Review of Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013) by Joe O — 10 Jan 2014

I often get an overwhelming desire to watch horror films despite my better judgement. Insidious wasn't all that bad and it had one clear moment I still think of as a truly clever moment. This film.

Sad. It neither embraces humour like Cabin in the Woods or You're Next but never dives deep into the depths of despair like in the remake of Evil Dead or Kill List. It's also needlessly convoluted, desperately scrapping together a story that ties to the previous.

Having said all that, it's clearly trying quite hard, which is nice, it's not utterly lazy.
