"Insidious" (2010) and "Insidious: Chapter 2" (2013) directed by James Wan, starring Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Barbara Hershey, Ty Simpkins, Lin Shaye, Steve Coulter, Angus Sampson and Leigh Whannell are parts 1 & 2 of a supernatural horror movie that is sure to give you thrills and scares.
The Lambert family: dad Josh (Wilson), mom Renai (Byrne) and sons Dalton (Simpkins) and Foster (Astor) are haunted by the spirit world. We learn from Josh's mom, Lorraine (Hershey) that Josh has been haunted since he was a child by certain spirits that would show up in photos with him. Josh was hypnotized by ghost investigator Elise Rainier (Shaye) when he was a child so he would forget about those experiences. Unfortunately, Josh's son Dalton has similar abilities of astral projection which allows his spiritual body to go to "The Further" which is a place in the spirit world where tormented souls never move on.
In "Insidious", Dalton gets lost in the Further and Josh has to go after him, facing all his childhood fears head on. He rescues him and brings something back with him.
"Insidious Chapter 2" takes place immediately after the events in chapter 1. Elise's two assistant investigators, Specs and Tuker, have returned, bringing a bit of comedy amongst all the horrors found within the film.
The Insidious movies are not gory like James Wan's "Saw" movies. They are scary chillers that return to the style of old fashioned horror movies by building tension, providing eerie atmosphere and jump out of your seat scares. If you enjoy a good ghost story, check these movies out.
