Insidious: Chapter 3

[projekktor id=’18996′]

Insidious: Chapter 3 is the third instalment of the Insidious franchise started back in 2011. This film serves as a prequel to the other two and is the first to not be directed by James Wan. Series co-creator Leigh Whannell steps in to write and make his directorial debut. Insidious: Chapter 3 stars Dermot Mulroney, Stefanie Scott, Angus Sampson, and Lin Shaye.

The darkest Insidious chapter plunges audiences back into the otherworldly realm The Further, revealing how Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye) first braved it in her fight to save a young woman from demonic possession.

The character of Elise was (spoiler alert) killed in the second film, but Whannell was keen to bring her back somehow. “I love the character and I wondered how I could bring her back. Dealing with ‘ghost Elise’ wasn’t the idea; I wanted her alive! People enjoyed the time-spanning storytelling that we advanced in the second movie, and I felt that would help me find a story that gives deeper meaning to Elise’s journey. I started to devise an origin story, a prequel set a few years before the first movie wherein concepts central to Insidious take shape, and where we could explore Elise’s background. Once I started writing this, I fell in love with the piece.”
