Insidious: Chapter 2 managed to be scary on many levels as opposed to simply relying on jump scares and gore. I will admit that I haven’t seen the first Insidious, which is probably why I felt the characters felt flat, but I am now curious to see it. The film held up incredibly well under its internal logic and managed to throw a few twists and clever bits of foreshadowing. More importantly, the characters were all incredibly consistent, even the villains/monsters who managed to have clear motivations and characters without being overly sympathetic. That said, it will probably leave you terrified, so if you’re not a fan of being scared, you might want to skip this one. But for me, it was a great way to celebrate Friday the 13th.
