An incredible film. My favourite conjuring movie. The 80's England vibe was captured perfectly. I love all of the characters and watching this movie play out. The music, the jump-scares the attention to detail. This movie is a masterpiece in my eyes and I can assure it will not disappoint.

My favourite movie of all time.

I love the Insidious franchise and have been obsessed for years, alongside the conjuring universe and anything James Wan!! This movie was disappointing for me, I was super excited after a decade to see the Lambert's family story continue, though this movie did not do the other 4 movies any justice. The movie itself began with 20 minutes of attempted character development and dialogue, being more of a drama than horror. As it got further into the movie, many weird attempted 'slang' and behaviour of modern day teenagers was incorporated in very dragged on, unnecessary, random scenes which led to almost every jump scare being 2 minutes too late on top of being predictable. The movie lacked it's known to be extremely scary vibe as it tried to answer the mysteries of the other 4 movies (the red door, etc.) and was strongly focused on the broken family life of the Lamberts, with *SPOILER* Renai and Josh's divorce (something in which I felt would not have happened to the characters). I feel Elise (despite her being dead), Karl, Specs and Tucker deserved more screen time as it was very much focused on Josh, Dalton and Renai, making this movie lack the original feel of the Further's mysteries, teamwork and meaningful connections shared amongst the original characters. I felt very strongly that Dalton's character was so different to him as a child and I did not picture him to be how he was considering he was hypnotised to forget all that had happened, though this could have been because of his father's absence. As we already know what happened to the characters, this movie is only mysterious for the characters and not the audience so it is really pointless that they recall what happened to them at the end of the movie as this is no surprise for the audience. On a more positive note, seeing the cast back together was legendary, their chemistry still intact! I also enjoyed the flashbacks from the original movie as we saw Dalton and Josh seeing everything that had happened to them that they were hypnotised to forget. I also absolutely loved how we were introduced to Josh's father (despite him being dead) to find that he also experienced "astral projections", showing how this gift was passed on within their family - broadening this father to son connection. Overall, this movie seemed to be quite poorly thought through, I was expecting alot more considering how amazing this franchise is and I am so sad that it ended this way :( No hate to James Wan or Patrick Wilson whatsover they're both amazing directors, script-writers and Patrick as an actor and I still love all of their work!
