Insidious: Chapter 2
When buying a haunted house it's imperative you hire a string quartet to follow you around playing ominous music.
Unfortunately, the household in this horror movie can only afford the violist.
Suspects in the disappearance of a famed ghost-hunter (Lin Shaye) that brought their son back from beyond, Josh (Patrick Wilson) and Renai (Rose Byrne) move their son in with Josh's mother (Barbara Hershey).
However, Renai's sightings of a "woman in white", as well as her husband's bizarre behaviour, leads her to contact a ghost whisperer who divulges Josh is possessed by a transvestite poltergeist.
Lacking the demonic dimension of the first Insidious, Chapter 2 instead goes the possession route with little to no payoff.
The scares are foreseeable, the acting's negligible and the plot doesn't concentrate on the few interesting angles it has.
What's more, every guy has used the "possessed by a cross-dressing ghost" excuse when they're caught. Red Light
