I've said it before and I'll say it again, when it comes to horror Hollywood has lost its way. As demonstrated with franchises like Insidious, the Conjuring, Paranormal Activity and the countless standalone snorefests.
Just to give you some perspective about what I think of Insidious let's put it like this, 4 movies with a potential 40 stars total. Including the Last Key it's 8/40. These movies really are the pits.
So another prequel to the franchise see's the excellent Lin Shaye lead again, this time with veteran Bruce Davison in tow (Who is sadly not used anywhere near enough). The plot is that she's on a job in the house she grew up in and supernatural investigations take place and yadayadayada.
If you've seen the other films you'll know exactly what to expect. Generic scares, mediocre plot and pseudo "Other side" boredom. Seriously, are people that disillusioned that they think this is the pinnacle of horror cinema?
Sure they look good, they have a budget behind them and both Shaye and Davison are fantastic but the film has absolutely nothing original, interesting or entertaining about it.
When it comes to horror watch independent, Hollywood just don't have a clue anymore.
The Good:
Lin Shaye and Bruce Davison
The Bad:
Same.......old.......tripe
