Insidious: Chapter 2 / Reviews
Total Film
Poltergeist goes Back To The Future with only passable results in a film whose activity is more par for the course than paranormal.

The Dissolve
He's become a master of making hoary elements feel fresh again... Chapter 2 reminds viewers why these elements were scary in the first place, and proves skillful filmmaking can breathe new life into the oldest ideas.
