Insidious: Chapter 2

There are some decent scares in this one. There is also some humor, although I am not sure all of it was intentional.

The Lambert family, with their oldest son now back awake, are still plagued by the demon that has haunted them in part one. It becomes pretty clear, that it has latched itself (himself) onto the father of the family. Again, that is.

The details of how he was possessed as a child are filled in via flashbacks throughout the film and ultimately also reveal the identity of the ghost/demon/person that took over his body. This happened when he was a boy first and then later his son...because the person taking over their bodies was himself robbed of his boyhood, because his crazy mother raised him as a girl (and then later made him kill women).

There are some clever overlaps with the first film, as well.

6/10
