In this modern age where no-one can keep a secret, not only is it a breath of fresh air that a blockbuster studio can pull a huge surprise hit out of its mystery bag once, but continue to do so for a second and even third time with the likelihood of more in the future. The emergence of J.J Abrams and Bad Robot’s aptly titled “Cloververse” – a cinematic universe of Twilight Zone-esque tales – have changed the way we perceive films from marketing, the groundswell of hype, the delivery of the movies themselves and all the way to hidden lore. And it all started way back in 2007.
I’ve seen it…it’s A Lion!
It has been the tradition for countless decades that a film will be announced via a theatrical or TV trailer which details the basic plot along with cast and crew being named.

It will be a surprise to no-one that, following the monumental box office success of the first Insidious film in 2011, we now sit here seven years later having reached the fourth installment of this modern horror franchise. As with most other franchises of this ilk (cheap to make and turn over a colossal profit), after several iterations, they lose considerable steam (I’m looking at you, Paranormal Activity). So one would assume that is the case with Insidious: The Last Key, however, that is not so as this series has astonishingly taken a turn for the better courtesy of its unlikely star, Lin Shaye.
Insidious: The Last Key sits comfortably in the timeline between Chapter Three and Chapter One meaning it serves as both a prequel and a sequel. The story explores more of the backstory of Elise (Lin Shaye) as nightmares of her childhood come back...
