Whannell and director Adam Robitel double down on her origin story, giving us something more like a character study than an out-and-out demonic chiller
though skillfully directed, Insidious: The Last Key isn't as good as previous entries. Scares come hard and fast, but they're underserved by a paper-thin plot and characters
despite the indomitable Shaye's best efforts, however, new director Adam Robitel is rarely successful in shaking the cobwebs off this increasingly creaky franchise: "The Last Key" is wildly uneven, confused and confusing
after a reasonably well-executed prologue, one with good acting, dramatic moments, a genuine eerie tone and a visual landscape crafted with care, the rug [of cruelest scenes] is pulled from us
