ugust 11, ’11------------------------------------------------------------------- www.whatzup.com- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21InsidiousThere are parts of director James Wan’s Insidiousthat are so scary you briefly question your judgmentin having chosen to watch it for, you know, thepurposes of “light” entertainment. In fact, there’sa brilliantly staged and edited 10-minute sequenceabout a third of the way in, taking place in themiddle of the night, that manages to terrify us in atleast half a dozen ways. And by “terrify” I mean theold-fashioned, slow-building kind of dread and fearthat has largely been replaced with simple “gotcha”moments in most modern horror movies. It’s a scenethat rivals anything in The Strangers and even Poltergeist,even if it doesn’t come close to generatingthe kind of deep-seated terror found in The Exorcistor Paranormal Activity. (Insidious is co-produced byOren Pelli, who created Paranormal Activity, thoughthe two movies rely on a completely different bag oftricks to raise our collective goose-bumps.)Insidious starts soon after the Lambert familyhas moved into a new home. While exploringup in the attic, 8-year-old Dalton(Ty Simpkins) falls and hurtshimself. Even though he seemsokay at the time, within hours hehas slipped into an unexplainedcoma that lasts months, with nosign of improvement on the horizon.Dalton’s stay-at-home motherRenai (Rose Byrne) is at her wit’send as increasingly strange and upsettingevents begin to occur aroundthe house, while Renai’s husband Josh(Patrick Wilson), a teacher, spends moreand more time away from home, in denialthat anything is wrong. Dalton’s brotherFoster (Andrew Astor), meanwhile, claimsto have seen Dalton walking around thehouse in the middle of the night ...Things get worse from there, and I don’twant to spoil the fun by even suggesting some of thechilling events that await. You’ll just have to trust mewhen I say that, for the better part of its first hour,Insidious is top-notch horror.The second half of the movie, though, goes toofar in the direction of outlandish explanations andsilly more-is-more imagery. The climax elicits somethingcloser to laughter than gasping – too manyghosts, too much everything-but-the-kitchen-sinksurrealism – and though the movie as a whole isn’tas ridiculously over the top as, say, 1408 from a fewyears ago, its still a little too much Disney HauntedMansion in its set design, with not nearly enoughstuff left to our imagination.If you think about the plot too long, certain weaknessesand unanswered questions begin to emerge,questions that make you realize the whole is substantiallyless than the sum of its parts. But I hesitate tosteer any horror aficionados away from Insidious. Idon’t normally recommend a movie just for a fewscenes, but I do here, because any horror movie thatmakes your flesh crawl like this one does, at least inparts, is worth checking out.On VideoDEREK NEFF[REC] 2The Spanish horror film [REC] was a surprisehit when it came out in 2007, and the faithful Americanremake, Quarantine, was only slightly less wellreceivedthan its predecessor. (Both are excellent.)They did so well, in fact, that the Spanish languagesequel has just been released on DVD, and the Englishlanguage Quarantine 2 will be arriving straightto DVD any day now. The two sequels have very differentplots, though, and it’s hard to see how Quarantine2, which takes place on an airplane, couldmeasure up against [REC] 2, which takes place inexactly the same tenement building as the original.Not only does it take place in the samebuilding, it picks up within moments ofwhere the first [REC] left off. (For thisreason, I wouldn’t recommend seeingthe sequel until you’ve first seen partone, the more recently the better.)As the first movie came to aclose, you’ll recall, intrepid TV journalist/heroineÁngela (Manuela Velasco)finds herself in some verydeep doo-doo indeed in the building’sattic. (The attic is where thecontagion that has turned everyonearound her into frenziedzombies originated.)[REC] 2 opens witha heavily-armed SWAT teamentering the blood-drenchedbuilding after being given only thevaguest of debriefings as to what actuallyawaits them within. (Everything we see comes fromthe small cameras affixed to their helmets.) Oncethey’re inside the building the men are introduced tothe mysterious man who’s been placed in charge ofthe operation (Óscar Zafra), and within minutes oneof the SWAT officers is being attacked by one of thecreepy-as-hell zombie creatures. And things only getworse from there.At one point during this intense first act of themovie, the officers encounter a group of teenagekids, one of whom is holding a camcorder of hisown. The second act of the movie shows what thesekids see, from their camera’s point of view, until thetwo storylines converge for the climactic third act.What the teens go through is much more disturbingto us because we get to know each of them a lot betterthan we do the SWAT officers, who never reallydifferentiate themselves in our minds enough for usto care about them when they start getting killed off.[REC] 2 explains more about how and why the rabies-likecontagion came to exist in the first place.(Hint: the Vatican is involved, and the contagionContinued on page 27Membership MakesThe Difference• Job Referrals• Experienced Negotiators• Insurance• Contract ProtectionFort WayneMusicians AssociationCall Bruce Graham$4 75 for moreinformation260-420-4446Monday & WednesdayMartinis10337 Illinois Rd., Fort Wayne260.625.5600------- Calendar • Stage & Dance--------Now PlayingAl w a y s ...
