Insidious: Chapter 2 is a 2013 American supernatural horror film directed by James Wan. It is a sequel to 2011'sInsidious. The film stars Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne reprising their roles as Josh and Renai Lambert, a husband and wife who seek to uncover the secret that has left them dangerously connected to the spirit world. The film was released on September 13, 2013. It was a major box-office success, grossing over $160 million worldwide against a budget of $5 million, even though it received mixed reviews from critics.
I really think that director James Wan was sleep walking when he made the sequel of Insidious Chapter 1. Chapter 2 was just a non-scare, the first being far better in giving goose-bumps. I could actually see so much of copy-paste from the first that I just wondered how James Wan could have been so unfair in story-telling and that too when I was all prepared to be 'scared to death' and that too at the dead of night! So there you have it, an absolute non-scarer; Insidious 2! It beats me how it grossed $160 million! Every scene seemed repetitive and the story predictive.
As a movie-buff, I want more excitement and certainly no predictability. Why should I be able to say the story when there is actually someone else to imagine it for me? I want to sit back and let someone else do that job for me! But James Wan let me down big time! I wish I don't have to predict Chapter 3! I am only waiting!
I have heard that Insidious 3 will have a totally different story, with no connections whatever with the first two sequels. It is coming in 2015, with the script already ready with discussions on in full swing! Good for them but I wish they would do away with the 'ghost-busters'. They somehow don't fit into the plot!
