Movie Review: ‘Insidious 3’
Scary Prequel Will Have You Jumping Out of Your Skin
By Kam Williams
For The Skanner News
T
he good news about
“Insidious 3” is that
you don’t have to be
cognizant of the develop-
ments in the first two
episodes to follow this one’s
plotline. That’s because it’s
a stand-alone prequel which
doesn’t revolve around the
Lamberts, the family haunt-
ed by ghosts in the previous
installments.
The best news of all is
that, despite being rated
only PG-13, this harrowing
adventure was still scary
enough to teach me I can
scream louder than my
wife! Guaranteed to have
you jumping out of your
skin, “Insidious 3” is a cine-
matic throwback evocative
of an earlier era — when
horror-flick
filmmakers
cared more about subtly
sowing the seeds of sus-
pense instead of simply
splattering the screen with
gruesome slasher fare.
The film again features
Lin Shaye (“There’s Some-
thing about Mary”) as Elise
Rainier, the gifted psychic
with an uncanny ability to
commune with the afterlife.
As the film unfolds, we
find the inconsolable Quinn

turbing images and brief

concerned about her wel-
fare. Nevertheless, ghostly
activities escalate to the
point where Elise finally
agrees to get involved and
stage a showdown of a
séance.
Sure, the storyline might
read like stock fright fare
but trust me, “Insidious 3”
is one of those expertly-
edited horror flicks that
repeatedly shocks you when
least expected. Again and
again, it makes you jump
from your seat, then lulls
you back into a false sense
of security only to deliver
another jolt.
