Most of [Wan's] peers shoot a bunch of scenes and let the editor make a smoothie. Wan no longer relies on visual gibberish. He has become a classicist in that sense.

Characters in Whannell/Wan screenplays speak with the first-draft expository bluntness of a cheap '50s thriller, letting the characters step on some of the best reveals.

Less than two months after securing a deserved word-of-mouth hit with The Conjuring, James Wan serves up a turkey with this confused, crudely staged sequel.

Insidious: Chapter 2 is a puzzle movie with too many unnecessary pieces and not enough essential ones, but it's superior to its predecessor in a few basic ways.

Though there's some admirably clever plotting to interweave the film's second half with events in the original, it's simply not as scary.

Audience Reviews for Insidious: Chapter 2

Feb 05, 2017A decent enough movie I suppose, and an interesting sequel, but pales in comparison to the first.Gimly M Super Reviewer

May 02, 2015Not as good as the first one, but still pretty creepy.Erin C Super Reviewer

Nov 02, 2014Insidious Chapter 2 is quite scary, however it is scary in the amount of headache-inducing bangs and popping out faces that the film uses. The actors work fine, but the film almost devalues the scary original with some rather irritating backstory reveals. Still, if simple old-fashioned scares are what you're looking for, there might be something worthwhile here. It isn't 38% bad, that's for sure. Rating: 47Bradley J Super Reviewer

Sep 01, 2014A disappointing sequel. The scares seem more contrived this time and although there are a few jumps it all gets really silly towards the end.David S Super Reviewer
