Insidious: Chapter 3 (Movie Review)

(Will Contain Spoilers)

This is the third movie in the Insidious movie franchise and this movie is basically going back to where everything started. This movie is set during the time before the two other movies occurred. And we are getting a look into the past and seeing where Elise first met her team and is also giving us an explanation as to how and why this other female spirit from the further is after her. 

Going into this I didn't have much of an expectation because typically the franchise progressively grows worse the more movies are being added on but this one was a nice surprise! It had quite a few jumps scares, it expended on Elise's background and had a new take on the Insidious world. 

Quinn is a young girl trying to get in contact with her mother who has passed, however, instead of her mother Quinn has a demon that attaches itself to her and tries to steal her soul. When she crosses the street there is this old man in a mask waving to her, essentially, distracting her and thus leads to her getting hit by a car. She passed but then suddenly came back to life, however, part of her soul was stuck in the Further with the demon disguising itself as a old man. 

It was so strange seeing Elise afraid of using her gift. Over the years she has helped so many people and families to fight beings from another world. It was nice seeing her transition from being afraid and almost a recluse to being head strong and diving right into the fight. It was eerie seeing Elise being strangled by the old woman in the same manner that she passed in the first movie. But I absolutely loved it when she kicked her ass and showed that she was stronger and kept pushing on. I loved Elise's confidence grow and worked hard to help save Quinn from the demon. 

Rating: 

I'm giving this movie 5 stars on 5. The jump scares in this movie definitely almost kicked my ass! They were done really well and I would say this movie was scarier than the first one. I love how we got to see how Elise formed her little team and I wish that they would have done a tv show of Elise, Specs and Tucker and each episode focusing on a new case that they're working on. Overall, I loved the movie and hope to see more of their cases.
