Not as fresh and suspenseful as the first

Rating: 5/10 (7 November 2015)

I was a fan of the first insidious and it gave me some genuine scares with the Darth maul look alike, but they lost the creepiness effect by showing too much of him. I finally got around to this one and it didn't have nearly the same effect as the first one. This could be due to the fact that it used the same formula and many aspects have already become cliché. In multiple instances, I could predict what was going to happen and when a cheap jump scare was going to occur. Also many of the creepy ghosts almost became funny based off of their attempt to be creepy. There also was the added forced comic relief by the duo, which seemed very out of place.
