Insidious: The Last Key

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.

The Last Key is filled with recycled ideas and imagery from the previous Insidious films. Characters will make decisions in one scene, only to inexplicably decide the exact opposite in the following scene. Most of the suspenseful scenes feel ripped straight from the previous entries in the franchise (or from other similar series like the Conjuring or Ouija). Worst of all, The Last Key seems to feel the need to remind of you of the other Insidious films and previous scenes with needless flashbacks and reincorporation. The humor is often misplaced, pacing is disjointed, but at least the score will be sure to remind you of when you're supposed to be scared.

Despite some cool looking sets, there is little to enjoy in this film. The Last Key is a bland entry in a tired series.

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.

The parapsychologist Dr. Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye) has nightmares with her childhood in New Mexico, where she lived with her brother Christian, her supportive mother Audrey (Tessa Ferrer) and her father Gerald (Josh Stewart), who frequently beats her when she claims that she sees ghosts everywhere in the house. When the client Ted Garza (Kirk Acevedo) calls Elise to ask for help since he is haunted since he moved to a house in New Mexico, Elise refuses the request since the address is the same house where she spent her childhood. However she changes her mind and accepts the job, and travels with her assistants Specs (Leigh Whannell) and Tucker (Angus Sampson) to New Mexico where they will discover an evil entity in the house.

"Insidious: The Last Key" is another spooky and scary film of this successful franchise. This ghost story is entwined with family drama of Elise and startles the viewer in many scenes. The touch of humor to break the tension is given by Tucker and Specs. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Sobrenatural: A Última Chave" ("Supernatural: The Last Key")

I must say the first 2 were gold that's for sure and others had pretty good elements mashed in well. An interesting view on Elises's backstory furthering showing how good of an actress Lin Shaye is she carries everything quite well! The acting and writing is much more bearable in The Last Key compared to Chapter 3 I'm grateful for that, unfortunate this one has the lowest ratings to me its a satisfying sequel to the series of Insidious. The voices are great, the thrill is well done, more seriousness than previous one was lacking this one does well, and the directing is great; sure the humor is one of the most added aspects I like it and glad to be caught on these thrill rides.
