Scary but disappointing

Rating: Null/10 (29 December 2013)

This film continues to explore the Lambert family's connections with the world beyond our own.
The first "Insidious" was outstanding because it had a simple and straightforward plot, and yet it delivered the scares and thrills. "Insidious: Chapter 2" develops from there, but the plot is more complicated. The human world and the further merges, and it could become confusing for some. The addition of a psychopathic character and a grossly perturbed mother may have heightened the thrill, but puts me off because it destroys the simplistic beauty of the first plot.
The scenes leading to yet another sequel is entirely unrelated to the Lamberts and is just so contrived. I am slightly disappointed by "Insidious: Chapter 2", even though I was scared by it.
