Wayne K @WayneKelso 16 hrs ago It’s very rare that a single good idea in the horror world will be left alone, and that’s why there are, at the time of writing, 6 Insidious films. The 2nd one manages to replicate some of the original’s tension but much of the magic is gone now. It’s a film that has to rewrite established rules, reset characters and bend over backwards to make the story work. Specs & Tucker are back, providing comic relief so Godawful that I swear they were some covert attempt by Leigh Whannel to sabotage his own script. Patrick Wilson manages to be a bit creepy this time, rather than being the plank of wood he was in the first one. Rose Byrne is still giving it her all but it just feels like a film that exists because its predecessor made money, not because the story had somewhere new or unique to go. There’s worse ways to spend your time, but I could name about 100 other horror films that you’d be better off watching instead.

Insidious Chapter 2 is a sequel to the 1st Insidious film and starts off exactly where the 1st Insidious left off. For me, it was really entertaining and spooky, but I can say it was not as scary as the 1st one; it had some cool scares and atmospheric horror, but there were places. The bgm, its obviously cool, like the other Insidious. The climax scene was very much similar to The Shining, but I can say it was like an inspiration of it. The acting was great as usual. The story was good, the suspense was good, and the way they got back to the backstory of the Bride in black was also good. Overall, Insidious Chapter 2 is a popcorn horror film with some atmospheric horror, but I still dunno why it's one of the hated ones; I enjoyed it personally.

The house really turns out to be haunted, it is giving more jump scares as well. Still, it is better than other movies such as "Aliens vs Predator: Requiem", which had bad lighting. But at least, in this movie, the lighting was eerie, well toned with a grey-blue color & the scenes were well visible. I did find some scenes to be smart but formulaic; the spirit dice, which spelled words into sentences was smart, but it is still similar to telling a fortune. With some elements, the movies of "Insidious" were never great, actually. See more Read all reviews
