Insidious: The Last Key | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

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.

Director Adam Robitel creates a tone unlike anything his predecessors generated; mournful yet warm, the movie engenders sympathy for the characters even as the action turns somber or gruesome.

Unnecessary and far from noteworthy, Insidious: The Final Key should provide the final nail in the coffin for the film series.
