James Wan Does It Again!

Rating: 8/10 (13 September 2013)

James Wan picks up from the last installment and certainly does not disappoint. This film really does live up to the hype. After watching it, I was so glad that I recently watched "Insidious Chapter I". I do agree that you can watch the film without seeing the first part however I think if you do, you will appreciate part II even more.
James Wan's intricate woven plot proves that horror films don't need to be linear with some blood and gore to be scary. James Wan's direction for "The Conjuring" and "Insidious I" was spot on. It is no different this time around. Insidious Chapter II deals with many sub layers like time travel but Wan seamlessly pulls it off. He seems to have mastered the use of lighting which creates this creepy yet thrilling atmosphere. The pacing of the film is perfect and personally I think an improvement from last time. I like the way Wan creates suspense with no music just silence. It isn't too obvious when the scares are going to happen. That sense of not knowing is the reason why I enjoyed it. Also if Wan does go for a big scare, it will be a "BIG" scare.
Insidious II has good acting, good suspense and definitely some good scares. Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne on top form once again. Definitely go and see "Insidious chapter II". It certainly is one of the better horror films in recent years. You will not be disappointed!
