Almost as Good as The First One

Rating: 5/10 (24 March 2014)

I recently saw Insidious: Chapter Two because I didn't just love the first one, it's probably one of my all time favorite horror films even if I don't find it scary. So there's no doubt I would enjoy the second installment in the Insidious series.
The story was almost as shocking and nerve wrenching as the first one and can actually be shocking at times. For example, they explain some of the occurrences that happened in the first film that you didn't know were supposed to be explained. My only criticism of the story is that there was such a strong build up, but a bit of a disappointing climax.
The atmosphere was just as eerie and creepy as the first one. (The Further is still creepy as hell) The acting is pretty decent, but the film also does suffer from some of the same issues that the first one did. It was all jump scares. I remember when I was younger, I thought the first film was the scariest movie ever. But now that I'm older and I analyze a bit more, there's really only jump scares which get old after a while.
Insidious: Chapter Two is almost as good as the first one, but not quite. Is it a good sequel? Yes. Do I recommend you see it? Yes. It's a good horror flick that's worth at least a watch or two.
