	Author	Review
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"A modestly scaled and highly pleasurable sequel to Wan’s low-budget 2011 smash that should have genre fans begging for thirds."	POS
United Kingdom	Nigel Floyd Time Out	"For all but the most forgiving horror fans, this is a lazy, stupid and incoherent failure. (...) rating: ★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"The sequel's not bad (...) Some of the jolts are effectively staged and filmed, and Wan is getting better and better at figuring out what to do with the camera, and maneuvering actors within a shot for maximum suspense. (...) Rating: ★★½ (our of 4)"	NEU
United States	Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter	"Setting aside the movie’s tediously lame dialogue, self-conscious performances and frequently predicable scares, the narrative’s compulsively shifting chronology intermittently manages to engage."	NEU
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"'Insidious: Chapter 2' appears to be the sum of the unusable parts from James Wan's recent haunted house feature 'The Conjuring'. (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"A mess from start to finish (...) 'Insidious: Chapter 2' is the kind of lazy, halfhearted product that gives scary movies a bad name."	NEG
