Insidious: Chapter 2

It’s bigger, spookier, meaner, and ten times more horrifying than its predecessor, making me seriously regret not forcing someone to come with me for, um, moral support?

Those who enjoyed the first will find the second chapter perfectly serviceable and, to Wan’s credit, he’s capable of generating plenty of chills without resorting to gore.

With Wan confidently orchestrating jump scares and bonkers plot twists, this is hugely hokey horror fun that's the match of the original.

...the climactic scenes set within the Further were a weak spot of the original, the complicated mechanics of this netherworld (and how it threads into our world) provide some of the sequel’s cleverest elaborations.

...the narrative reframing (...) is ambitious, and Wan remains a crafty enough director to draw your eye warily across the frame.

Jag gillar verkligen psychocirkusen som James Wan hållit igång sedan Dead Silence...
