Do you believe The Insidious movie depicts astral projection

Do you believe the Insidious movie depicts astral projection accurately? Is mentioning astral projection in the midpoint enough to make Insidious an astral travel movie? Most moviegoers had no clue about the astral projection theme until the psychic medium shared the news with Josh and Renai. Why is Insidious an astral projection movie even though astral projection took half of the movie to be introduced?

Most movies establish the theme in first 30 minutes. We know what to expect in classic horror movies. A Nightmare on Elm opened with a dream sequence. We witnessed the OBE in action. In the Sucker Punch movie, Baby Doll enters the astral world in her first dance sequence. Source Code astral projects Jake's character into a doomed train. Contagion depicts the spread of a deadly virus in the first 20-25 minutes. Insidious explored a haunted house in 20-25 minutes. So does that make Insidious a possession movie? A paranormal movie about ghosts who have no idea they're dead?

Moments after falling in the attic, Dalton enters a coma state. Josh moves his family to another home, escaping what his wife Renai assumes is a haunted home. The psychic medium informed Josh and Renai that their son is a gifted astral traveler. She asked Josh and Renai whether they heard of astral projection. Th parents learn their son is haunted. The dead can smell his unoccupied physical body.

However, the red faced demon is the only entity capable of possessing Dalton. The climax builds on the psychic medium inducing Josh into having an OBE. Thus, we see astral projection in motion. Astral projection shows us the astral world and or astral plane. The subplanes is conveyed as The Fourth Dimension. Deceased humans enter various subplanes appropriate to compliment their physical world experience.

Josh enters the astral world. He must go beyond the astral world to "The Further". What is "The Further"  world portrayed in the Insidious? This scene presents The Astral Hell of the subplanes. Most evil spirits occupy The Astral Hell to pay for their insidious sins. Murderers, rapists, and child molesters are confined to The Astral Hell.

Do you believe Insidious depicts astral projection? Does Insidious do enough to establish the astral horror as an astral projection movie? Astral projection movies are not as common in the horror genre nonetheless any genre. Insidious is possibly the first movie to explore astral projection.

Would it have been better to show Dalton astral projecting in the opening sequence? Having a lucid dream or an OBE would have explained more about astral projection. The brother tells his mom that he is afraid of Dalton. He sees Dalton walk at night as an astral form. Insidious is portrayed as the most popular astral projection movie. The psychic medium conveys astral travel, introducing astral projection through dialogue as well as inducing an OBE with mind projection techniques.
