Insidious 3 Review
I was eyeing this movie with a feeling of dread. We all know the, uh, success rate when we get to the third movie in a horror movie series. However, Insidious 1 was good, Insidious 2 tied in to one in a unique way which I loved, so I knew I was going to watch this one eventually. I was just waiting for it to hit Redbox.
I wish I hadn’t waited. I would have liked to seen this one on the big screen.
Insidious 3 delivers a high-tension experience that, even while it doesn’t utilize anything new or ground-breaking, is enjoyable pretty much from start to finish. Its actually pretty cookie-cutter, but I don’t even care! It made me jump, yelp, yell at the screen, and peek out from between my fingers. Unique? No. Good? Heck yes!
I enjoyed the fact that we got to see Elise’s backstory and personal development. I thought that some of the best scenes were the ones where she was by herself, or in the ghost world. The other actors/actresses were good, but Lin Shaye brought it on a whole ‘nother level, and I loved watching her go all kick-ass! Plus, lets face it, Elise is not young or creaky old, not gorgeous or diverse. She’s a kooky semi-old white lady that is in profession associated with Charlatans…and watching her find her own strength and fight because its the right thing to do is just awesome.
