Insidious The Last Key Movie Review

So I saw Insidious The Last Key a little while ago, and it was a pretty good horror movie, for the forth one in a franchise.
The movie follows Elise (Lin Shaye) a psychic that helps people with their paranormal problems, but this time the demon is in her old family house. This case that she is taking on is personal.
The timeline for the franchise is a little weird but it goes insidious 3, insidious the last key, insidious, insidious 2. I don't know if they are going to make a 5th film in the franchise, but its high enough quality that I think they could pull it off.
So in this one the acting is very well done. Lin Shaye plays Elise perfectly, and having four movies to get used to her character, she plays the character very naturally. The other cast members are also very good, but sometimes there dialogue can seem a little stale at times. I've heard that the comedy in this movie is really bad, but I'm here to tell you that it's not as bad as some people are saying, though I'm not saying that it's good, just some cringe and some laughs.
In horror films, the music score is so very important, and this movie has an amazing horror score that fits perfectly with this movie.
The lighting matched each scene perfectly and really captured the feeling of each and every scene. For the darks in this movie, I noticed that they went with more blue for their darker colors, and to me I find this a little interesting because blue is more of a drama color cinematically.
The fear is very effective in certain scenes, there are scares to be had in this film. Yet towards the end it becomes a little less freaky, and more interesting. That's the best way I think that I can put it for this movie.
In the end, I think that this movie is a great addition to the franchise. I might buy this movie when it comes out on DVD. If you are a fan of the insidious movies, you probably will like this film, and if you have never seen any of them before, I think you could probably follow along pretty easily. I would recommend that if you like horror films in general though, that you will probably like this one as well.


final score: 3.5/5

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi...

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels Season 1 Episode 1 Review

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels Season 1 Episode 1 Review  Had To Think About This One A Bit If you haven't noticed, I'm a fan of Penny Dreadful . I did address my early thoughts on the new series a little while ago , and now that it's out, I thought I would give my thoughts on the first episode. For the description I'm going to quote IMDB , " Los Angeles, 1938. LAPD detective Tiago Vega and his partner, Lewis Michener, investigate a murder. While at City Hall, Tiago's activist brother Raul Vega battles with the fiery Councilman Charlton Townsend over the construction of California's first freeway. Meanwhile, Peter Craft, the head of the German-American Bun, meets Elsa, the mysterious mother of one of his patients. Sensing danger, Tiago's mother Maria pleads with Santa Muerte to protect her family as the rising tensions in the city threaten to explode." From what I've seen from other reviewers has been very mixed. And here's my two...
