Review of Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013) by Robbie K — 26 Nov 2018

The haunted Lambert family seeks to uncover the mysterious childhood secret that has left them dangerously connected to the spirit world.

The second just has it (all) from Directer James Wan & writer Leigh Whannell . The original cast of Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye and Ty Simpkins in INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 2 knock this supernatural, Ghost possession out of the "surreal" Freak me the F-out ball park. The weirdness with scores of jump scares and even an odd Back To The Future 2-style subplot that's undeveloped yet still adds to the overall sense of crazy. It's the screenplay's salient collision of past and present that sets the film apart from most horror sequels. Horror maestro du jour James Wan (Saw, Dead Silence, The Conjuring) serves up a juicy, fright-filled spookfest with this follow-up to the 2011 hit. Magnificent .
