Review of Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015) by Lou A — 31 Aug 2017
The film is certainly A LOT better than Chapter 2 was. I LOVED Stefanie Scott and Lin Shaye (Shaye is in this film more than she has been in any other Insidious film, and this one is almost her film. She is phenomenal, like always and gets some great butt-kicking scenes), and I found I really cared for Scott and the danger she is placed in the film (She really gets quite the beating).
It's still a little goofy at times, but this three-quel is clearly trying to bring this trilogy back into the straight-up horror genre. I really liked the family element brought into this one, and I liked the relationship between father and daughter (father played quite nicely by Dermot Mulroney).
Each character has a good deal of depth to them, which I appreciated. Chapter 3 certainly isn't as scary or creepy as the first 2 films were (It does have a few moments though), but I think it tells a better, more rich story than 2 did.
Chapter 3 is a very fun ride, and makes for a welcome addition to this growing franchise.
