I was told this was an "amazingly good" horror film.
Meh.
It's basically a lot like Poltergeist with a touch of Silent Hill sprinkled in for taste.
Odd writing throughout. Almost like the writer would think of something new while writing the story, and then try to shoehorn it in wherever he was in the script at that moment. The ending is quite predictable as well.
There are a few good moments, but overall I was not as impressed as the person who told me to see it.

From James Wan, the same hack who helped with Saw.

The movie opens with a shot of a camera pointing upwards towards a grey ceiling. James Wan's taint comes into view, then his asshole gapes wide as he shits a continuous stream of bad ideas on the camera lens for one hour and forty minutes straight that threatens to break through your TV screen and drown you in a scene reminiscent of The Ring. This came to be called Insidious.

I don't know how you are not on TV reviewing movies.
I'd watch.

- The father avoids getting his picture taken and looking at it ... ever, and he's married? What the fuck woman let him get married without taking five million pictures of everything from his cufflinks to the flower arrangement?
- Bloody handprints and his comatose son's overturned and rummaged room isn't enough to convince him some weird shit's going on? Even after he had his security system go off twice before when there was clearly no way anyone but a superhuman ninja or the crew of Punk'd could have tricked him? Fucking wow.
- It took over 3 months of his grade school kid being in a coma before the biggest, baddest demon in the Further (what a stupid fucking name) was able to affect a full possession, but the father succumbs during in an hour during his trip? WTF?
- During his trip, he's instructed to ... "walk around that place like you own it, pretend you're one of them, or they'll all come for you." What does he do? He shines a bright-ass lantern light in their faces and questions them about his son's whereabouts. Smooth as Egyptian whisky.
- Why does the biggest, baddest demon in the nether realm look mysteriously like a cloven-hoofed Nightcrawler practicing his face-painting for the upcoming college bowl game? The only time he was remotely frightening was during the grandmother's dream when he was all Nosferatu shadowy and Slenderman-esque.
- Why is Leigh Whannel (the other criminal responsible for Saw) getting a supporting role as the nerdy paranormal researcher?

It has been a long time since I saw this movie, so a lot of it isn't fresh.... basically, I barely remembered that I had seen it, but I watched Insidious 2 tonight on Netflix.
I am putting this in the first one's thread because they are basically the same movie. A lot of shit that wasn't explained in the first movie is explained in this one.... if I recall correctly. The alarm system thing is explained, for example.
Anyway, it is on Netflix. I recommend watching the first one first to refresh your memory since Chapter 2 overlaps.

Does it explain how the fuck he went through life, a wife, and a kid without ever seeing a photo of himself?

You're shitting me. I may have to see it, just to find out the Rube Goldbergian reasoning behind that one.

The movies overlap. Things that didn't get explained in the first are shown in the second.
But again, I barely remember watching the first one. I was reminded of a lot of the parts of the first by watching the second.

This movie does not fucking explain how the mofo can walk around his entire life not getting his picture taken.
