  1. Insidious: The Last Key - Movie Review@coldsteem3088d

    I am not a huge fan of the Horror genre. I was not a fan of the Saw films and typically avoid slasher type films. I do like Suspense and Thriller films, which often cross over into the Horror genre. The Insidious films find a balance between suspense and horror. I actually find these tolerable for the genre, although that should be taken with a grain of salt.

    Elise Rainer (Lin Shaye) is a psychic that helps people deal with unsettled spirits. Hauntings. But she is also haunted by her own past. Her father (Josh Stewart) was a correctional officer at a prison in New Mexico. The family lived in a house inside the prison compound. Close enough that the lights flickered when there was an execution. Elise was punished mercilessly by her father, who did not understand her gifts. At sixteen, Elise fled home and never looked back. When she receives a call from a man (Ted, played by Kirk Acedvedo) who has moved into her childhood home, she is forced to face her childhood demons.

    Elise heads to New Mexico, aided by her sidekicks Specs (Leigh Whannell, who wrote the screenplay) and Tucker (Angus Sampson). Specs and Tucker don't have any special gifts. They provide Elise with technical support. And a bit of comic relief. Tucker's weak pickup line is "she is psychic, we are sidekicks." It falls as flat as it sounds. The trip results in startling discoveries, an awkward family reunion and resolution of Elise's own haunted past.

    Insidious: The Last Key relies more on a story than blood and guts to deliver suspense and horror. It is a delicate balance. There are a few tension building scenes that use the sudden appearance of ghouls to tilt the audience off balance. But the story is ultimately based in quasi reality. Unsettled spirits seek a psychic to help release them from their ghoulish bondage. Along with a demonic bad guy that must be vanquished, of course. The pacing was pretty good, although the story itself was a bit contrived. Not the spooky aspects as much as the back story. This film treads a fine line, giving enough spooky chills to be scary, without going overboard. It was only moderately frightening.

    I don't have too much to say about the acting. It was okay. Shay, Whannell and Sampson have a nice chemistry, motherly maybe. You would think her "sidekicks" were her own sons. The performances were strong enough to complete the illusion, but nothing special. Kirk Acevedo stood out a bit. His role was a bit off kilter. Almost half spooked, half tweaker. Which makes sense given ultimate revelations in the plot. Films like this don't generally draw A list actors. But this crew did an adequate job.

    At one hour, 43 minutes, Insidious: The Last Key was just long enough to maintain steady pacing. It was the right amount of time. The film is rated PG-13, based primarily on the fact it is a horror film. There are images that would be disturbing to young viewers. There is also some child abuse, some strong language, violence, and thematic elements. If kids are subject to nightmares, they should leave this film alone. It is not as scary as most horror films, but the imagery is intense enough to affect those already prone to nightmares. Otherwise, the film was pretty tame.

    This is a tough film to give a recommendation to. If you are a fan of the Insidious franchise, you will likely love it, in spite of it being a fourth film in the series. If you are not a fan of the series, you may still find enjoyment in it. If you haven't seen the other films, it doesn't matter, it is a stand alone film that feels complete without the other backstory. It provides its own. The pacing was good, the scary moments decent, the acting tolerable, the script derivative, the special effects solid. I would give this film a mild recommendation. You can wait for it to stream for free. 6.5/10.

  2. 'Insidious: The Last Key' (2018)@showflix3090d

    I do not know which comes first: the title of the movie or the species of ghost. But Insidious: The Last Key provokes me to suspect that the title is a trick from the filmmakers just in case, making sure we do not forget. When you talk about the movie, the audience will automatically refer to "it lhoo, there is a Key Ghost".

    Speaking of the Key Ghost, as if his name had not been silly enough, his appearance was equally comical. Key Ghosts have key-shaped fingers.

    Just as his franchise is unrelenting, so is Elise Rainier ( Lin Shaye ), an insidious paranormal specialist who has died in the first film. Scriptwriter Leigh Whannell must have regretted doing so because Elise became what the likes of Insidious liked. Whannell raises him back in the third film that tells of Elise's old case. The Last Key completes by exploring the origin story of Elise as well as ushering us into the Dalton family in the first film. In short: this movie is a sequel to the prequel and prequel movie of the first film.

    The film opened in the 1950s, when little Elise ( Ava Kolker ) lived in a house right next to a prison complex and, of course, haunted. Elise saw it herself. His sister, Christian ( Pierce Pope ) is brightly afraid to see his brother who mumbles mystical things. His mother ( Tessa Ferrer ) considers Elise special and this is his talent. Unfortunately the father ( Josh Stewart ) does not believe in things like this. When Elise says she saw a ghost, Dad will instantly hit Elise and lock her up in the basement.

    This is where things go wrong, where Elise accidentally opened a mysterious red door.

    Long story short, Elise ran away from home. Not because he saw the demon superseram, but because it can not stand the abusive treatment of his father. We then return to 2010, when Elise (Shaye) has become a paranormal of success. One day, he got a request to cast out demons from a house. And the house turned out to be his home as a child!

    Of course, Elise will be accompanied by her two assistants, Specs (Whannell) and Tucker ( Angus Sampson ) whose paranormal competence is equivalent to her Scooby-Doo Mistery Machine crew. The horror is that these two men will throw a lot of funny jokes that are so crisp, I hope there are spectators who play the sound of crickets every time they try to laugh.

    When something supernatural happens, we do not need to be confused even though Instagram is in the cinema. Our characters will explain it by talking with ourselves or others, even though they already know. As if Whannell, who still faithfully wrote scripts, was afraid we did not understand what was happening on the screen. Hearing them doing this very often obviously makes me hot.

    Director Adam Robitel seems to be stuck in the rating of "PG-13/13 +" which means it should be more friendly than The Conjuring "R / Adult". But he is also mistaken. Playing a scene does not mean building a suspense, that's a long-winded name. Even so, there is one horror scene that is quite ingenious, that is when Elise enter the culvert to open mysterious suitcases. We know we will be given a jump-scare , but not in the way we think.

    To be honest, there is also an interesting part. The plot itself is actually pretty fresh. He touched the family tragedy. Moreover, as an ordinary person, I am still puzzled as to how the paranormal mechanism sees a ghost. When do they believe that what they see is a ghost? The look of the messy is not always a ghost right? This film uses it cleverly for a twist, although in retrospect, in character's motivation, it does not connect with the events at the beginning of the film.

    "The Further" is one of the most interesting creations of horror movies. In The Last Key , as the story progresses, the mythology of "The Further" becomes more confusing. I think it is fair that some of the audience is ready to wave, giving up the plot. This film contains many pieces that are not clear how to relate to other parts. Next thing we know at the end of our film is "The Further". I can not be sure that this is the worst Insidious movie, but I can say that this is the most insidious Insidious movie I watch.
