Insidious: The Last Key (2018) - Demon franchise lost in the shadows

♥♥

 

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.

Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015) - Whannell debuts with solid creeper sequel

♥♥♥♥

 

A girl frightened terribly, seated in her bed, makes up this effective poster for Leigh Whannell's Insidious: Chapter 3

A father and his teenage daughter and son are recovering from their loss of their wife and mother to cancer. But the girl's attempts at contacting their lost kin in the afterlife invites a demon close to them.

 

Insidious: Chapter 3 is written and directed by debuting Leigh Whannell (Wolf Man (2025)), who also co-stars in his returning role as one of the demon hunters. It is the 3rd film in the Insidious franchise (2010; 2013), a prequel to the two first films.

A meticulously told story with a good performance by Stefanie Scott (Beautiful Boy (2018)) as the main character girl once again succeeds in making an Insidious movie that carves out a place of creeping fright and scary moments. Lin Shaye (Waffle Hut (2021, TV movie)) as a psychic demon hunter is again a major asset for the series. 

Whannell makes a simple, well-made horror here.

The Invisible Man (2020) - Whannell's cold and disheartening modern version

♥♥

 

An invisible stranger lurks behind star Elisabeth Moss in the shower on this poster for Leigh Whannell's The Invisible Man

Cecilia gets out of a violent relationship full of fear, but soon she can breathe freely again, as her ex commits suicide. But somehow he doesn't feel like he is really deceased ...

 

The Invisible Man is written and directed by Leigh Whannell (Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015)), loosely based on H.G. Well's (The Red Room (1894, short story)) same-titled 1897 novel.

Cold and photographically fixed on distances between us, the characters and the action, this update of James Whale's same-titled 1933 classic with Claude Rains builds suspense and has its moments but is too long and builds up to an unsatisfying, depressing ending: SPOILER Elisabeth Moss' (Her Smell (2018)) Cecilia dresses in the sociopath's cloak to murder him in a modern, female "empowering" spin, which is actually unsympathetic. 

Aldis Hodge (Black Adam (2022)) is distractingly handsome and muscular as a friend in whose house Cecilia just sleeps over without their relation ever being elaborated beyond this.

[The Invisible Man premiered 24 February (Hollywood) and runs 124 minutes. The film began development in 2006 with David Goyer involved, later involving Johnny Depp and intended as an entry in Universal's Dark Universe, which was started and ended prematurely with the dismal The Mummy (2017), a major flop. Shooting took place in Australia, including in Sydney, in London, England, Toronto, Ontario and in Los Angeles, California. The film opened #1 to an 28.2 mil. $ first weekend in North America, where it spent two more weekends in the top 5 (#2-#4), before moving to digital channels, sped up by the ongoing China Virus pandemic. It grossed 70.4 mil. $ (48.8 % of the total gross) domestically. The 2nd and 3rd biggest markets were the UK with 8.8 mil. $ (6.1 %) and France with 6 mil. $ (4.2 %).

A toddler interacting with something unseen in the pitch dark is a scary motif on this poster for James Wan's Insidious: Chapter 2

 

Josh, Renai and their two sons move again following the traumatic events of Insidious (2010). But Renai experiences that the ghosts move with them, while Josh vehemently rejects this...

 

Insidious: Chapter 2 is written by co-writer/actor Leigh Whannell (Dead Silence (2007)) with co-writer/director, great Malaysian-born American filmmaker James Wan (Stygian (1998)), contributing story elements. It is the 2nd film in the Whannell/Wan Insidious franchise.

The sequel to the highly effective horror shocker seems like it was thrown together too quickly. Despite parts of it being technically impressive, it isn't very scary as such, and Rose Byrne's (Annie (2014)) Renai's experiences are so alike to the character's in the first film that it becomes somewhat involuntarily funny. Patrick Wilson (Aquaman (2018)) channels Jack Torrence (Jack Nicholson's legendary performance of that character in The Shining (1980)) and does well, but the plot is too complex, crowded with dimensions, characters and time travels. Another issue is that the film's inexplicably evil transvestite ghost doesn't measure up to the nightmarish devil from the original film.

Saw II (2005) - Bousman's effective reality show-like horror sequel

♥♥♥

A version of the poster with two cut-off fingers that the MPAA banned, for Darren Lynn Bousman's Saw II

A temperamental police officer searches out Jigsaw, the sadistic mastermind of the horrors of Saw (2004), but he then finds that the hooded psychopath has his own disobedient teenage son locked in in a gaseous hell with a group of ex-cons...

Saw II is written by Leigh Whannell (Saw) and co-writer/director Darren Lynn Bousman (Identity Lost (2001)).
The scenario of Saw II feels like the crazy life-or-death reality show that cannot be produced in real life. The new death traps draw inventively on claustrophobia, fear of needles, the inherent reluctance against cutting in one's own eyes, the fear of burning alive and more. The film achieves a high level of suspense due in part to the committed performances of Donnie Wahlberg (Dead Silence (2007)), who is good as the officer in question, and Tobin Bell (Buried Alive (2007)) as the diabolical lunatic Jigsaw.
But the script has some weaknesses: It seems incredible that Wahlberg smuggles mass-murderer Jigsaw out from confinement past all of his colleagues to locate his trapped son's whereabouts. The film's ending is too reminiscent of the first film's; it lacks closure and is unsatisfying. The smart thing about it from a franchise point of view is that it leaves the viewer in the condition of wanting more.
The mania of editing violently is intensified from Saw and annoys to some degree. Still, Saw II is a fair sequel.

[Saw II was released 28 October (North America and 4 other markets) and runs 93 minutes. Wishing to fast-track production after the first film's major success to have a first sequel by next Halloween, the producers bought Bousman's unrelated The Desperate horror script and developed it into Saw II. With a budget 4 times the size of the first film's, shooting took 25 days from May - June in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The film opened #1 to a 31.7 mil. $ first weekend in North America, where it spent another week in the top 5 (#3) and grossed 87 mil. $ (58.9 % of the total gross). The MPAA banned the film's 'severed fingers' poster but only after it was already released. More than 10k pints of blood were donated at the film's annual Red Cross-partnered 'Give Til It Hurts' blood drive. The 2nd and 3rd biggest markets were the UK with 13.7 mil. $ (9.3 %) and Germany with 7.5 mil. $ (5.1 %). It is the highest-grossing Saw film in North America and the 2nd highest-grossing worldwide so far, after Saw III (2006). The film debuted #1 on the home video market, selling 3.9 mil. units in its first week in North America, accruing extra tens of millions of dollars. The franchise returned with Saw III (2006), also Bousman's and Bell's next gig. Saw II is rotten at 37 % with a 4.63/10 critical average at Rotten Tomatoes.]

A terrified woman wearing a contraption that doesn't appear benign around her head, encompassed in darkness, and the curt title in screaming red color makes up this striking poster for James Wan's Saw

Two men wake up in a large, dilapidated bathroom, accompanied by a corpse. They are chained but learn through clues that the one responsible for their situation want them to fight each other. - But there is more to it than meets the eye in this sadistic puzzle...

Saw is written by writer/star Leigh Whannell (Insidious (2010)), with great Malaysian director James Wan (Furious 7 (2015)) contributing story elements.
An outstanding, brutal horror, Saw was also a game-changer for the modern horror genre. Despite the common conception, Saw actually doesn't have enough gore to qualify as a gore movie; but it did inspire a wave of other torture-filled gore movies that tried to copy its rapid-fire, flickering editing style. That style isn't my cup of tea, but Wan and editor Kevin Greutert (The Strangers (2008)) get the technique - along with many of the other ploys of Saw, - to work in their own right here in a plot that's rich on horror ideas and enthusiasm about the genre.
As the two central men in the bathroom, Cary Elwes (Indiscretion (2016)) is nearly unrecognizable, and Whannell is intense.
The lies run thick in Saw, and the film doesn't inspire feelings of great human warmth, but as horror it is excellent. The reveal in the film's end is fantastic, and the theme from Charlie Clouser's (The Collection (2012)) score is exemplary and helps elevate the entire film. Saw is a solid horror-thriller ride.

[Saw premiered 19 January (Sundance Film Festival, Utah) and runs 103 minutes. Inspired by Pi (1998) and The Blair Witch Project (1999), Wan and Whannell set out after completing film school in Australia to make a low-budget feature primarily set in a single location. Not securing finance in Australia, they traveled to Los Angeles and shot a 7-minute short for 5k $ around the 'jaw trap scene' from the script, with Whannell in the part wearing the trap, which helped hook talents and financiers to the movie. The two went ahead with a little independent company who promised creative control and 25 % of the net profits. Shooting took place in Los Angeles for 18 days from September - October 2003. Some of the film's style, incorporating still images for instance, was developed to cover for shortage of footage and other issues due to the short shoot and low budget. Lionsgate's initial plan to release the film direct-to-video was altered after great screening responses, and the film was edited from an NC-17 rating to get an R. It opened #3, behind holdover hit The Grudge and fellow new release Ray to an 18.2 mil. $ first weekend in North America, where it spent another week in the top 5 (#4) and grossed 56 mil. $, including a 800k $ gross from a domestic 10th anniversary re-release (53.9 % of the total gross). The 2nd and 3rd biggest markets were the UK with 12.6 mil. $ (12.1 %) and Italy with 6.4 mil. $ (6.2 %). Roger Ebert gave the film a 2/4 star review, translating to 3 notches harder than this one. The film made in excess of 89.1 mil. $ on domestic home video sales and rentals. It spurred a franchise of 7 sequels (2005-2017) and an 8th, a reboot, in the making currently for a 2020 release date. - All of the films have been wildly commercially successful, with only Saw VI (2009) making less than the first film (68.2 mil. $). Wan returned with Dead Silence (2007). Elwes returned in American Crime (2004, video) and theatrically in Ella Enchanted (2004); Danny Glover (Toxin (2015)) in The Cookout (2004); and Monica Potter (Parenthood (2010-15)) in 4 TV credits before her theatrical return in Lower Learning (2008). Saw is rotten at 49 % with a 5.53/10 critical average at Rotten Tomatoes.]

Saw III (2006) - Good performances in Bousman's grisly third trappings

+ Best Gore Movie of the Year

Unauthorized dental procedures are promised on this unpleasant poster for Darren Lynn Bousman's Saw III

The vengeful Jigsaw killer is free again, but dying from cancer. Assisted by sadistic ex-junkie Amanda, he continues his Christmas games of orchestrating general mayhem; this time focusing on a revenge-set father of a boy killed by a drunk driver, as well as his own head tumor operating doctor.

Saw III is written by Leigh Whannell (The Mule (2014)), with James Wan (Stygian (2000)) contributing story elements, and directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II (2005)).
Tobin Bell (Sophie's Choice (1982)) returns as the severely self-important, power-tripping super-sadist Jigsaw, and he and Shawnee Smith (The Almost Guys (2004)) are both credible as mad psychopaths. Angus Macfadyen (Alias (2005-06)) uses a gifted performance to make the vindictive father Jeff become an exciting character to follow: Can he forgive this or that person? And in time?
The traps are inventive and as gruesome as ever, SPOILER particularly the 'rotten pig grinder' and the so-called 'rack trap' are macabre and affecting. But also a hook trap in the beginning is truly hard to watch.
The narrative style is still not based on building scary, intense atmospheres, but instead on attacking with horror and fast cutting without stop. The dark, tawdry, hopeless aesthetic is also carried on as a torch, and in this entry we are led on many a flashback goose chase, which is somewhat confusing.
Saw III is generally good for fans of the horror franchise. SPOILER The ending invents an outer twist layer, which is very hard to believe in, (if Jigsaw is maintained as a man and not the devil), and it cannot avoid feeling anti-climactic, - although it does effectively plug a fourth chapter in the series.

[Saw III premiered 26 October (Slovenia) and runs 108 minutes. Development started immediately following the successful opening of Saw II (2005). Shooting took place for 27 days in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The bathroom set used in Scary Movie 4 (2006) to parody Saw was used. The pig carcasses were made of foam, latex and rubber, and covered in live, disinfected maggots and honey. The budget was significantly increased; from Saw's (2004) 1.2 mil. $ and Saw II's (2005) 4 mil. $. The film opened #1 to a 33.6 mil. $ first weekend in North America, where it spent another 2 weeks in the top 5 (#4-#5) and grossed 80.2 mil. $ (48.7 % of the total gross). The 2nd and 3rd biggest markets were the UK with 16.7 mil. $ (10.1 %) and Germany with 7.5 mil. $ (4.6 % ). The film is the highest-grossing over-all in the franchise, which now spans 8 films. To market the film, Lionsgate produced 1,000 posters that were colored with printing ink mixed with a small amount of Bell's actual blood. Blood drives were also pushed at some theaters as part of the marketing, which collected more than 23,000 pints of blood. The film sold more than 2.5 mil. units at the North-American home video market, accruing more than 25.77 mil. $ more. The Saw franchise ended with Jigsaw (2017), but is set to be rebooted with Organ Donor (2020), directed by Bousman, based on a story by comedian Chris Rock, starring Rock and Samuel L. Jackson. Bousman returned with Repo! The Genetic Opera (2006, short) and theatrically with Saw IV (2007). Bell returned in 2 videos and a TV-series before he hit theaters again in Boogeyman 2 (2007) - and later that year in Buried Alive (2007) and Saw IV. Saw III is rotten at 29 % with a 4.23/10 critical average at Rotten Tomatoes.]

The eerie poster for James Wan's Insidious, prominently featuring Ty Simpkins (Jurassic World (2015))

A family moves into a new house, where their oldest son soon after has an accident that puts him into an unexplainable coma. Meanwhile the house is haunted, but so is the next one that they move into. - Turns out that it's the comatose son who's haunted!

Rose Byrne (The Internship (2013)) and Patrick Wilson (Bone Tomahawk (2015)) have chemistry and seemingly play the terrorized parents, whose lives are under a malicious attack. Lin Shaye (The Penthouse (2010)) is also great as the clairvoyant brought in to solve the issue. Once the horror begins in Insidious, it works fast and pummels us good, despite most of its effects being relatively simple camera tricks, peppered with terrific, affecting sound work. Great Malaysian director James Wan (The Conjuring (2013)) is a master of ghost horror, SPOILER and the red-faced demon of Insidious is seriously scary.
We are terrorized to a degree that few movies can here, even if the small budget becomes recognizable in some moments of the film. The very end of the film is super cool and whets the horror fan's appetite for more. Insidious is a remarkable horror. It is written by Leigh Whannell (Cooties (2014)), who also stars as one of the supernatural investigators that also work as comedic relief in the movie.

Cost: 1.5 mil. $
Box office: 97 mil. $
= Mega-hit
[Insidious premiered September 14 (Toronto International Film Festival) and runs 102 minutes. Wan wanted to prove that he could make an effective horror that didn't rely on torture and gore, following his success with Saw (2004). Filming lasted just 3 weeks in April - May 2010. Less than 12 hours after the film's Toronto premiere, the US distribution rights and worldwide rights to sequels were acquired by Sony. The film opened #3 (behind Hop (37.5 mil. $) and Source Code (14.8 mil. $)) with a 13.2 mil. $ first weekend in North America, where it grossed 54 mil. $ (55.7 % of the total gross). Its 2nd and 3rd biggest markets were the UK with 11.5 mil. $ (11.9 %) and Spain with 7.7 mil. $ (7.9 %). Insidious is reportedly the most profitable movie of 2010. It has so far spun a 2013 sequel, a 2015 prequel and will get another sequel, probably releasing next year. Insidious is fresh at 66 % with a 6 critical average at Rotten Tomatoes.]
