According to AlloCiné viewership ratings, it does Insidious: The Last Key by Adam Robitaille, released in 2018, is the worst installment of the horror franchise with an audience rating of 2.5/5 out of 2070 and a press rating of 2.3/5 stars.
A prequel to the first two films, The Last Key focuses on the character of Elise. A brilliant parapsychologist is faced with the most terrifying and personal case of his history: he must intervene in his childhood home. With its many flashbacks, the film retraces the journey of the medium found in the first films of the saga.
The film takes place before the events of the first film and ends with Lorraine Lambert, Josh’s mother, calling her grandson Dalton, who is stranded far away, to help Lisa.
