Review of Insidious: The Last Key (2018) by Jessica M — 20 Jan 2018

The thing about the Insidious Chapter 4 is that the depth of Lin Shaye's character is on point, but the sense of distinct thrill that the original gave were absent. That balance between dread build-up while developing the character's dynamics with it as the story progresses were not present.

The jump scares is all what it could offer, and what might be an engaging tense field scene of the film were poorly executed. The Last Key is a decent enough entry for the installment that delivers quite effective character build-up with Lin Shaye's character (Elise) but if they wanted the franchise to shine once more, they've got to give something different with it than to give a flat humor and almost flat storyline that were only held up effortly with Lin's performance and character build-up.
