Brilliant parapsychologist Elise Rainier receives a disturbing phone call from a man who claims that his house is haunted. Even more disturbing is the address -- 413 Apple Tree Lane in Five Keys, N.M. -- the home where Elise grew up as a child. Accompanied by her two investigative partners, Rainier travels to Five Keys to confront and destroy her greatest fear -- the demon that she accidentally set free years earlier.

Critics Consensus

Insidious: The Last Key offers franchise star Lin Shaye another welcome opportunity to take the lead, but her efforts aren't enough to rescue this uninspired sequel.

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.

Very quickly, it becomes completely mechanical.

2/5

Overall this is a predictable horror movie that relies on jump scares rather than mental darkness. Insidious may have run its course.

6/10

The film takes its sweet time in getting started, with an opening hour that tests the viewer’s patience and suffers from a distinct lack of suspense. When matters shift suddenly – and potently – it is a different matter.

You can expect the fun scares these films have provided over the last eight years, but after four films, it seems they are struggling to follow through in the last act. Providing a finale that is undeserving for a respected franchise.

It’s entertaining, and the main character is compelling, but this thing was really clunky and scattershot, plotting-wise. There are some good ideas here, but this feels like the first draft of the film. The structure doesn’t make much sense, and there’s weird lack of attention to detail. It’s not a disaster, but it’s one of the weaker Insidious films.

This movie was good if you love scares being the ENTIRE PLOT!!! There was almost no plot to this movie just mediocre characters and some actually pretty good scares. 3/10.

Not horrible, but the worst of the franchise so far. There are a few scenes that are truly creepy, but this is getting old.

Elisa opens a red door as a kid that held a demon and years later gets called back to her childhood hometown where she discovers her brother's family is under attack. This movie takes place right before Chapter 1 and give a good family history for Elisa. Every time this franchise releases a new movie it ends up further into the further and not in a good way.

Insidious: The Last Key maintains the scares that fans of the series have come to expect, but the plot becomes less engaging and even cringe-worthy at times, particularly when it attempts to inject humor. Grading: C
