Old houses with dim light bulbs and an abandoned hospital (complete with confidential patient records still on the shelves) provide plenty of boo business. Other than a brief twist in the third act, this movie is all about scene and setting. For added support he teams up with Specs and Tucker (Leigh Whannell, Angus Sampson)-Elise’s tech team from the first movie-and discovers the Lamberts are still in danger. Now Carl (Steve Coulter) is feeling the need to communicate with Elise in the afterlife. It turns out Josh had his own ghostly interaction with mediator Elise when he was a young boy, along with an assistant named Carl (Hank Harris). Worse yet the police are still investigating Elise’s death and Josh is a prime suspect.Ī case lot of WD-40 would likely solve ninety percent of their issues, but the opening of this movie assures us this issue is more than rusty hinges. Now in “Chapter 2”, parents Josh and Renai (Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne) are living in Josh’s mother’s (Barbara Hershey) home where they once again are spooked by creaks and groans. The discovery saved the family but cost the life of Elise, their psychic (Lin Shaye). In their previous Insidious outing they had to put up with squeaky doors and haunting sounds until they finally discovered the ghost that was freeloading in their home wasn’t attached to their house, but to their son (Ty Simpkins).

The poor Lambert family doesn’t learn very fast.
