Most of [Wan's] peers shoot a bunch of scenes and let the editor make a smoothie. Wan no longer relies on visual gibberish. He has become a classicist in that sense.

Characters in Whannell/Wan screenplays speak with the first-draft expository bluntness of a cheap '50s thriller, letting the characters step on some of the best reveals.
Jesse Hassenger, AV Club
Rotten
Though there's some admirably clever plotting to interweave the film's second half with events in the original, it's simply not as scary.
Ian Buckwalter, The Atlantic
Rotten
Insidious: Chapter 2 is not only unnecessary but it commits the cardinal sin of devaluing its predecessor.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
An increasing amount of metaphysical backtracking dilutes the few simple jolts that do work this time around.
