Insidious: Chapter 2

"A modestly scaled and highly pleasurable sequel to Wan’s low-budget 2011 smash that should have genre fans begging for thirds." 

"For all but the most forgiving horror fans, this is a lazy, stupid and incoherent failure. (...) rating: ★ (out of five)" 

"The sequel's not bad (...) Some of the jolts are effectively staged and filmed, and Wan is getting better and better at figuring out what to do with the camera, and maneuvering actors within a shot for maximum suspense. (...) Rating: ★★½ (our of 4)" 

"Setting aside the movie’s tediously lame dialogue, self-conscious performances and frequently predicable scares, the narrative’s compulsively shifting chronology intermittently manages to engage." 

"'Insidious: Chapter 2' appears to be the sum of the unusable parts from James Wan's recent haunted house feature 'The Conjuring'. (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)" 

"A mess from start to finish (...) 'Insidious: Chapter 2' is the kind of lazy, halfhearted product that gives scary movies a bad name."
