In Theaters: January 5, 2018

Happy New Year, everybody!  This week there is only ONE wide release.  And it's the VERY FIRST wide release of 2018.  Let's see if we can start the New Year right!

Just kidding, it's January.

Insidious: The Last Key

I'm gonna let you in on a little secret that might hurt my blog traffic until next month: January always sucks for movies.  Always.  The highest grossing January release of all time - I kid you not - is Paul Blart: Mall Cop.  Is that not the most tragic thing you've heard all day?

Now you all know I don't go for horror movies.  I'm not really into the genre, and almost all of it is total crap.  Once every couple years or so we get one that stands out, and that frequency is rising thanks to James Wan and Blumhouse delivering us from the "torture porn" era of horror.  They deserve our thanks, but that doesn't mean you have to go see Insidious: The Last Key.

It doesn't look like total crap.  This one probably falls somewhere between Unfriended and the first Insidious.  It looks passable, and for this genre (for this blog) that's high praise.

Once again, I have no idea what it's about.  You know, the usual.  Ghosts and apparitions, hauntings and maybe some possessions?  Spooky stuff.

Insidious: The Last Key is rated PG-13 for disturbing thematic content, violence and terror, and brief strong language.
