INSIDIOUS CHAPTER 2 - New Photos and Information
I'm a big fan of director James Wan's horror films. He's got a great style of telling creepy-ass stories without using blood and carnage to scare people. Wan is one of those guys that like to mess with people's heads, and I like that. Stories that mess with your head make the best horror films. I loved what he did with Insidious, and I'm excited to see what he ends up giving us in Insidious Chapter 2.
Thanks to STYD, we have some new photos to share with you from the film along with some more details revealed by the cast and crew. Obviously this sequel continues the story from the first film, but at the same time it also delves into the past a little bit more. When asked about that aspect of the film this is what was said,
Leigh Whannell: Yeah, well, with the first film there was this single driving thing they were trying to fix. This film is bigger than that.
Lin Shaye: It's a bit of a murder mystery as well, which I thought was a wonderful addition to the story. In addition to being supernatural, it's also trying to solve this crime.
Patrick Wilson: Because we established the rules and you have to assume not everyone has seen the first one, you've got those little nods of like this is where we go, and this is what happens, because we had done all of that... Selfishly, for me, it was exciting because at the end [of the first one, my character] either gets cured or he's fighting his way back. Clearly, there's a duality of "what happens to the Josh here." It feels like an adult drama gone wrong with a supernatural element. Even moreso here because of the presence of Barbara a bit more, it's not just a clashing of the husband and wife, but of the son and the mother. It's exciting to play and explore. With the two movies Leigh has written, we get the language and world we're in.
Makes sure to head on over to STYD to read the full interview, there are a few interesting tidbits of information that you might find interesting. They've introduced us to a very interesting and creepy world in this movie, and it will be cool to explore it more.
