A Sequel to INSIDIOUS is Coming

I freakin' loved Insidious! It was one of the best horror films I've seen in recently years. As much as I enjoyed it though I don't feel the need to see a sequel. I don't want them to make a cheap ass sequel for the sake of making a sequel. And even though there have been no plans for a sequel in the past, it looks like Sony is starting to plan for it. According to Fusible, the studio has grabbed the following domain names: Insidious2movie.com, Insidious2.net and Insidious2-movie.net. Producer Jason Blum expained in a previous interview saying,

There's no plan, no release date, nothing like that. I think James feels the same as Oren [Peli]. Oren was very skeptical about doing a sequel to Paranormal Activity until Michael [Perry] pitched an idea and it made sense. If Leigh comes up with a story that's inventive and you feel like there's a story to tell - as opposed to 'let's make another movie and make money' - and he comes up with something James feels is worth making we would do it. And if Leigh doesn't, we won't.

So maybe Leigh has come up with a new story worth telling? I sure hope so. I'm not going to come out and say the sequel is goig to suck, because it could very well be just as good or better than the first one. Look at the Paranormal Activity movies? As skeptical as I am, it still could turn out to be awesome. I just hope Sony doesn't turn this into a crap straight to DVD movie with out the original talent involved. What do you think?
