Review of Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015) by Misterks — 04 Jun 2015

While it's no better than the previous instalments, it's still a very solid movie. Fans might be a bit disappointed because it doesn't really reach the height of the first two movies. But, one can't deny that some of the scares works effectively, even better when the story slips in a bit of emotional undercurrents, which is one of the improvements this series has offered.

Leigh Whannell has a good eye in projecting a moody and frightening atmosphere, though what follows it are jump scares. Those jump scares almost dissipates the whole tension building. Luckily, we have Lin Shaye.

Elise Rainier has never been more than a caring clairvoyant. And here, we get the chance to see how vulnerable she was and what are her motivations to get back on track in being a ghost (demon) buster.

Stephanie Scott did a pretty good job and I hope I'll see her in future movies. Dermot Mulroney and the rest of the cast did well either. So, if you're just trying to find a good scare, I don't mind recommending this film.

Just don't compare it with the first and the second. It stands on its' own.
