and written by Leigh Whannell. It is produced by Jason Blum, Oren Peli, and James Wan. It is
the fourth installment in the Insidious  franchise, and the second in the chronology of the story
running through the series. Starring Lin Shaye, Angus Sampson, Leigh Whannell, Spencer
Locke, Caitlin Gerard, and Bruce Davison, the film follows parapsychologist  Elise Rainier as
she investigates a haunting in her childhood home.

Elise Rainier lives in Five Keys in New Mexico with her parents Audrey and Gerald and
younger brother Christian. Elise saw a ghost in their bedroom. Christian looks for a whistle and
their mother gave him to call for help, but he cannot find it. Gerald beats Elise and locks her in
the basement. Elise opens a mysterious red doorway and after that she was possessed by
a demonic spirit When Audrey comes to investigate, she is killed by the demon.
After 10 years Elise works as a paranormal investigator with her colleagues Specs and
Tucker. A man named Ted Garza calls, saying he's been experiencing paranormal activity at his
house. Realizing it's her childhood home, Elise departs to help him. While investigating the
house, Elise finds Christian's lost whistle, but it disappears again after she encounters a female
spirit. Elise tells Specs and Tucker that she had seen the spirit before when she was a teenager.
After this earlier occurrence, Elise fled the house in fear of another beating from her father,
abandoning Christian.
Trying to save Melissa, Elise searches the house and discovers hidden suitcases
containing belongings of numerous other women whom had been held prisoner, including the
young woman she had seen as a teenager. Elise realizes that like Ted, her father Gerald also
kidnapped women and held them in the secret room. The woman she saw as a teenager, Anna,
was actually still alive, and was later killed by Gerald. Suddenly, Elise is ambushed by Key Face
and her spirit is taken into the Further.

Imogen, who possesses abilities much like Elise's, enters The Further with the help of
Specs and Tucker. She is led by Anna's ghost into a prison realm where Key Face is holding all
of the souls he has taken, including Melissa and Elise. Elise realizes Key Face had been
controlling both Gerald and Ted, and feeds on the fear and hatred generated by the women they
kidnapped. Key Face tries to coerce Elise into hurting her father's spirit as revenge for what he's
done. Elise starts beating Gerald, but is stopped by Imogen and refuses to feed Key Face any
more hatred. Key Face attacks Elise, but Gerald saves her before he is stabbed by Key Face, his
spirit vanishing.

Key Face stabs Melissa, causing her physical body to start dying. He attempts to possess Elise.
Elise blows Christian's whistle, and Audrey's spirit arrives, vanquishing Key Face. With Melissa
dying, they move to find her body in The Further. They open a door and see a young boy, Dalton
Lambert. Realizing they opened the wrong door, they leave the door open and find Melissa in the
next door. Melissa's spirit returns to her body in the real world, saving her life. Elise makes
amends with her mother's spirit and says goodbye. Elise and Imogen return to the real world and
reunite with Melissa and Christian. Christian forgives Elise and she gives him the whistle.

far more terrifying. And while Insidious: the last key deals with plenty of ghosts and demons, it
also tackles the timely topic of abuse.Just like how Elise was beaten by her father and who
kidnapped woman.They are trying to solve the mystery from the past and find out who is the
devil behind this disastrous event and help the spirits trap inside the haunted house .

Setting : California and New Mexico


This movie got me good when I expect something will pop out in the screen but nothing
happened like the time when Elise taught something is moving behind her but it is just clothes
hanging in the cabinet but when she opened the third briefcase I freak out .
I'm a huge fan or horror and I enjoyed watching this movie because the story line is great. It
has a theme bravery which I appreciate and I love how it connects the main character back with
her family . I am looking forward to the next movie because I am disappointed the end of the
Insidious movies didn't end with a bang and some of the scenes are not good for the youth it
could affect their mental health because uncensored scene like killing and abusing. There's a kid
mercilessly being beaten up by her dad and I found those scenes unbearable to watch.
Entertainment value
The movie had a ton of jump scares and frightening moments, but it also had funny
moments . For the first time, I actually wanted to leave the movie at some point, because I was so
freaking scared for my life.
Aesthetic value
The film choose the right place which is very scary and dark haunted house ,actors and the
editing skills is amazing. The actor plays their role which make the movie more realistic and
scary .All the costume ,make up is terrifying which made me look away from screen and make
me scream .The background music and special effect makes me feel like I'm in the movie.

social relevance
It is okay to be afraid but you have to face your fear and overcome it .Be courageous enough
to escape from your past and move on .Be brave and turn your weaknesses to strengths and this
will be your stepping stone to rise again and climb again to the top. I learn all of this from the
movie and from the characters who put their effort to conquer their and challenges they
encounter n life.
