The the brand new Insidious 2 trailer suggests that James Wan is becoming a dab hand at these moody ghost story features. The original Insidious was quietly terrifying up until its slightly silly Marilyn Manson music video-esque third act but was overall a really great, creepy little thriller. Made on a small budget and raking in big profits a sequel was inevitable. As long as this one avoids the silliness and maintains the kind of creepy atmosphere this trailer promises it should be a good-un! What will also be interesting is how it will compare to James Wan’s other haunting horror movie, the much vaunted The Conjuring which opens in July. Wan is certainly capable of making different styles of movies, how many different scares can he pull out of one genre? Early word is The Conjuring is so good and so scary that it got moved from a January release into a prize spot in the middle of Summer. Let’s hope they’re both great!
