Insidious : Chapter 2 (2013) – Movie Review ★★★★

Stars Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Barbara Hershey, Danielle Bisutti & Ty Simpkins – continuing the woes of the Lambert family as they try to uncover the past in order to tackle the spirits that haunt them VERDICT James Wan’s sequel is pretty impressive, it’s shot on a lowish budget by Hollywood’s standards and it’s very scary – the movie also pays homage to some of the screens finest horror films including the likes of Poltergeist, The Shining and Psycho – Wan has once again demonstrated his eye for horror – taking the ghost story to a new level and showing that the modern horror film doesn’t need to have lots of blood and gore but can be delivered with a good story and genuine jumpy moments that come at you from all angles, Wan’s camera work is as good as any of his Horror Predecessors and his eye for a good cast that lends itself to the picture is spot on – in my humble opinion Insidious : Chapter 2 is slightly better than the first – I found the hairs on the back of my neck rising as Patrick Wilson character slowly transformed into the evil that was haunting him and Danielle Bisutti’s terrifying turn as the mother of Parker Crane was deliciously evil and her scenes are still giving me night terrors – overall this is a superior movie sequel that I would highly recommend but if your in any way squeamish or have a heart condition then stay away….
