Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013)

So we have introduced pseudo-time travel. At least it’s used in a way that makes everything come full circle. This also feels a bit like The Shining at the climax of the film. It does a good job of proper atmosphere and really growing the lore of it all. It was also interesting to see the dad and son swap places. The movie is very similar to the first. This one is a bit more intense but still focuses a lot on atmosphere and lore. After the previous movie left on a cliffhanger, you may as well watch this one, too.
