Nur widerwillig hilft das Medium Elise Rainier (LIN SHAYE) der jungen Quinn (STEFANIE SCOTT) bei der Kontaktaufnahme zu ihrer toten Mutter (ELE KEATS). Rufe man den Geist eines Toten, so können alle diesen Ruf hören, warnt Elise. Leider kommt ihre Warnung zu spät, denn eine dunkle Macht hat es bereits auf Quinn abgesehen. Zusammen mit Tucker (ANGUS SAMPSON) und Specs (LEIGH WHANNEL), die sich auf paranormale Erscheinungen spezialisiert haben, nimmt Elise den Kampf gegen das Böse auf. (Sony Pictures DE)

So, no mercy this time. A movie I'd like to punch. If I clap in your face, you'll jump. Even if you know I'm gonna do it, you'll jump because you'll never know the exact moment I do it. Insidious claps about ten times like that, and that's its sole ambition. Everything else – the story, the characters, the setting – is subordinate to that. The camera pans to something, something screams into it, and the heretofore voiceless orchestra makes a KABOOM sixty decibels higher than the loudest sound in the movie so far. Just to make you twitch and then relax and laugh at yourself again. I never used to understand why anyone would voluntarily seek this out for money. Now, after all the Conjuring and Insidious stuff I've seen that has stolen cinema-space from any horror innovations and different approaches and yet always earns ten times its budget, I'm bitterly convinced that only a moron can go to the cinema for money to see this.

Intensive Schreckmomente von einer Gruppe, die sie am besten kann. Blum House ist für Horrorfilme das, was Pixar für Zeichentrickfilme. Das Finale ist schwach und das Handlungsschema einschließlich jeder individuellen Szene nur ein Recycling von alten Sachen. Deswegen ist es der schlimmste Film von den dreien.

Zwar stark, aber immer noch eine Drei. Mit dem ersten Teil nicht vergleichbar (das hätte nur ein Verrückter erwartet), aber mit dem zweiten Teil ist es fast vergleichbar. Whannell verwendet die gleichen Verfahren wie Wan (der übrigens in einer kleinen Cameo-Rolle auftaucht), daher wird man den Regiewechsel vielleicht nicht einmal bemerken. Zumindest nicht merklich. Whannell hat seinen Kumpel mit chirurgischer Präzision kopiert, sodass er auch dieses Mal überraschen kann. In dem Moment, in dem die Kamera den dunklen Winkel des Raumes fokussiert und anstelle von Musik tiefes Schweigen im Saal herrscht, erahnt man, dass etwas Schreckliches passieren wird. Aber es passiert nicht. Und wenn doch, dann erst nach längerer Zeit als erwartet. Das schätze ich auf jeden Fall, denn die Spannung ist in einem Horrorfilm wichtiger als billige Schreckmomente. Leider werden die jedoch auch nicht vernachlässigt und es gibt davon nicht gerade wenig. Glücklicherweise tritt in einigen Fällen der gewünschte Effekt "Ach – du Schreck!" ein. Aber um mich hier nicht zu sehr auszulassen... Visuell sehr gut, auch wenn insgesamt nicht mehr so furchterregend. Schauspielerisch sympathisch, die Masken der Geister angemessen gruselig (besonders der Großvater mit dem Beatmungsgerät) und überraschenderweise gibt es sogar eine Konfrontation zwischen Elise und der alten Bekannten "Die Frau in Schwarz". Die finale Abrechnung bot jedoch keine erwartete Adrenalin-Fahrt. Eher einen durchschnittlich beängstigenden Roadmovie Spaziergang. (60%)

Gesehen bei der Challenge Tour - Film-Hunting: Aufgabe Nummer 10 - ein Film, der dich schreckt oder vor dem du Angst hast. Für einen Teil drei mehr als gut, ich hatte stellenweise eine Scheißangst, und das ist es, was ich bei einem guten Horrorstreifen brauche und von ihm verlange. Das Drehbuch ist zwar nicht die Auslage des gesamten Films, aber ich stelle keine hohen Anforderungen an Horrorfilme, wenn ich fünfmal erschrecke, schlecht träume oder Angst habe, ins Dunkle zu gehen, bin ich zufrieden und der Film hat seinen Zweck erfüllt. Der beste Teil der Serie ist für mich bisher die Nummer zwei.

Solidly made, but this time unfortunately it’s an utterly uninteresting safe bet. The first one laid down the rules and introduced us to the Further and the second one expanded the story in an interesting way, but the third instalment just follows the path set by the trend in ghost/exorcism movies and doesn’t have anything that I didn’t already see in the previous two episodes, and better. For Whannell’s standards, the script this time is woefully unoriginal and unsurprising. Lin Shaye is still great, but she alone is not enough for a higher rating, especially if she lacks the support of the other stars, who unfortunately deliver weak performances. The demon is also great, but we don’t get to know much about it. The film is chock full of jump-scares – unfortunately, I must add, because they always erase any signs of an atmosphere. And the worst is that they go nowhere, the demon shows up, says Boo! and then leaves. Throughout the film I never felt that the heroes were in any sort of danger, that the creators will really let the demon kill them. A barking dog doesn’t bite. That’s probably the biggest complaint for a horror movie.

I must admit that I had expected a loose but very similar sequel to the first two parts of Insidious. But it never occurred to me that I might be getting a film that knowingly pokes fun of all those monsters, demons and nightmares. It’s as if the movie took the Insidious name only to make fun of it and it got away with it without any problems. On the other hand, I was saying to myself whether I should cry about those illogical plot holes or whether I should simply enjoy scene after scene. You see once two guys with the punk image of ghostbusters burst into the teen horror halfway through, the movie gains a whole new unique dimension. On top of that, the technical side of the film isn’t actually too bad. All in all, this is a film that you can’t take seriously and that’s how you have to approach it.

Gone is the ridiculous devil from the first one, gone is the overwrought plot from the second one and we have a solid (the weakest in terms of story = Who cares, it´s not a book bitches?) haunted house film, which this year will be rivaled only by Crimson Peak. The film has really a lot of jump scares, the last time I saw so many was in Drag me To Hell and I appreciate when someone goes full throttle (in exploitation films I want to see a lot of violence, in action films a lot of action, here again scares). The monotonous atmosphere reminiscent of a conservatory rehearsal is something nerds like, but for normal decent people the ned atmosphere is as annoying as the government. The film may feel cheaper than its predecessors, and the string accompaniment is not as thunderous as in The Conjuring, but the goosebumps, the chills down the back and the jumping out of your seat was inevitable (just as you can tell a good song by the goosebumps, so can you tell a horror film). Towards the end, I even shed a few tears with emotion, so the five star was decided. The biggest highlight is the passage through the Dalava, where the dead creatures are truly frightening – I'd love to see a horror film set only in this underworld. The oxygen masked villain is unbeatable, finally no pale girl with long black hair. Compared to the monotonous It Follows, this is a clear winner and the number 1 for the time being. 85%

Well made, but no more than that. Where the first movie was innovative and the second was interesting in terms of story, the third one is routine and repetitive. Whannell honours Wan's work and manages to produce a satisfying amount of effective jump scares, but he rather overdoes it in the climax, and the final exorcism of is a recyclate of the shoddiest nature. Does it matter that it's nice to look at and that the cinematographer, director and composer all deserve praise when they have contributed to a film that nobody needed to see, given its predecessors? 65% for the intention and the honesty.

I must say, horrors of this type are truly best enjoyed in the movie theater, preferably with as many people as possible. Even the way the film affects them is an experience in itself. Leigh Whannell might be repeating himself a bit, but even as a director, he skillfully balances the horror moments with the more entertaining parts, which this time are more towards the end. Thanks to knowledge of the previous films, you might enjoy the third installment a bit more, but as a horror, it will work excellently even for those who are completely unfamiliar with the series. As a starting point for watching, it's also great.
