A fabulous cast who were quite mesmerising but the film loses its way. The movie starts off very strong, a serial killer is on the loose, Rami Malik plays ambitious Jim Baxter who is on the tail of Jared Letos character, suspect Albert Sparma. Jared Leto brings Albert Sparma to life as a charismatic, clever nemesis who is tying the police up in knots. Denzel Washington comes into it as cop 'Deke' from elsewhere who was responsible for the death of an innocent person.

The movie goes from being the police pursuing a suspect, the investigation, with flashbacks of Deke's past, to Baxter getting het up and suddenly losing it and doing a similar thing to Deke. It was as if the directors had one story going, it was too long so they suddenly cut it off with this ending.

I felt the ending was very frustrating, not what I would consider realistic.

Woh, this is one rollercoaster ride of horror, suspense, trepidation and mind-blowing effects. A lot darker than the first instalment. Set in a boarding school, Valak has returned with another rampant reign of terror.

As an avid fan of The Conjuring, Insidious, Annabelle and The Nun franchises I was excited to watch The Nun II. Having avoided spoilers I had no idea what to expect. Sister Irene returns, as does Frenchman Maurice and they both steal the show with super strong performances. The setting is dark, creepy and atmospheric within a girls boarding school.

There is character development with Sister Irene, which ties in with this current instalments storyline. It was very satisfying to get to know her a bit more.

We see more of Valek in this one too, played by the phenomenal Bonnie Aarons, who is incredible and a horror icon.

After watching this movie I felt like I had been through a mangle. It is a horror fans delight. Fans of the franchises I mentioned earlier will be very happy and excited that there is a post-credit scene.

I highly recommend this movie but not for the faint-hearted!

Wow! What a roller-coaster of emotion!

Having watched the INSISIOUS franchise from the very beginning, I was very excited for this final installment. With Patrick Wilson directing, I was keen to see what he produced.

I absolutely loved every minute of it. It is very dark, both in content and from a cinematography point of view. I loved how the camera constantly picked up on white shining bits in the eyes, in the gloom.

The story is set 9 years in the future. Josh and Dalten have been hypnotised to forget the events that happened in the year of the coma. However, memories are pushing they way through. Dalton is a beautiful young man, gone to uni to study art. He doesn't have a good relationship with his dad. Josh is struggling to cope with life because he has constant brain fog. They both start seeing things and begin to experience 'the further'.

Patrick Wilson manages to capture the true essence of fear, distress and confusion. He ramps things up as father and son begin to experience 'the further'. The trepidation is breathtaking, trying to keep watching when you know something is aboit to happen is a very adrenaline inducing plight!

Absolute cracking performances from Ty Simpkins and Patrick Wilson. Just a brilliant installment to the franchise.
