The first Insidious blatantly lifted things from other movies, Poltergeist in particular, and Chapter 2 follows suit, referencing everything from classy old chillers like The Changeling to crass exploitation flicks like Sleepaway Camp. One criticism he receives a lot is that his films are derivative, and in part that complaint is valid. Watch Insidious Chapter 2 Online Unfortunately, Wan doesn’t always spend as much time developing his story as he does his characters. Every one of the characters is actually likable, a rare commodity in modern horror, and once the proceedings begin to veer away from the comedic towards the awful, you truly don’t want anything bad to happen to any of them. Watching these four unlikely ghost hunters stumble around deserted houses and abandoned hospitals together, it starts to become evident why Wan’s films work where other similar movies don’t. Also getting more attention in Chapter 2 are fan favorites Specs and Tucker, the helpless nebbishes who assisted Elise in her efforts to aid the Lambert family. Wan wisely gives Barbara Hershey, who plays Josh’s mother, a lot more screen time than she got the first time around, teaming her up with Carl, an old colleague of Elise’s whom we first meet during the opening flashback. Watch Insidious 2 Movie While we wait for the inevitable, the movie let’s us spend some time with the various other characters as they try to track down the history of the creature which seems hellbent on destroying their lives. But if you enjoyed the goofy tone of the first Insidious, then you should be more than happy. So, if you were hoping for more of the serious eeriness you got from The Conjuring, you’re going to be sorely disappointed in Insidious: Chapter 2. While the latter truly wanted to get under your skin and frighten you, the former plays its scares entirely for fun, taking the kookier elements from the first Insidious and running with them full steam. Well, Insidious: Chapter 2 is certainly not The Conjuring. Apparently audiences were in the mood for a good old fashioned creep-fest because The Conjuring became one of the breakout hits of the year. Thanks to the mysterious workings of Hollywood movie schedulers, though it was shot over a year ago, Wan’s last film The Conjuring just came out in theaters a few short months ago. How much you’ll be entertained by Insidious: Chapter 2 will likely depend on your expectations. Watch Insidious 2 Movie Online Okay, let me qualify that last part just a bit.
