Insidious
Insidious Chapter 2 is a 2013 American supernatural horror film directed by James
Wan. It is a sequel to 2011's Insidious. The film stars Patrick Wilson and Rose
Byrne reprising their
roles as Josh and Renai Lambert, a husband and wife who seek to uncover the
secret that has left them dangerously connected to the spirit world. The film
was released on September 13, 2013. It was a major box-office success, grossing
over $160 million worldwide against a budget of $5 million, even though it
received mixed reviews from critics.
1. Plot
In 1986, Carl, a medium, calls his friend Elise to help discover what is haunting
Lorraine Lambert's son, Josh. After hypnotizing Josh, Elise attempts to find
the location of Josh's "friend", an old woman who appears in
photographs of him. After warnings from Josh, she makes her way to his bedroom
closet and is scratched on the arm. As a result, Lorraine, Carl and Elise agree
that making Josh forget his astral
projection abilities is the
best thing to do.
Twenty-five years
later, Josh's wife Renai is under questioning by a police detective about the death of Elise. Unsettled, Renai rejoins her family as they relocate to
Lorraine's house, where Renai witnesses strange occurrences. She suspects that
Josh is inhabited by the old woman. The next day, Renai sees a woman wearing a
white dress sitting in the living room. Following the cries of her baby
throughout the house, Renai faces a woman in white and is knocked unconscious.
Lorraine visits Elise's colleagues, Specs and Tucker, to seek an explanation
behind the strange events. They call Carl, who attempts to contact Elise using
word-dice. Through the dice, they are told to find answers at the "Our
Lady of Angels" hospital. Led to the ICU, Lorraine recounts a story of a patient named Parker Crane,
who committed suicide many years ago. In
Parker's home, they find a secret room with 15 corpses in it. They also find a
black wedding gown and veil as well as newspaper clippings about a killer
referred to as "The Bride in Black," who kidnapped and murdered
several people while dressed as a woman. It is then revealed that it was not
Elise speaking through the dice, but actually Parker's mother.
After Renai recovers,
Lorraine insists that she, Renai, and the kids get away from Josh. Carl arrives
to drug Josh, who is possessed by Parker, while Specs and Tucker monitor from
outside. Josh incapacitates Carl, Specs, and Tucker and ambushes Lorraine and
Renai when they return to the house. He attempts to choke Renai but is knocked
over the head by Dalton. Renai and the children escape to the basement. Dalton
falls asleep and returns to The Further to rescue his father.
In The Further, the
real Josh, Carl and Elise proceed to Parker's house, where they witness his
mother, the woman in white, abusing him as a child, attempting to convince him
that his name is Marilyn. Josh finds the room filled with standing
bodies—assumed to be Parker's victims. Upon finding Parker's mother, the two
engage in a fight. Just as Parker is about to kill Dalton's physical body and
Parker's mother is about to kill Josh, Elise saves Josh. After the three
escape, they meet Dalton, who assists Carl and Josh to return to the living
world. Josh and Dalton wake up as themselves, and their memories of their
astral projection abilities are forgotten through a process of hypnosis.
Specs and Tucker
proceed to go to a family whose daughter, Allison, is in an unexplained coma.
Unbeknownst to them, Elise enters the home and approaches Allison. She senses a
demonic presence behind the girl and exclaims "Oh my God" while she
looks on in horror as the screen cuts to the title.

3. Production
Development
After the financial success of Insidious
in April 2011, discussions for a sequel soon followed. With producer Jason
Blum insisting on the return of director James
Wan and screenwriter Leigh
Whannell, a treatment script did not arrive until
nearly a year later. "As long as there was a chance that James and Leigh
were gonna write the second movie and direct the second movie, I didn’t want to
do it with someone else," said Blum. "They kept saying they might do
it, they might not do it, which was why there’s quite a bit of time between the
two movies."
On February 2, 2012, it was announced that director James
Wan and screenwriter Leigh
Whannell were in talks to return for the sequel.
While promoting The Conjuring (2013) at New York Comic Con in October 2012, Wan described how he and Whannell were
working closely on developing the story and the script for the follow up to Insidious, explaining to ShockTilYouDrop.com, "I think the sequel to Insidious is kind of my reaction to Saw where for my own
reason I wasn't as involved in the sequels, and so I felt with Insidious, think it would be good to
shepherd it and keep it more in track to the version I had when I made the
first film so that it doesn't detour too far.”
The film received the
title of Insidious: Chapter 2
because it is a direct continuation of the first installment. However, the tone
of the film was to be more grounded than in the first film, with Wan citing his
work on The Conjuring as an
influence to how he and Whannell approached Insidious: Chapter 2. "I pulled things from Insidious that I applied to The Conjuring, and what I learned
from The Conjuring I applied to
Insidious 2," said Wan.
"So for me, I feel like it's a cumulative filmmaking experience that I've
gathered over the years."
Casting
On November 19, 2012,
it was officially announced that Patrick Wilson, Rose
Byrne, Lin
Shaye, and Ty
Simpkins would reprise their
roles from the first film. The following month, it was announced that Barbara
Hershey would also be
returning. In February 2013, Jocelin
Donahue and Lindsay Seim
rounded out the cast as younger versions of Hershey and Shaye's characters,
respectively. It was also confirmed that the film's screenwriter Leigh
Whannell and actor Angus
Sampson would reprise their
roles as Specs and Tucker, respectively. When asked about the return of the two
characters, Whannell explained, "There was this hatred that spewed out
from fans saying 'I hated those guys! They sucked! They ruined the movie!' so
there will probably be a lot of people out there who will be disappointed to
hear that the Specs and Tucker characters will be coming back."
Filming
Principal photography for Insidious:
Chapter 2 began on January 15, 2013 in Los Angeles. Having a slightly
higher production budget than its predecessor, the film was captured over the
course of 25 shooting days. A bulk of the film was shot at a house in Highland Park, Los Angeles, which served as the location of Lorraine Lambert's house.
Another location used for filming was the former Linda Vista Community Hospital, which was redressed as a hospital setting and used for the
construction of interior sets (including recreations of sets from the first
film). "I’ve never shot in Linda Vista," said Wan about the location.
"It's kind of funny because Leigh and I have always heard so much about
it. For research on the first one [Leigh] came here to do a bit of
ghost-hunting. And I think a lot of that inspired us when we needed a hospital
set."
Music
The musical
score to Insidious: Chapter 2 is composed by Joseph
Bishara, who previously
collaborated with director James
Wan on the first
installment as well as The Conjuring.
A soundtrack album
for the film was released digitally on September 15 and in physical forms on
October 8, 2013 by Void Recordings. Additional songs featured in the film
include:
- "Waiting For You" by Alan Ett
- "Piano Sonata in B-flat Major, Op. 35, 2nd movement" by Frédéric Chopin

Angeles on September 10,
