Review: Insidious

— by SHERICE ANTOINETTE — After watching “Insidious,” I am reminded of why I will never own a home with an attic. Directed by James Wan — who created and helmed the original “Saw” — “Insidious” manages to produce more frights than “Paranormal Activity” and the[...]

Trailer: Bridesmaids (Feature Version)
