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. 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.

Film Review: ‘Insidious: The Last Key’ - The film takes place a year after the events of the third film and follows Elise as she travels to New Mexico to revisit her old home in order to help a man from a deadly spirit that she says, she brought into the world.
I would have liked it more if I didn't flat out pay for it. It's worth watching with a cable subscription, but I could've gone without owning it. I bought the last movie as well and was a bit disappointed, but this was worse. I'm a fan of this series including The Conjuring the last two was just meh. It's good enough for a date night to just roll into the sheets and watch. Maybe get a good laugh from someone that's willing to talk during the movie and find the humor in it. Otherwise, it's just another meh movie. As a fan of the Insidious series, I purchased The Last Key hoping that it would be as good as the others, and in a lot of ways, it is. The final cut of the film wasn't its best form, in my opinion; watching the deleted scenes, I found myself wishing that a good many, if not all of them, had been included as part of the film. The alternate ending was interesting, but I'm glad they didn't use it. It seemed that the omitted scenes really fleshed out the the plot, and provided some excellent atmospherics and additional scares. I'm guessing that the film was trimmed to meet a set running time. I'm not sure if the Insidious franchise is enough of a money-maker at this point to warrant a Director's Cut of the The Last Key, but I believe it certainly deserves one. I loved this movie just like the other 3 Insidious Chapters! I missed it at the movies so I got it from my Library and man, did it scare me just like the others which I love! And I really like to do movie marathons with collections like this along with Resident Evil, Underworld, Saw, The Conjuring etc so I just had to get it since it was that awesome! You're gonna love it! While this movie did have quite a few jump scares, it did little in the way of imagination that the other previous movies have not already done. I have always loved how there has always been very little gore in these movies and things have been left to the imagination of the viewer. Something that has greatly set apart a lot of the James Wan movies. The ability scare someone out of their wits with an idea of what may come is still a very frightening thing. The movie is very good. We know that the heroine will live and save the day, although it does a thorough job at explaining where Elise came from what forged her to be who she is for the original insidious. The one question that it left me with was why didn't her mother come sooner when the whistle was blown by the other ghosts? The story is just as intriguing as ever, and the characters are still amazing. However, for the first 3 installments, I felt like they got better and better, with each being more terrifying than the last. In this one, though, I don't feel like that was accomplished. It fills in a gap, and that helps tell the story, and I had plenty of 'jumpy' moments. But I didn't have to sleep with the lights on. Lin Shaye put on another great performance for the viewers in my opinions. She has a knack for this genre for sure. And speaking of performances, I must give the little lady who played young Elise due credit. Ava Kolker was epecially stunning. At 9 years of age when this was filmed, she grabbed the audience by the shirt collar with her haunting cries and convincing reaction to getting beat with a belt. All in all this recent addition to the Insidious lineup did not disappoint! I love, love these Insidious movies. This one did not disappoint. I can't think of anything to complain about. One thing, the ending does give you an idea what the next one might be about. So rare to have really good and good quality ghost story movies. Do watch the first two first though. You don't have to, it will be great anyway but more fun to know the characters and their stories. I am a sucker for a good ghost story and the Insidious films never really disappoint. At this point, these are not great films, but if you're still watching them, you already know that. However, there's still a lot to like here and it's always fun inviting Lin Shaye into your home for an evening. This movie is a prequel and brings us right up to the start of the first one. A fun story and worth watching if you're a fan. I have all 3 of the other movies in the series and they still make me jump out of my skin when I watched them. I had expected the same from this one and have been looking forward to its release. However, I was actually disappointed with this movie. While it had a couple of scary moments, it lacked a lot of the intensity that the first 3 films had. And while it was still a decent enough film, I really wasted money buying the more expensive BluRay addition when it was brand new. I really should have waited until I could buy a used DVD of this film instead.
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. One thing, the ending does give you an idea what the next one might be about. The MVP of the entire movie is director Adam Robitel, who knows how to draw tension out for as long as possible and misdirect audience attention in order to allow a scare to come from left field. A movie that works on a deeply-visceral level, but doesn't offer the emotional punch that it should, considering the personal connection to the story's consistent hero. Tucker and Specs provide the film with its lighter moments as Elise's infinitely loyal assistants, but they also tend to force the story too far into goofy territory, which is partially a result of Angus Sampson and Leigh Whannell's on-set improv. I bought the last movie as well and was a bit disappointed, but this was worse. These two are the comic relief in the movie. So that approach does help in making you empathize with Elise which is an effective strategy in any horror film because the jump scares can only do so much, what's truly scary is when you feel scared for the safety of the characters whose journey you've insidious the last key review following, and that's what Insidious: The Last Key offers.
