I hate that I read so many good reviews for this movie. They even made me want to see it and then I did. Really boring crap. Okay so we all know the first Insidious movie was a bit confusing. The second one not only explains it better but has better scares. And of course I know Leigh Whannel wrote and directed it which is cool and I do have to respect the writer's vision however I don't have to like it and I didn't. Pretty much from the start I was bored and the scares were so mediocre and predictable it almost wasn't even worth watching.
Obviously there was nothing wrong with the cast or direction but this movie was so unbelievably cliché. Enter Elise to give random explanations of why stuff's happening, throw in a little possession but instead of calling it that say "the spirit has half her soul". And I really don't understand why people were saying it was such an emotional movie. Really? They must never have seen The Orphanage because THAT is what an emotional supernatural movie really is.
This was your typical haunted house crap with a typical backstory of the "evil spirit" to match. As a prequel it was also pointless. So the ghost guys didn't always wear suits. That's pretty much the only thing we learn from this prequel. As pointless as most of Hollywood's remakes.
