Review 09 - Insidious Chapter 2

Rating: 7/10 (9 March 2018)

The Second chapter for this awesome horror series picks off exactly from the end of the first movie with the death of Elise. This time its Josh who is affected with the image of the woman in black from his childhood. Josh is a suspect for the death of Elise, so they stay with his mother Lorraine whilst police check for evidence. However, shortly after their arrival, the parasites then begin to try and take over Josh's body; as he has been to the Further before.
The second chapter is very similar to the first. However their is more showings of the other characters. There are many scary scenes, and an awful lot of job scares. There is also a change of scenery then the old house, as about half hour of the film shows an abandoned hospital. The thing that i really like here is how the ghost that Josh has been seeing was a patient in the hospital, who use to dress up as the woman to commit murders. I thought that this was a clever idea.
I still feel that chapter 1 was slightly better than the second one. This is because the story was much more simple, and easier to understand than the second one. But again, actors are outstanding, music is awesome and the jump scares are fantastic. This is turning out to be one of my favorite horror series, and i recommend this title.
