INSIDIOUS gets a release in April

Back in September, we mentioned that Sony was in talks to pick up James Wan’s (Saw, Death Sentence) new film, Insidious.  More than three months later, we now have a solid release date from the Sony subsidary FilmDistrict (formely Picturehouse).

Insidious debuted at TIFF’s Midnight Madness to a majority of great reviews.  Most of which likened it to Tobe Hooper’s Poltergeist.

FilmDistrict has announced that they will be releasing the film on April 1, 2011.

Synopsis:

When proud parents take possession of an old house, an accident results in one of their sons falling into a coma. The tragedy doesn’t stop there when they are beset by vengeful spirits from another realm in this new chiller by the director and writer of Saw and by the producers of Paranormal Activity. The film stars Rose Byrne, Barbara Hershey and Patrick Wilson.

I can’t wait to check this film out.
