Using bullet points, I’m going to give you my thoughts on ‘Insidious: The Last Key’, the latest installment to one of my favorite horror franchises EVER.
- Don’t like that the movie didn’t start with the terrifying score that has been synonymous with the ‘Insidious’ franchise
- There is an unexpectedly violent dresser kill just F.Y.I
- Just like in ‘Insidious: Chapter 3’, the ending in this one wasn’t that exciting and climactic as it was in the first two
- Specs (Leigh Whannell) and Tucker (Angus Sampson
) were funny again. Good as the movies comedy relief
- I see why the subtitle is ‘The Last Key’ but I feel it’s a very subtle reason. They could have come up with something better though
- Seemed less enthusiastic or eager to scare this time around
- Even went against using the frightening score, I mentioned about earlier, as often
- Whannell did a solid job writing the movie
- Pieces of the story needed improvement though
- Even though I expected it, I like how the franchise came full circle at the end
- Was a nice sentimental wrap-up for Elise (Lin Shaye)
- Love the series but it’s time for it to be done…at least for now
To Sum it Up: A nice emotional send off for the franchise if it’s the last one and even though it’s a solid horror flick, the quality slide for the series continues
