When One Movie isn't Enough to Fix It

Rating: 7/10 (1 June 2015)

I'm the perfect target for scary movies. I get real jumpy and freaked out with just about anything following long, silent dramatic pauses. Then, throw some kids in the mix and I'm on permanent hair-raised mode. Some of the scariest movies to me were Poltergeist, The Ring and Paranormal Activity. All of them had freaky occurrences with children... yikes!
Insidious Chapter 2 followed the same mold as the first one, which had me shrinking in my chair. Ghosts appearing out of no where, children in peril and sleep being an issue. The spirit that inhabited Josh Lambert (Patrick Wilson) at the end of Insidious is the antagonist in Chapter 2. It is not satisfied with simply occupying a live body it wants to do a lot more heinous things.
The movie tied together past and present pretty well and kept a cohesive story. Like any scary movie there have to be clues to exorcising the demons or figuring out what the malevolent entity wants. It seems like Insidious has found itself a nice little franchise.
