices, the cult of the grigsby's associated with both abuse childre and these kind of murder or crimes. A family may not see their grave danger unless unfortunate choices are deliberately forced when violence clashes with an atmosphere and in the end when such evil entities eventually recompense, creating an overwhelming, dark bond and to reassert one's sanity; they're even forced with the inevitable realization – that some may not be willing to pay the price for their rescue – as in the case of Josh, a father desperate to save his children. From start to finish, Insidious leaves viewers suspended in profound unease beneath the uneasy discovery that it was a crucial encounter between the mortal and other entity where only those deep, profound spirits not willing to heed or trust mortal life when confronted with the cruel reality - death.
