The Lamberts believe that they have defeated the spirits that have haunted their family, but they soon discover that evil is not beaten so easily. Insidious: Chapter 2 is the sequel to the 2010 Insidious and once again reunites Director James Wan alongside Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne. This movie or this sequel in general was not better than the original but Wan definitely made a movie just as good as that first one. The storyline once again is very interesting and there's some nice twists and turns along the way especially regarding Wilson's character, the new evil does show up here and there and is pretty creepy and the film does have some clear references to The Shining at times. (10/10)

Elise comes to the rescue even after her death. She helps Josh find the way to his home but this does not happen without struggles. The bride in black makes all efforts to beat Josh and he is almost defeated untill Elise's soul comes for help. It was thrilling and interesting but not all good as the prequel.

Loved chapter 1 and in my opinion this is even better. It really is a scary movie. Got a movie night with some friends and want a good really scary movie? Just watch this movie (after you have watched the first one of course) and your good to go. All I can say is, don't listen to the bad reviews here, I'm not sure why people don't like it since I personally love the story and the scares of the movie. This makes it (The Conjuring 1&2 are very close as well) My favourite horror movie of all time!

At its time of release, Insidious was hailed by numerous critics & viewers alike as one of the finest works of contemporary horror, a consensus I didn't agree with at all. For me, it had the ingredients to finish as one of the most effective chillers, not to mention that its first half was a masterwork of tension building but, thanks to the utterly ridiculous & laughable set of events that unfolded in the next half, the entire experience was pretty much ruined.Insidious: Chapter 2 suffers from the same issues that plagued its predecessor, in addition to a few more. James Wan once again succeeds in establishing an unnerving atmosphere and employs both camera & sound to good effect but it lacks the freshness of the original, its storyline is predictable, and the surprises are few & far in between, not to mention that its moments of tension don't linger for long unlike before, thus diminishing their impact by an extent.Picking up right where the first film left off, the story of Insidious: Chapter 2 follows the Lambert family as they relocate to a different house while police investigates everything that transpired at their previous residency. Soon, the family comes to realise that whatever was haunting them back in their old house has followed them to the new place, and with Josh exhibiting strange behaviour, the ladies take it upon themselves to get to the truth of all this & end it for once n all.Directed by James Wan (best known for Saw & The Conjuring), Insidious: Chapter 2 begins with a prologue that covers the part that was only hinted in the previous chapter while also playing a key role later in the story. Numerous moments tie up with events that were left unexplained in the first chapter but it still doesn't pack a strong punch this time. The tone is darker than the last time and suspense builds up quickly too but the story just isn't engaging enough on an emotional level.The look n feel of the first film is skilfully duplicated but just like before, all the scenes taking place in purgatory realm are facepalm-inducing. The ghosts look funnier than frightening, and the scares work best only when the poltergeist activities are ongoing. Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye, Barbara Hershey & Ty Simpkins return to reprise their previous roles but their performances aren't any better than the last time plus the characters remain just as uninteresting as before.On an overall scale, Insidious: Chapter 2 works in bits n pieces and is able to use its setting & eerie atmosphere to desired effect at times but it is so predictable & lacking in surprises that just sitting through this sequel is a tedious job in itself. The non-linear narrative structure fails to conceal the shortcomings in its plot & characters and the negatives outweighs the positives by a considerable extent this time. Fans of the original may find a few redeemable qualities about this second chapter but for me, Insidious: Chapter 2 is instantly forgettable.
