‘Insidious 2’ Is Bringing Back the Original Cast, But Does That Make Sense?
In Development By Nathan Adams on November 19, 2012 | Be the First To CommentDespite producer Jason Blum’s initial comments that he wouldn’t get behind a sequel to 2010’s possession horror, Insidious, unless he was presented with a story that really made sense, it always seemed like a sequel was going to be inevitable anyway.
