| Cape Argus / The Star Hollywood Reporter  Guilty-fun exorcist flick | 10 |  |
| Cape Times Christy Lemire Suspense with a smile | 10 | |
| Box Office Pam Grady With a perfectly scary setup, a bang up opening and a great cast, Insidious could have been something special: a horror movie that actually horrifies without resorting to gore. Instead, thanks to too many cheap jokes and a bit of silly music, it falls short. | 10 | |
| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Insidious is an affectionate visit to the Haunted House Movie, a genre that seems classic in contrast to Queasy-Cam gorefests. | 13 |  |
| eye Weekly Martin Morrow While the early part of the movie achieves a genuinely ominous vibe, the mood vanishes like a ghost as soon as the plot descends into paranormal hokum. | 5 |  |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs While Insidious has its moments, I just wish the third act had been tighter, wiser and kept our imagination in play rather than spoon-feeding us the obvious and not as truly frightening scares. | 10 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Aside from a shaky final act, Insidious is a very scary and very fun haunted house thrill ride. | 13 | |
