Insidious: The Last Key

I chose the Insidious series as my Halloween Horror Series 2018© because I figured it hadn't had time to wither like some of the longer running horror series, but they were all just mediocre. I do like that the series eventually gets an old woman as the lead. The plot in this one is there are ghosts! Imagine that. Though there is one cool part where a creepy person they think is a ghost is just the victim of a serial killer. That's a good idea for a movie that they don't stick with at all!

Insidious: Chapter 3

A girl tries to contact her dead mother but accidentally winds up in touch with one of those evil demons who wants to possess a living body, you know the kind. When spooky stuff starts happening, the girl's dad gets in touch with the elderly medium from the first two Insidii - obviously this is a prequel since she died in part 1. One of my major gripes with these movies is that most of the scares just come from loud orchestral stings. Like that's cheap as heck!

Insidious

Moving into a spooky new house a bunch of scary stuff starts happening after a couple's oldest son gets knocked into a coma. Maybe the house is haunted??? Good guess, but actually it's their comatose son who is haunted! They call up a ghost hunter who happens to be a family friend to deal with the ghostly trouble. Like, in movies people always know somebody who can deal with a haunting! I don't know anybody like that - what am I supposed to do if I'm ever haunted, huh??? Back to the movie, the ghost hunter convinces the father of the haunted kid to take a magical journey to a haunted ghost realm to get his son back, but there are three more Insidii so I bet you can guess things don't all go according to plan.
