Next up: Insidious Chapter 3! Eventually, no hurry there.

A 'touching' 'tribute' to Psycho and Sleepaway Camp and whatnot I'm sure

Nature of the evil spirit seems a tad transphobic. And a lot clichéd.

Oh yeah lady, dropping two kids off well after dark? No need to get out of the car! They can get themselves up the long walkway no problem. What kind of dipshit would walk them to the door safe? Not you, no way!

Buddy just said "into the further"! There we go! Now the title of the new one is actually still ridiculous.

The way Patrick Wilson is roughhousing Leigh Whannell you'd swear he just watched Wolf Man

The two like assistant guys with their 'banter' feel like they were brought in from another movie just to make me glad I am not watching that movie at least.

Dear Insidious Chapter 2 I challenge you to include at least one (1) reveal that makes a single (1) lick of sense.

Be nice if at least one big scare wasn't punctuated by 10000 giant violins at once.

He has at least one unfortunate line. But also now that I think of it that episode may be the purest distillation of original Trek?

The abandoned hospital looks ancient, filled with decrepit antique shit. Then in a flashback to 1986 it's a very normal contemporary hospital. Until they go downstairs and it's clearly 1957.

Someone steps on a talking baby doll for a jump scare, but no one in the movie reacts to it. They just keep walking. These fucking movies I swear to fuck

I was distracted for a moment and now they're in an abandoned old hospital for some danged reason. It's a real mess in there.

You haven't gotten to Space Lincoln yet have you?

Ooh, more World Below would be a treat!

Not to be a dick or nothin'. But if your beautiful vaguely old-fashioned and mildly gothic very put-together house is having issues with haunts, maybe ditch the loud ticking grandfather clock? And put on some nice music why not?

Colours look a lot better than Chapter 1. Not Strange Darling 35 mm good, but pretty good.

Okay I get it this is like Patrick Wilson's origin story.

Either he has a fake beard or he can only grow a shitty beard that looks fake. Either way, why not just have him not have a beard? Or cast a guy with a proper, real-looking beard? Now I'll constantly be sitting here thinking "this is one a them fake beard movies".

Does this guy have a fake beard??

1986? When did the first one take place? Is this a prequel? A prologue? No one looks familiar. Do I even remember Insidious?

New theme for Terror-tober is Barbara Hershey. She's in this one. So here's our number 10.

Well now that was a cute little dance.

Excellent use of non-linear storytelling. Just shy of showy.

Split diopter, motherfucker!!!

Oh dip, the one oldster is Ed Begley Jr! Guess it's been a spell Begley, ya geezer.

Just two old folks sitting down to a beautiful homestyle breakfast that is also insane. And then doing a Chachi puzzle??

Nigh on 50 years walking this planet and I do find myself continuously discovering my assumptions of what is or isn't universal are regularly both topsy and turvy. But cursory research does seem to indicate that it is highly Canadian!

Musta looked aces on the big screen, goddammit.

Often when a modern film or show looks like shit, folks leap to blame digital. And I bristle, because digital CAN look great; it's a profoundly flexible medium! You just have to make the effort. That said. My sweet candyapple fuck this movie is absolutely stunning. 35 mm, bro.

100

Up front declaration of 35 mm film usage. Text crawl/voiceover pronouncing the true nature of events in a way I very much presume to not be the case. Am I being catered to here? How do I feel about this??

100

I have a metaphysical stack of films that never hit my local theatre or equally local liberry that I keep forgetting to pull from. However, here then is a pull.

A proper bed offers both storage space and dignity. But beyond that - why is it so godforsaken thin??
