Insidious: Chapter 2 reteams director James Wan with most of the filmakers he collaborated with on Insidious, including his director of photography John Leonnetti.

Thanks to Leonnetti's camera and lightting skills, both Insidious films feature dynamic visual and striking color palettes that belie their modest budgets. “The approach to the tone of Insidious was to capture a very natural and that we could further manipulate” Leonnetti explains.

The father of the family is Josh Lambert, played once again by Patrick Wilson, who mark his third collaboration with James Wan. According to Wilson “Josh Lambert is literally vacant because he's possessed, but will Renai find out?” Australian native Rose Byne reprise her role as Josh's wife, Renai. At the start of Chapter 2, her character is still shaken by the events that transpired in the first film and is spiraling into depression. “It's literally a day later and she's on the verge of a nervous breakdown,” Byrne explains.

The return of character actress Lin Shaye in the role of hypnotist ans supernatural expert Elise Rainier may come as a surprise to Insidious fans, given that her character was mysteriously killed at the end of the original film.

This well-preserved Queen Anne-Victorian house serves as the home of Lorraine Lambert and a temporary refuge for her son Josh and his family after the events at the conclusion of Insidious.
