Watch Insidious Chapter 2 Online. Watch Insidious 2 Movie Online. Continuing where the terrifying “Insidious” left off, “Insidious: Chapter 2” comes across as as though it were on two separate tracks. On one, it cleans up and puts in some effort to rectify some of the flaws of its predecessor (including making sure the ending isn’t terrible). (Insidious Chapter 2 Movie Watch Online) On the other track, however, “Chapter 2” feels lazy and a bit repetitive. It’s scary and plenty of frights abound, but it lacks the genuine thrill and atmosphere the original possessed.
Think of it as a hot, scary mess. With spirits.
“Insidious: Chapter 2,” directed by James Wan (“Insidious”) and written by him and Leigh Whannell, takes place immediately after the sequel-assuring ending of the first movie. Renai and Josh Lambert (Rose Byrne and Patrick Wilson reprise their roles) are contending with the aftermath of a malevolent entity haunting their family. (Insidious Chapter 2 Movie Watch Online) With the family back together, they decide to stay at Josh’s mother’s (Barbara Hershey) as the cops deal with the murdered medium (Lin Shaye) at their home. (In case you didn’t see the first one, the medium, Elise, was responsible for saving the family in the short term, though she was murdered at the end by a very angry being.)

Within minutes, Renai starts hearing creepy sounds, seeing unexplained moving objects and believing the entities that haunted them haven’t left yet. However, she doesn’t get much help to begin with, especially from Josh. (It’s easy to know why, but it’s also a bit of a spoiler to reveal the reason.)

Trying to deal with the lingering spirits consumes the vast majority of the rest of the film, taking Josh’s mother, medium Carl (Steve Coulter) and Elise’s old working partners (who still prove humorously inept at what they do) to several locations and realms to figure out just what is happening.

Its effect is hit-and-miss: It’s nice to have that background information, as it proves useful in explaining why this family is so attractive to spirits that seek to cause harm. However, the scene shifts between present and past are poorly executed, leaving you confused and then angry later in the movie because certain aspects don’t make an iota of sense.

Yes, seeing rocking horses move on their own is creepy. We’ve also seen it before. It can a bit aggravating knowing you’re about to creeped out by small, disturbing children, and then be proved right when you’re scared half to death when said children pop up in your face.

“Insidious: Chapter 2” is scary in a way a lot of horror movies are: jumpscares, tight edits and creepy sounds galore. That’s the problem. If you’re going to use base horror-movie antics, you need to use them in creative and terrifying ways (think “The Conjuring”). If you’re lazy and half-hearted, you will produce the same. The sequel, in the end, just drags down the original into that dark, dank place where no one dares to venture.
Insidious 2 Watch Movie Online. The original cast of the 2010 horror film Insidious is back for Insidious Chapter 2. The film picks up immediately where the first one left off, where Josh (Patrick Wilson) has just come back from rescuing his son from a world known as The Further. The problem is, something else has returned with them and has taken over Josh's body.
I reviewed the film along with Kevin Taft and Aaron Fink on the PBS movie review show Just Seen It.
I loved how this sequel is an instant continuation from the first one. (Insidious 2 Watch Movie Online) Most sequels begin months or even years later, but this one picks up immediately after the death of Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye) and moves forward from there. This is the type of sequel that you can watch back-to-back with the first film like it's one long movie.
Insidious 2 Download. I also enjoyed the time travel aspect of this film. It's something one doesn't see much in the horror movie genre. Backstories here were not explained via flashbacks, as is often done, but by having present day characters travel to the past and learn about the bigger picture with the viewer along for the ride.
Watch Insidious 2 Movie Online. Aaron felt the film was a mix of way too many types of horror films from slasher pics to movies like Poltergiest and The Shining. Kevin pointed out that that is filmmaker James Wan's style - to just take what he likes from other films and put them together in one.
