There are plenty of terrifying places in horror movies, but few are quite as unpleasant as the Further. Since the nightmarish supernatural dimension was introduced to us all back in 2010, it's been the backbone to one of the most successful horror properties of the modern era. And it's also got some of the most disturbing horror imagery you'd likely to encounter, alongside demonic possessions of course, which will make sleeping with the lights on the perfect antidote for your evening.
James Wan's 2013 horror sequel Insidious: Chapter 2 has officially arrived on Netflix in the United States, joining the streaming service on November 1 alongside Insidious: Chapter 3. Starring Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne, the sequel earned approximately $161.9 million worldwide against a reported production budget of just $5 million.
How deep into the darkness will you go to discover the truth? Insidious: Chapter 2 follows the haunted Lambert family as they seek to uncover the mysterious childhood secret that has left them dangerously connected to the spirit world. They must rely on familiar allies to exile the demons that follow them and unearth the secret before the evil continues its deadly rampage. And stay away from any red doors, if you know what's good for you.
Who Stars in 'Insidious: Chapter 2'?
The cast stars Wilson (The Conjuring) as Josh Lambert, Byrne (Bridesmaids) as Renai Lambert, Barbara Hershey (Black Swan) as Lorraine Lambert, Lin Shaye (There's Something About Mary) as Elise Rainier, Ty Simpkins (Iron Man 3) as Dalton Lambert, Andrew Astor (The Hangover) as Foster Lambert, Leigh Whannell (Saw) as Specs, and Angus Sampson (Mad Max: Fury Road) as Tucker.
The movie earned $83.6 million domestically and $161.9 million worldwide. It holds a 38% critics' score and 57% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Collider's review states that "what Wan does really, really well though, is establishing the geography of the house, much like he did so well in The Conjuring." The review also makes the point that the audience quickly gets a solid understanding of the house's layout, which helps make the lousy jump-scares much more effective, while it's hailed as a visually stunning, excessively creepy film, but one that fails to pack a horror wallop due to abrupt tonal shifts and lack of emotion.
