Insidious: The Last Key

I never look things up, or remember anything from the previous films apart from the fact that I liked them, so I didn't realize it was a prequel till the end. It's set in 2010, but it's been a while since I saw the first 3 Insidious movies so I just thought more time had passed than I thought.

I think this one's less spooky than the other Insidious movies, and the two dudes were pretty annoying. Some things make a lot more sense if they were meant to be 10 years younger than the actors actually are.

I did enjoy the story, but now that I see Insidious 5 is en route, it is very clear that this is set up for that.

Insidious: The Last Key is a very nice horror film. We are given a better insight of Lin Shaye's character as well as some really good moments in the film overall. Lyn Shaye is the best element, not only in this installment but in this whole franchise and her performance in The Last Key is fantastic. The jumpscares worked for me and the story seemed fine. I love how everything ties up to the original Insidious story at the end. All in all ths is a horror film which I really really enjoyed, being a fan of the series.Its a good horror film, it has its faults but Lin Shaye is the star of this movie.

Movie not so scary, but in some place you will jump out of your chair because of the sound effect, story quite confusing and completely varies from the previous versions, as usual not lengthy movie so acceptable to spend some time for entertainment portion of your daily life, DON'T MISS THE FIRST SCENE which is far good than other scenes.. Worth watch in BIG screen, so watch soon.

This movie focuses on Elise's character and that is undeniably the best part of the film. The scary scenes feel too similar to what we have seen in the previous installments but overall, it was enjoyable.

In 1953, Elise Rainier lives with her loving mother, her abusive prison guard father, and her young brother Christian next to the prison. Her father beats her for claiming to see the dead and locks her in the basement. She unlocks a forbidding red door allowing a demon to escape and getting her mother killed. In 2010 California, Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye) fights paranormal demons with Specs and Tucker. She gets a call for help from Ted Garza who lives in her childhood home in New Mexico. She reluctantly goes home and finds her estranged angry brother Christian (Bruce Davison) with two daughters Imogen (Caitlin Gerard) and Melissa (Spencer Locke).

There are some issues with clarity. This starts with the flashback to her childhood home. In retrospect, it doesn't make sense that her father would lock her in the basement so that she could easily find the secret entrance to the dungeon. The house layout is never that clear with a question of how the kids wouldn't figure things out sooner over the many years. The same can be said about Garza. Why would he call Elise for help unless he wants to be discovered? Is it self-sabotage? There is a great reveal but it needs to be the central take. It's all a bit messy. As for the characters, I like Elise but not the boys especially Tucker. The girls are fine. I do like The Further but I don't get why Imogen has to throw the whistle to Elise. Couldn't Imogen blow it herself? It's a lot of nagging little questions. In the end, I like it more than I have problems.
