I suppose that doesn't really matter as it relates to this movie. Annabelle (I've seen both and didn't like them despite the sequel being an improvement), The Nun and Ouija (I've also seen both and also didn't like them despite the sequel ALSO being an improvement) all fit into this Disney horror mold. I like both Conjuring movies (more the first one than the sequel) and, as I mentioned, I liked Insidious 1 and 3. I've enjoyed my share of films that would fit into this mold. Again, that's not speaking about the overall quality of these movies, it's just an observation that these movies, as good as some of them may be, seem to play it safe in terms of its horror. I hate to say that these Disney horror movies play it safe, but they're horror movies that you can watch with your mom, if she happens to hate horror movies, because it's designed to be a shared experience with people who might not necessarily enjoy these movies to begin with. I don't mean that Disney is actually making horror, of course, what I mean is the fact that the Insidious franchise falls into this category of horror that's more easily digestible than horror movies like, say, Hereditary, Babadook, The Witch or Mandy, which appeal more to a specific niche of people. This is something I've been ruminating about for a while now and that is Disney horror.

So if there is a fifth movie in the franchise, would that mean that that one should turn out to be good given that the odd-numbered entries seem to have more effort put into them? I don't know, it's something pointing out.
This is strange, because the first and third movies were good and the second and fourth weren't.
It's better than the second movie, that's for sure, but it's not good. With that said, there's another thing I'd like to talk about and that is the fact that this movie isn't good. And I know it's more the name of the franchise than Lin Shaye, but let her have this moment damnit. And it's also cool to know that Lin, a 75-year-old woman, was the lead in the most successful entry in the franchise. I'm also incredibly happy that Lin Shaye starred in the most commercially successful installment of the franchise yet, because that means we might get more Elise-focused stories if the franchise is to continue. And given the fact that Elise's character has been the only one to appear in all of these movies, I'm glad that we got to explore her backstory more at length here than in any of the previous movies. I suppose I should start off with the fact that Lin Shaye is a legend and I am always happy to see her get a well-deserved chance to take play the lead character. There are many ways in which I would like to start out this review and I do not know where to start.
