Insidious 2. 6/10
Same rating as the first. Its ok, I can sit through it and stay interested. It runs slow in about the middle of the film. It needed less time in the spooky place(to avoid spoilers) and more of the ghosts. Also using scenes that have been done to death in other films as well as fairly obvious stealing of one iconic scene. Also some things that did not fit put in to further the plot. Also changes from the previous film's mythology to fit the plot.
That said the ghosts were great and as I said the film needed more of them. The acting was decent. The father had a fairly poorly written role so I can't blame him for not doing a good job with it.
Lastly the film was too tame. I don't mean blood and guts or torture, just that the characters are too simple. It was more like watching an episode of a tv series than a movie.
