THE PITCH:
Repeat the same lurid red main title from Insidious without the same effect; use clips from the first chapter as flashbacks; keep Rose Byrne's Renai looking like she's scared shitless throughout the movie..
THE RESULT:
Not nearly as chilling as Chapter One. Not nearly as chilling as this year’s Mama. Poor editing softens its attempts to be scary. A nice premise is set up with the clairvoyant throwing dice to see what Patrick Wilson's demonic Josh Lambert has behind his back, but the editing is ponderous.
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCES:
Patrick Wilson does well as the Daddy possessed by a demon that wants the deaths of his family.
MEMORABLE MOMENTS:
There are some chilling moments, and the climax is nicely gripping with some nice editing; but there’s nothing too memorable here.
WATCHABILITY:
Enjoyable though not that scary. I liked the flashbacks that tie this chapter with the original story. Wish the original had been a one-off entity. Don't need to see this again.
