Insidious Chapter 2 pulls it off!

Rating: 8/10 (15 September 2013)

Insidious: Chapter 2 pulls it off. Going into the movie theatre, I thought Insidious 2 was going be either awful or really good! Part 2 movies tend to be one extreme or the other in quality. Insidious 2 was well acted and directed. Wilson has another strong role, but Wilson was a supporting role in part 2. Wan's directing is a slow burn style horror movie. Wan's story starts off where Insidious left the viewer hanging. There is a movie flash back which creates the mystery of why the bad events happened? Regrettably, the story becomes bogged down with typical scares, and becomes just another horror movie! Thankfully, the last third of Chapter 2 picks up. The last third of Insidious 2 melds the first movie and the second installment into the story's conclusion. A memorable and exciting 20 minutes save Insidious 2. Eight out of ten!
