Ah, so you finally saw Insidious 2! What'd you think? Were you disappointed like I was?
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Yes and no. It didn't live up to the first one, but I liked how it connected to the first film. It's probably good that I went in with low expectations. What about that ending though? Are they setting up for another film?

I think I remember reading that they're going to make Insidious III, but without James Wan (I might be getting that confused with The Conjuring, though). And at the end, I thoughtSpoiler:
Also, did you hear that they're moving forward with the Annabelle spin-off?

I actually quite enjoyed it. It was pretty different from the original one so it kept my interest. I haven't read the book though, so I'm not sure how it compares.

I've been wanting to watch it for 20 years, basically since it was nominated in 94. Watched it as soon as I had it lol, I wasn't waiting a minute longer. It's such an important film when you really think about it, in the sense that intelligence was a markettable attribute in the 50's and ever since then it just hasn't been so. Robert Redford has directed some damn good movies, that's for sure.

I really like the acting in this one, everyone feels very authentically '50s.I've been wanting to watch it for 20 years, basically since it was nominated in 94.

I haven't read the book, either, but the original film was ridiculous. I am very interested in watching the version you've seen if I can get it. I wonder if it is possible to breathe any plausibility into it.

You didn't like the original? I wonder if you'll enjoy this version then, because to me it was more surprising that the children didn't leave in this one.
