He explains, “Whereas the first movie has a twist on the classic haunted house genre, the second one is a slightly different movie and so it has a twist on a different sub-genre, It’s more in the vein of like a domestic thriller, but with a pervasive supernatural undertone, which is kind of what The Shining is in some ways.When I was designing some of the scares for Insidious and my previous scary movie that I shot, one of the things I would do is literally walk through my house late at night with all the lights out and think up these really trippy, creepy scenarios and if I get really creeped out then I know it’s working,”
He tells us that the film plays with time travel in a way that no other horror film has done. He thinks that this is a great turn in the horror genre and reveals something new to his audience that they have never seen before to give them a new element of surprise. When i went to see Insidious 2 I came out of the cinema saying it was one of the best two films i had ever seen. The second film creates much more suspense for the viewer and plays with a lot more aspects of horror than ever before. The film uses time travel to twist the story for extra viewing pleasure as it surprises the audience as its something they have rarely seen before in the horror genre.
Personally I think Insidious Chapter 2 is the best horror trailer I have ever seen. This is because it features all the elements it should to create a scary and powerful horror trailer.
Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock is one of the best film directors and producers of all time. "There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of the bang" is a quote from Hitchcock himself. In this quote he explains that there is no terror in just placing a frightening noise or a scream to scare the audience but the anticipation up to the loud noise or bang is what really makes it scary for the viewer. I think this is a technique that is not used effectively in modern society and is what is missing from modern day horror.
