For the
short response , i chose one of the prompts given which was “Would you watch
this material again ? Why/why not” . Insidious 2 is a horror movie , of course
I’m not going to watch this material again when I’m alone because I have a high
imagination I think ,so when I watch this movie I will imagine everything about
the ghost and this makes me more scared to do everything in my real life . But,
the movie is very best and exciting . I swear . Do watch this movie and if
you’re the type of person like me , watch it with your friends or family
members so that you’re not too scared. The plot of this movie is very
complicated . I don’t know how to explain how complicated Josh was when he
tried his best to get into his body again to safe his family members and live
with them happily . Do watch this , seriously you’re not going to be upset . Believe me ! haha
