Insidious: Chapter 2 like its predecessor isn't an awful horror movie or a flawless one. On the other like unlike Insidious, Chapter 2 drowns itself in its misconception. Adding nothing new to the sequel and starting right where the first one ended isn't a bad idea, however in this case it is poorly executed and its so obvious: Why are characters telling each other the events of the last film? Whannell makes plot holes and plugs up every third. In the first film it was stated that Josh was a gifted astral-plane traveler and in the second one he is lost and can't get back to his body. It's a loose plot hole and it doesn't make any reasonable sense.
Patrick Wilson does deliver a creepy praise worth performance, there are some good set-pieces but that's pretty much it. Everything is more than the less same as in the first film: The music,the jump scares, the atmosphere, the cinematography... Looking for answers in the plot hole infested script is more trouble than it's worth. It's easy to ignore the illogicality of some plot points and just relax.

Insidious 1 was a very scary but weak in plot horror movie that in the end was satisfying, although nothing special to watch.
The second installment isn't nearly as scary as the first one, but it develops a far better story with more angles, twists and turns.
Patrick Wilson is awesome in his character and so are Rose Byrne and Lin Shaye.
If you like horror movies that have some kind of good backstory and aren't just "Jump Scare, Jump Scare, Jump Scare" Insidious Chapter 2 is for you.
7/10

Insidious Chapter 2 (2013) is not to the quality level of the first movie. I'll just start out by saying that, because it's true that the first is stronger, but that doesn't mean that this sequel isn't still good. This sequel picks up exactly where the first one left off. So make sure and watch the first one first. So if you've seen the first one, then you'll know that the first one ends with the death of Lin Shaye's character, death by Patrick Wilsons character. We don't know how it's possible that this could happen, everything seemed completely fine and then he strangles her to death after she takes his picture for some unknown reason. This movie is all about finding out why he did such a horrible thing and the backstory that goes into all that. The reasoning and backstory is all very interesting and that's what will keep the audiences attention throughout. I loved the acting in this movie, all the previous actors reprise their roles here and they all do well, just as they did previously. The writing isn't quite as solid as the first movie, but the places where the writing in this one gets good is when everything is being explained. Why Patrick Wilsons character, josh, seems almost possessed and how exactly all that happened. There are several scenes that are genuinely scary and will very likely frighten just about anyone, so horror fans will not be disappointed. Overall, this is an entertaining scary installment in the insidious movie franchise. 7/10 for Insidious Chapter 2.

Insidious Chapter 2: Movie Review. The film has some very scary sequences, and some very well executed jump scares which are really terrifying and feels genuinely creepy and realistic. The whole vibe and style of the film seems mysterious and suspenseful. James Wan direction is solid. The performances are great. Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne, both are brilliant in their respective characters and Lin Shaye is amazing. The movie lacks the depth and intensity of the first film and it little bit slow paced, but all over its a good sequel horror film. (Please Note: That This Review represent only my professional point of view and my personal honest opinion about the film, and does not represent others. Thank You).
