※ Download: Review film insidious the last key


Blumhouse is certainly hoping this is the case for Insidious. Related Stories How this plays into the present-day story, in which Elise, prior to the events of the first Insidious, is hired to ghost-hunt her own childhood home by its current occupant, should be satisfying enough. If only it had some purpose and some story added to the part of the demon like in the first two, it might have worked.


These two are the comic relief in the movie. Elise has only just moved in with her kooky apprentices, but right after they wackily screw up her chandelier these are the jokes , she gets a portentous phone call from a man who wants her to exorcise his haunted house.

Yes, I too know the Siren call of a new horror film on opening night. That's not a good or a bad thing, it's just something you should accept now that you're presumably committed to watch the third sequel in a cheapo horror series. That said: when we last saw broody psychic Elise , she was more convinced than ever that she must use her ability to communicate with ghosts to help unfortunate home-owners who are too stupid to cut bait, and move into less supernaturally busy environs. And that's about it, that's their story. Now, Elise must return to her childhood New Mexico home to relive formative traumas involving the mysterious murder of her angelic, but powerless mother Audrey. Mind you, the house where Elise was raised overlooks some kind of oil derrick and a prison too. It's also where she and her poor brother Christian , who is replaced in the film's present day with the somewhat more mature were given corporal punishment by deadbeat dad Gerald , who may or may not have been haunted by a demon. Also, Christian has two adult daughters, and they're also in danger, even if they don't live in that one house. These shock-dispensing mechanisms are all so shoddily produced that you should know by now that they will inevitably go off the rails when they must wrap up with a good climactic jolt. There are even several moments where the filmmakers psych you out, and make you believe that something's going to jump out at you... Which is usually when something really jumps out at you. But in this film, you have to wait a little longer. Everything looks different, but nothing has changed: Shaye performs a thankless task admirably, and constantly looks vulnerable enough to cry at the drop of a hat. Whannell never develops his ideas enough to offer a sensible take on personal loss, survivor's guilt, or domestic abuse. But it's also good enough to feature a momentarily clever twist if you don't overthink it , and it's got a couple of good fake-outs. And it is awfully fun whenever you can contrive an excuse to turn to your neighbor, and discreetly whisper a joke whenever something silly happens even when it's not always intentionally silly.
