The horror of horrible

Rating: 2/10 (13 February 2017)

Insidious 2 is everything its prequel was, but less in every way. The story suffered more, and the cheap shock drops were more abundant. It plays off a good idea but is poorly executed. Insidious 2 is another drop in the sea of forgettable horror films. James Wan definitely has his own style, and whilst it worked for Saw, it could not help this dying film with life. Patrick Wilson is predictable in his character, whilst Rose Byrne's character is in a constant state of terror, shock, and unstable irrationality. It should go without saying that the acting by both is below average at best. The true horror of this film is that there are sequels made, and more to come.
