Even tho I still think the international trailer is still pmuch a total fuckin mess becuz it's very choppily edited & went crazy w/ the violins & needed some better color correction, not having the official trailer rammed down my throat 2 no end has made me ironically hope that this isn't a piece of shit becuz that trailer is INFINITELY better, so, I might actually consider going 2 c this 1 in theaters this weekend if I end up rewatching the previous 3 like I had already been planning 2 do.

The Last Key You Want On Your Key Ring As the OFFICIAL. worst film of the series, I'm crossing my fingers that it truly is. the FINAL film in the franchise becuz @ this point, it's become incredibly obvs that Leigh Whannell has run out of steam when it comes 2 being the 1 constant BTS driving force of the Insidious name. It's been long regarded that the cardinal sin of this series was killing off Lin Shaye FAR 2 soon when Elise is distinguishably the most interesting charrie of the series, i.e. y the past 2 films have been prequels attempting 2 follow her. However, the problem isn't just the fact that she's already dead, but how Whannell is literally incapable of writing stand-alone films 4 this charrie he's created. 1 & 2 r all about the Lamberts, 3 gave us the Brenners, & while this film SHOULD'VE been all about her after all of this build-up, it instead chooses 2 shove her in2 the BG 4 most of the movie (& inconsistently characterizes her personality & her powers on top of alladat...) while Specs & Tucker legitimately waste as much running time as possible on an incredibly uncomfortable storyline where they try 2 mack on 2 girls WAYYYYYY 2 young 4 them (portrayed fantastically by the 4ever slept on Spencer Locke & the surprisingly competent Caitlin Gerard, of Smiley fame...) as if it were a feasible avenue of "comic relief." So, while Ik Adam Robitel was a new addition 2 the Insidious family & his unfamiliar eye does become noticeable from time-2-time, I ultimately know I can't blame him 4 ALL of the faults of this when Whannell was responsible 4 writing the shit heap of a script that ft. that storyline 2 begin w/ (I honest wanna know WHAT happened in between 2015 & now cuz while I didn't like Chap 3 when I 1st saw it, Elise @ least FELT like herself there & Whannell fuckin directed it...). Granted, there R. some interesting ideas employed in this installment, such as covering more of Elise's past & some technological know-how that offers up a stand-out tense scene where the audio shifts entirely 2 the static of a ghosty device (& 1 scene in particular that I don't want 2 spoil becuz I LITERALLY didn't expect it in the best way possible). Unfortunately, there's ultimately just far 2 many cooks in the kitchen w/ an idea or 2 needing 2 be shaved off of the plot becuz it gives off a very Scream 4-ish rip-off tone w/ Elise returning 2 her hometown (just w/out the pay-off like Sidney had becuz of the film's inherently overstuffed nature...), which extends in2 the feeling that this is juggling 2 films @ once, that practically everything that goes down is all build-up w/ no pay-off, & that the ending rly isn't much of a conclusion 2 the story this specific film dealt w/ @ all. As far as Insidious films go, this is "by far the worst" ft. Jenny Randall, but, in terms of things associated w/ Wan/Whannell, u could also do MUCH worse. *eyes the Annebelles & most of the Saws* So, I'd say giving this 4.5 horrendously presenceless, key-fingered antagonists outta 10 is fair. As 4 the rest of the series since I revisited them like I said I would (but am not bothering 2 review cuz nobody got time fah dat): -Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015) - 6 unexpectedly hilarious cars ramming in2 clueless bitches outta 10. -Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013) - 5.5 women being bitch-slapped out cold for HRS by a campy ass ghost mom outta 10. -Insidious (2010) - 7 disjointed, stretched-thin finales ruining an otherwise competent build-up outta 10. Average Score: 5.8 outta 10 Lastly, my ranking 4 all Wan/Whannell-related works (sans the Saws, cuz I'd need 2 rewatch them 1st): 1) The Conjuring (only watched once, but I'm considering it the base-level top tier since I didn't ever hate it) 2) Dead Silence (the messiest bitch of all that STILL. manages 2 come thru more than most of the rest) 3) Insidious (I don't hate her anymore, but I don't love her neither, so, suffer in mediocrity) 4) Insidious: Chapter 3 (about the only earnest effort in giving Elise a storyline of her own & it's still not enough) 5) Insidious: Chapter 2 (still the hilarious mess it was back in 2013, just not as enjoyable, an Unfriended tea) 6) The Conjuring 2 (dreading my double ft. w/ this & the OG as I speak...) 7) Insidious: The Last Key (even more of an unnecessary extra installment than Chap 3) 8) Annabelle: Creation (INFINITELY overrated just 4 not being the absolute. worst) 9) Annabelle (just garbage, no tea left) |

"BUDDY THE ELF, WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE COLOR?"

I love theee movies and you actually only ranked them a little bellow me. Originally thouh I had 4 in second place. But after sleeping on it a while I’d rank the series 3>1>4>2. 3 still being the best for featuring the most interesting characters and because Stefani Scott owned the shit out of their role. In other news they’re crossing over this and Sinister supposedly. Which I want to see because it’ll probably be a fun mess. But should we place our bets now on if the person she saw at the end of Part 2 was Baghuul just because I’m counting on it because it would go there. |
