Review of Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015) by Thewindowseat — 17 Jun 2015

It isn't a great horror flick, most of the scares feel earned, definitely not all of them, and there's a little too much subtlety for it's own good. But it isn't a bad one either, relying heavily on crazy loud banging and crashes in sweaty effort for cheap surrender of fear.

One scene in particular will actually keep you sitting still until it finishes, involving a lead teen played convincingly by Stefanie Scott, lying on her bedroom floor and looking adjacent to a pair of clawed feet walking toward her from the other side of the bed.

The 3rd installment in the franchise is actually a lot closer to the 1st one, despite it being a debut from Leigh Whannell, rather than horror veteran James Wan. This film gets him on base for me, I'll stick around and see what else he's got up his sleeve, fingers crossed for more neat tricks.
