| A creepy hand with keys for nails is the motif on this poster for Adam Robitel's Insidious: The Last Key |
Demonic medium Elise gets called back to her haunted childhood home and must relive traumatic memories in order to understand the disturbance in the house.
Insidious: The Last Key is written by writer/co-producer/actor Leigh Whannell (The Invisible Man (2020)) and directed by Adam Robitel (The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014)). It is the 4th film in the Insidious franchise (2010; 2013; 2015).
Elise's bad memories never become truly lucid for us in this yawn-worthy entry in the horror series, which feels about ready to be put in its grave here. Lin Shaye (Darkness Falls (2020)) does her best, returning as Elise, but the material is preposterous and superficial. - And not terribly frightening.
