Patrick Wilson |
This sequel to Insidious begins with a prologue showing an incident in the boyhood of Josh Lambert, who incurred the interest of a nasty dead spirit early on. Back in the present day we learn from the first that Josh (Patrick Wilson) has been possessed by the consciousness of a serial killer transvestite (of sorts) named Parker Crane. As in the first film, weird things begin to happen in the house owned by Josh's mother, Lorraine (Barbara Hershey), where Josh and his family are currently residing. Josh's wife, Renai (Rose Byrne), is freaking out, but "Josh" tells her to remain calm -- nothing is wrong. Eventually Lorraine seeks help from Carl (Steve Coulter), a psychic who was friends with the late Elise (Lin Shaye). Before long another trip into the hell-like dimension called the Further is in order to finally put this family straight again and return Josh to his body.
Something's off: Wilson and Rose Byrne |
Verdict: Will have to think about watching chapter three and four of this series. **1/4.
Me too, Bill, can’t believe I missed these when they came out. I found the original on demand and I bet this one is available too. Didn’t know they made two more!

Yes, although the last two veer off in a different direction utilizing some of the supporting characters. Not sure if I'll bother with these although the DVDs are waiting for me on a shelf (thanks to the library).
