Unlike the sequels in the Saw Franchise (the original was written and directed by James Wan and Leigh Whannell, the same guys who would later do Insidious and The Conjuring) Insidious Chapter 2 sticks very close in tone to the first film, rather than turning it into something else entirely.
The film begins the day after the events of the first film, so I would strongly recommend you see the first movie before you check this one out. I first watched Insidious back in 2011 when it came to DVD, and then rewatched the film last month with my 21-year-old daughter who hates horror films, but was willing to tough out this series so I could have company to the sequel.
In the end the movie is pretty great, works well for what it is, and will almost definitely end up on my DVD shelf next year.
Also kudos to my BFF Mike for getting me the advanced screening pass.
