Ranking Every Movie In The Insidious Franchise
By CHRIS EVANGELISTA
5. The Last Key
“The Last Key” shows us the backstory of Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye), a psychic medium who has the ability to see the dead.
The film has Elise dealing with a haunting in her childhood home, but it's never very scary or interesting. Ultimately, this is the most skippable entry in the series.
4. Chapter 2
After the first "Insidious" became a hit, a sequel was inevitable. Unfortunately, when James Wan returned with "Insidious: Chapter 2," he stumbled.
This sequel makes the mistake of overexplaining everything. If it's even remotely mysterious in the first film, it is explained away here — and the explanations are rather boring.
3. The Red Door
A back-to-basics story, and a legacy sequel to boot, "The Red Door" returns to the Lambert family, the characters featured prominently in the first two films.
Directed by Patrick Wilson in his directorial debut, "The Red Door" is surprisingly emotional and features solid scares. It's a nice return to form.
