[It operates] only to either telegraph a jump scare with its silence or drown the viewer in a cacophony of noises that are far more annoying than unnerving.

Insidious: The Last Key is a letdown from its predecessor, yet not as much as Chapter 2 was after the first.

Insidious 4 is fun, smart and frightening, an engaging movie that has a handful of creative scares and although it trips a bit at the finishing line, the amount of heart on display for the characters and the fans makes it a thoroughly entertaining watch.

The film isn't a total bust, but having linked it back to the original film, it seems like a good time for creators Wan and Whannell to call it quits on a largely successful horror series before things get so stale it becomes an embarrassment.

Narratively, the film is a shambles. It feels like disparate ideas being stitched together in post-production.
