Not much that's new (hey, it's a sequel) but there's still an old-fashioned respect for the pleasures of simple creepiness.September 13, 2013
Insidious: Chapter 2 is a puzzle movie with too many unnecessary pieces and not enough essential ones, but it's superior to its predecessor in a few basic ways.April 14, 2016
It's the screenplay's salient collision of past and present that sets the film apart from most horror sequels.March 11, 2014
It's not gory, but relies on ceaseless weirdness with scores of jump scares and even an odd Back To The Future 2-style subplot that's undeveloped yet still adds to the overall sense of crazy. Love or hate it, this is pretty effective modern scare cinema.October 15, 2015
The movie isn't merely bad, it's incompetent.September 17, 2013
Characters in Whannell/Wan screenplays speak with the first-draft expository bluntness of a cheap '50s thriller, letting the characters step on some of the best reveals.September 13, 2013
Though there's some admirably clever plotting to interweave the film's second half with events in the original, it's simply not as scary.October 01, 2015
If we had to have a sequel, "Chapter 2" is a really good one.September 13, 2013
An increasing amount of metaphysical backtracking dilutes the few simple jolts that do work this time around.January 22, 2014
The best horror films stay with you, leaving you jumping at the slightest sounds. This is decidedly not that kind of movie.September 13, 2013
Insidious: Chapter 2 is not only unnecessary but it commits the cardinal sin of devaluing its predecessor.
