Review of Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013) by Lafe F — 04 Jan 2014

As fun as the first movie, but it felt smaller in scope. Where the first one told a full ghost story, this one felt like a small incident. The first seemingly dealt with a whole world of demons; this one narrowed the scope.

I liked the early scenes when the ghost was threatening with the baby in the nursery. Gone was Lin Shaye's awesome psychic character whom I loved in the original movie. Back were the same playful duo of psychic technicians plus a new lead psychic old dude who got his messages by rolling lettered dice.

The plot had a few nice twists and surprises, plus plenty of jump scares. So, not as extensive as the first movie, but still a fun watch.
