Insidious (2011) · 18 quotes
It's not the house that's haunted, it's your son.
Elise Rainier
Close your eyes, Josh. Take a deep breath and relax. With each breath, let the life around you fade into the background. Just listen to the ticking of the metronome. Focus on the spot in the center of your forehead. The universe is deathless. It is deathless because having no finite self, it stays infinite. A sound man, by not advancing himself, stays the further ahead of himself.
Elise Rainier
Now you're outside. Let my voice be your guide. Keep a steady stride. Into the Further you go.
Elise Rainier
Leave this vessel! Leave this vessel! Leave this vessel! Leaves his body! Tucker, turn on the lights. Leave his body NOW!!
Josh
I'm Josh.
Elise
I knew that. You've grown since I last saw you.
Josh
Since you last saw me?
Elise
Your mother and I have been friends a long time.
Elise
Have you ever heard of astral projection?
Renai
Yes. It's out of body experience or something?
Elise
I like to call them travelers. You see, these are people with the ability to leave their physical body and to travel to different places in astral form. Now, Dalton; he is a very accomplished astral projector. He's been doing it in his sleep for a long time. He has been since he was very young. And he's unafraid because he thinks they're dreams. And it's that very lack of fear that has led him to travel too far. And to become lost.
Lorraine
The reason I knew to call Elise in this situation, the reason I know her so well, is because I called her myself once, years ago, to help you.
Josh
What are you talking about, Mom?
Elise
It's no accident that your son is a gifted traveler. The ability was handed down to him.
Lorraine
By his father.
Elise
The Further is a world far beyond our own, yet it's all around us. A place without time as we know it. It's a dark realm filled with the tortured souls of the dead. A place not meant for the living. That's where Dalton is. And the problem is that with his astral body gone, he's just left us with a physical body, an empty vessel. And there are entities that know this because they can smell it. That's why they've gathered around him.
Renai
Are these the things that I've been seeing?
Elise
They're all trying to get inside his physical body simply because they... they crave life; the chance to live again. But there are other entities who are malevolent and have a more insidious agenda. And then there's this...
Elise
A demon who seeks Dalton's body for one reason - to cause pain to others.
