For a while, I was beginning to lose my faith in scary movies. “Insidious: Chapter 2” totally renewed it. The storyline was incredible with lots of twists that were all explained by the end of the film. Scary movies often try to leave the audience hanging, just letting everyone know there will be a sequel. While this movie did end with a suggestion of an “Insidious: Chapter 3,” it didn’t leave me with any questions. It also had talented, well-known actors and actresses — something a lot of recent horror films have lacked. Producers even brought a little humor into the ghost-hunting characters, which I appreciate; every film needs a little comic relief at times. Overall, it’s great for a rainy Sunday night at home. Make sure you’re not alone, though — lots of super-creepy “spirit figures” appearing in mirrors and whatnot.
