But in other ways, both films are extremely similar, which is why Insidious 2 felt just a tad repetitive. <br /><br />Still, I hope Wan makes another horror movie at some point, I'd hate to loose his style on the genre, I mean, funny how he wants to abandon a genre that he is so good at. I guess it's all those millions he can make with movies like Fast and Furious 7.<br /><br />I'd love to see him tackle a horror film that isn't about ghosts or the supernatural.

Really creeped me out. I hope to see this over the weekend since I missed out on CONJURING.

Now that I remember, someone is actually watching Carnival of Souls at one point in the film!

But still enjoyable, I loved some of the spookier moments, like those with the kid in his bed...and the demon in the closet! Cool stuff! <br /><br />The only thing I really didn't like about it is the ghosts with the white make up and the black lipstick...it just comes off as people with make up on their faces...it kind of cheapens the whole thing. I would've prefered some make up that made them look dead or something...but the black and white paint, I don't know, for me it wasn't a good choice. <br /><br />Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-16780748312916049012013-09-19T07:58:45.749-07:002013-09-19T07:58:45.749-07:00Wan definitely tried to think a bit outside the bo...Wan definitely tried to think a bit outside the box with this sequel, but that still doesn't mean it generated any sort of scares, jumps, or thrills in the least bit. Disappointing really, considering that the sequel had some nice moments thrown in there as well. Good review Fransisco. Dan O.http://www.dtmmr.comnoreply@blogger.com
