Before I started going all crazy about this movie, there's something that I wanted to say; I hoped it's a trilogy. Yes, deep down in my heart, I wanted it to be a trilogy, no more, no less. Why? Because Insidious: Chapter 3 is a prequel and it wrapped the whole trilogy perfectly.
Some say that it wasn't going to be a trilogy, but I believed in James. As long as it good, I'll pay for his movie.
Insidious: Chapter 3 was very good compared to the previous instalment. I really liked it. In fact, I wasn't alone on that thought. Usually, sequel sucks (Child's Play 3, Jaws 2, Scream 3, Cruel Intentions 2), but Insidious built up its reputation around character development.
As we know, characters are very important in a movie. In Chapter 3, at first I was like "Oh look, there's a new hot girl in town," but eventually, towards the end, I really cared about her. I do. Remember the movie Annabelle that came out a few months back? Yes, I don't care about the characters in that movie. "Oh, she's dead. Oh, another one is dead. Death everywhere!" and I can't stop laughing back then. Some of the characters in Annabelle were not important and it was kinda confusing, why James had them in the first place. Just saying, by the way. You don't have to agree with me, you know.
The other thing that I liked about this movie was its element of surprise. Being a horror extremist wasn't easy. I watched horror movies since I was little and to be honest, I missed being scared by a stand-alone movie and the good old days where I turned the lights on in the middle of the night. The thing is, James' element of surprises are very good. There were a few moments where I nearly knocked my Coke off (because I put it on the floor and the bloody seat does't have a bloody holder for my Coke) and I must admit, it was really good.
As for its storyline, it wrapped everything with a touch of bow on its top. I really, really liked it. It wasn't confusing, no cliffhangers, it does explained every little details that we missed out and everything was falling in line perfectly.
Honest to God, because of this movie, I'd like to take back what I said earlier; astral projection is a cool power (I'm a big fan of Charmed and yes, up until to this day, I like Prue very much). No, I don't want to travel or be in two places at the same time. Big no-no.
As a fan, I'm really looking forward for his new movies. James is a brilliant man and I hoped that he will stay in this industry by making more horror movies.
