Found footage helps a true-crime novelist realize how and why a family was murdered in his new home, though his discoveries put his entire family in the path of a supernatural entity.

Apparently this was written by Masswyrm, who some may remember wrote pretty good reviews on AICN.
I think this looks good, similar in tone to Insidious (and clearly being marketed similarly as well). As I'm a total sucker for these films, I'll likely see this.

It looks okay and I'm sort of a sucker for movies like this too so I'm sure I'll see it eventually. I always liked D'Onofrio on Law & Order: Criminal Intent and thought he should do more film roles. Doesn't look like he has a major part in this though really.

I don't remember much about insidious. Aside from the poster that I didn't like. Give me the gist of it. How good was it?

Darth Maul-looking demon aside, I thought it was one of the best "haunted house" movies in ages.

Yeah, Insidious was great. Definitely worth seeing if you haven't yet.

I thought Insidious was great, and this definitely has that feel to it. Trailer is really effective too, has me intrigued.

This is getting good reviews so far. 100% on RT (13 reviews). I'm tempted to go to a screening two weeks before the wide release. The theater is alittle out of the way though.
Comes out Oct 5th

Insidious was fucking terrible. This, however, looks better, although I'm growing really tired of the found footage genre.

I love the lack of dialogue and narration in that trailer, very effective.

This looks like it will stick with you long after the movie is over.
Can't wait its hard to get that *scared* feeling that I vaguely recall from when I was kid now being 33.
Still early, but its currently at 100% on rottentomatoes which is rare for this genre.
