A less scary improvement from the original instalment

Rating: 7/10 (19 April 2020)

Any plot holes left by Insidious have been brilliantly addressed in the interesting sequel.
The film picks up from where the first one left of. After the Lambert's son is rescued from another realm they mistakenly think they are safe from the evil forces that once haunted them.
The film doesn't provide the same scares that the 2011 title provided but fills the holes that were previous left.
The writing for the film is fascinating. Followers of the last film should be able to enjoy this film as it is far less frustrating.
As a stand alone film Insidious: Chapter 2 may not work as the plots is complex thus you must watch the first film for the second to work.
Patrick Wilson's performance as the father of the family Josh must be noted. He more than amends himself for his less than impressive performance in the previous film.
Insidious: Chapter 2 is certainly fun film that will be better appreciated by horror enthusiasts. However, due to less scares casual audiences may disrespected by casual audiences.
Another victory by director James Wan.
