James Wan and Leigh Whannell found huge success when they teamed up for the smash hit Saw, which proved revolutionary in terms of the storylines in the horror genre; keeping you guessing until the final music plays.
In 2010 the pair set out on yet another promising project - Insidious. Again, the movie kept twisting and turning until the credits rolled. With the ending finding the family in a deeply rooted cliffhanger, a sequel wasn't even an option, it was a necessity. No more than 3 years later, and picking up from only moments after we left the original movie, we find ourselves back in the Lambert family's home where the same unwelcome entities are taunting and tearing at the very fabric of what is left of Renai's sanity.
Without giving away the very twists that make the Writer-Director pairing so intriguing to see working together, I can honestly name this one of the most well-planned, and well-executed sequels for a long time. And with a name so haunting it had to live up to its prequel, it definitely did its duty.
Patrick Wilson, who plays broken and 'possessed' Josh Lambert, portrayed some groundbreaking and utterly haunting acting in a horror movie, that is incredibly difficult to find in such a genre.
