Wouldnt be awesome? What u guys think? I really hope the devs could get a license from them and able to make this chapter with sick cosmetics n charms for dbd. Even Elyses reading room key as a survivor charm.
The set pieces, including an abandoned hospital, offer a great atmosphere for the inevitable jump-scares set to occur in these locations but are hampered by the investigative adventure that forces its protagonists to these creepy places on pretty flimsy premises. The plot picks up the day after the events of the first film and centres around the death of Elise and the presence of the malevolent force that seems to have followed Josh back from the spirit realm.
By far the most disappointing part in the second installment of this series is the ending that sets up yet another sequel. While that is no reason to despair in itself, the set-up implies a third film that will still refuse to unfasten the shackles that hold its previous chapters to the level of mediocrity.
The decision to do the third chapter in the Insidious saga as a prequel proves to have been the right one, as it allows for the introduction of new characters while adding depth to a familiar one, and delivers another creepy good time at the movies.
Insidious: The Red Door finally concludes the terrifying story of the Lambert family, yet Insidious: Chapter 2 remains the most underrated film in the franchise. The Insidious movies are connected by the chilling menace of a netherworld known as the Further, a dimension located between Heaven, Earth, and Hell, where troubled souls are condemned to remain for all eternity. In the first chapter, the Lamberts' eldest son accidentally travels to the Further and nearly has his physical body taken by a bloodthirsty demon. In the second chapter, a new menace brings the audience back to the Lambert's roots and how their mysterious past is connected to the Further.
Insidious: Chapter 2 is the last movie of the franchise directed by James Wan, one of the most important voices of contemporary horror. Responsible for successful franchises such as The Conjuring and Saw, Wan's approach to Insidious explored the limits of the PG-13 rating with a harrowing atmosphere and some of the best jumpscares in horror history. While a lot is said about Insidious' first chapter, Chapter 2 deserves more love.
Past and present collide in Insidious: Chapter 2 as Wan balances Renai's attempts to save her children from their own father with Carl and the rest desperately trying to dissect Crane's past. Echoes from Crane's turbulent childhood take form in the Lamberts' house with a series of uncanny sightings of a deranged woman that turns out to be Crane's mother. While the haunting and the jumpscares are merely narrative tools to establish the Further's terrifying mythology in the first Insidious, they are crucial to Chapter 2's jigsaw, which in turn adds up for a compelling rewatch.
Crane is revealed to have been a serial killer in life, fueled by violence and hatred in the Further. Tormented by his insane mother during his childhood, who would raise him as a girl and insistently call him "Marilyn" while abusing him both mentally and physically, Crane would eventually give in to his darkest impulses in the form of the Bride in Black, dressing as a woman to confuse authorities and engage in a series of brutal killings.
While Crane's trajectory in life is terrifying alone, his doings as an evil spirit from the Further are just as disturbing. Wan offers an effective meditation on how rage and resentment live on after death as Crane meticulously takes over Josh's physical body and attempts to destroy his innocent family. Perhaps driven by remorse of his own failed family or simply impelled by an insatiable desire to kill, Crane corrupts every inch of the Lamberts' residence with his impure soul; meanwhile, the real Josh is stuck in the Further, incessantly playing the song Renai wrote for him on the piano in an attempt to make contact.
While Insidious' first chapter is a chilling descent into the Further, Chapter 2 explores the opposite direction: this time the dead permeate through the world of the living. The Man with the Fire in His Face was a demon whose only purpose was to inflict pain on others. On the other hand, the fact that Crane was a human being devoid of any emotion is what makes him so scary. To convey the claustrophobic atmosphere of the Further taking over the Lamberts' residence, Wan is much more subtle in building up tension; there are whole horror sequences that consist of strange figures appearing in the background, some of them blink-and-miss, until the characters' suspicions lead them straight to terrifying entities.
Insidious: Chapter 2's extremely low Rotten Tomatoes scores and its bad reception overall show that the film deserves much more love due to what it offers to the horror genre. In the movie, the concept of family gets many different interpretations. From the Lamberts' perspective, family is what keeps them safe; only united they stand strong. In the case of Crane, family is what destroys him; the oppressive need to comply with his mother's abusive behavior turned him into a loveless person. At the end of the day, Crane was already dead long before dying. What makes the movie so special amid all the others of the franchise is how humane it is; a reminder that the Further is merely a reflection of the worst of humanity. The only shelter for these hopeless souls who had no option but to break bad.
