Why it’s HorroRated

Insidious Chapter 3 is the most contained entry in the franchise and Lin Shaye is the reason it works. The prequel format gives Elise a story that hadn't been told and gives the franchise its most emotionally grounded entry. Quinn's encounter with the Man Who Can't Breathe is the series' most effective single creature sequence.

Synopsis

Leigh Whannell directs his own script for the first time in the series and the prequel format gives Lin Shaye's Elise room to develop as the franchise's most consistent figure. Quinn's encounter with the Man Who Can't Breathe is the series' most effective single creature sequence. A contained entry that delivers the series' strengths reliably.
