An average movie

To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since this franchise does have a solid reputation, I thought I might as well check it out. In fact, before watching this sequel, I have to admit that I didn't remember much about 'Insidious', except that, at the time, I thought that it was actually rather overrated. Well, as a result, it was already the very first fun thing to do while watching this 2nd installment which was to figure out what the hell already happened during the previous movie. Still, even though sequels in the horror genre tend to be usually underwhelming, I was actually positively surprised by this one which was at least as good as its predecessor was, if not even slightly better. I don't know, maybe it might have helped that it didn't have some really high expectations this time around (like I actually had with 'Insidious') but, anyway, this sequel did work for me. I was above all rather impressed by Patrick Wilson who was really convincingly switching between a loving father and a seriously creepy psychopath. Eventually, you might wonder why I didn't give this movie a higher rating since I was actually positively surprised by the damned thing. Basically, to be honest, even though it is inherent to the genre, the story was still too far-fetched and silly for my taste and something more grounded and focusing more on the psychological side of things would have been actually more interesting in my opinion. On top of that, like with is predecessor, I’m pretty sure I will forget most of it within a couple of days. Anyway, to conclude, it still turned out to be a decent sequel and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like genre.
