Insidious: La última llave

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.

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.

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")

My scores:

Horror/Mystery/Thriller: 7.5 Movie Overall: 6.0

Characters Story Creep Factor

Dislikes: Dropped plot points Anticlimactic Ending Missing Trailer scenes

Summary: A fourth installment usually means a low-quality movie that is strictly for merchandising and money making. However, Insidious 4, while not the best of the series, keeps the tradition of horror storytelling alive by focusing on plot and character development rather than just plain old scares that the genre is famous for. Elise's backstory is fascinating, and helps connect some elements that were once shrouded in the mists of the unknown, and is presented nicely as past is integrated with present. In addition, while not the scariest, the group does a fantastic job utilizing shadows, make-up, and sound editing to establish a creep factor that will keep you on edge. All of this come together to make a nice mystery/horror that is worthy of the series. Yet, the fourth installment still has its flaws primarily in the scare tactics, (e.g. jump scare tactics) have gotten old despite their attempts to tune it up. In addition, the plot had some dropped and rushed elements, alongside an anticlimactic wrap up, that took away from the story overall. In addition, there are a lot of scenes from the trailers missing, some of which really could have added on to the story, or allowed for more creepy makeup to be used. Overall, this movie is a solid entry in the series and answers some of those lingering questions we have had since the whole prequel component was started. Yet, it does establish new questions and drops on the finish that could have really made the story exponentially better. And while the scare tactics are getting somewhat stale, Insidious is at least managing to keep things creepy and relevant to a point instead of just a super scare fest that this genre is famous for. It's worth a trip to the theater for the franchise fans, however, you can wait this out for the home cinema to save yourselves money.

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.
