Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
Sex & Nudity: None.
Two teens flirt with each other at the beginning.
Violence & Gore: There is strong horror throughout as a teenage girl is haunted by a malevolent spirit. There are several jump moments as the demon appears behind curtains, pulls a girl from her bed, makes her walk on her broken legs and puts an eyeball deep in her throat. Other moments of horror include a ghost trying to strangle a woman, a demon trying to pull a woman out of a window and an eyeless figure crawling across a floor.
There are also verbal references to people killing themselves and sight of a body lying on the ground after a person has jumped from a window.
There is a car accident as a young woman is knocked down and some sight of blood on her face as she is treated in hospital.
A very disturbing looking ghost with an oxygen mask has the mask ripped off of his face, leaving a gaping hole in his face. Fairly disturbing and violent.
A possessed girl with broken legs smashes her legs against a bed until the casts fall off, then walks on her broken legs, with lots of cracking sounds. Fairly gross.
A ghost offers a woman a large scalpel, telling her to kill herself so they can be together. It turns out that it is not her husband, and she uses the weapon to attack the ghost.
A possessed girl uses a wrench to hit several peoples legs, causing them to fall to the ground.
A possessed girl almost slices her throat with a box cutter, but is stopped at the last second.
Profanity: One use of "f--k", and some of "shit" and one of "asshole." One use of "bitch", in a somewhat comedic manor. One middle finger gesture is shown very briefly
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: None.
Frightening/Intense Scenes: Rating: 15 for violence, terror including frightening images and some language.
Lots of scenes that build suspense followed by a very loud jump scare, usually accompanied by an extremely disturbing image. This happens numerous times throughout the movie.
A girl crawls around with stumps for arms and legs and no face (not bloody, but highly disturbing).
Surprisingly dark and disturbing, MUCH more so than the previous entries.
Story: After trying to connect with her dead mother, teenager Quinn Brenner, ask physic Elise Rainier to help her, she refuses due to negotiate events in her childhood. Quinn starts noticing paranormal events happen in her house. After a vicious attack from a demon her father goes back and begs Elise Rainier to use her abilities to contact the other side in hope to stop these attacks by this furious demon content for a body.
Likes : I'm not going to beat around the bush & say this film was brilliant, scary & intense because it was far from it, what i will say is that it was entertaining at least . Set between the first & second film which really this should of been a sequel instead of a 3rd film really show the story before (Spoiler Alert) Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye) died in the second film.
Elise is once again throw in to the paranormal world that she been trying to void for years to help a young girl Quinn Brenner (Stefanie Scott) that has become a target for possession from a very old nasty demonic spirit who whats to return to the living world . The film dose try to hold some sort of atmosphere which dose add to the tone of the film along with the acting which is pretty good as well to keep the film flowing at a stead pace so it not a boring film which is a plus.
The spirit world is the same as the other films so there isn't anything new here to see other than it in a different place the demon make up is pretty good keep with the ghostly concept, its actual the director & writer Leigh Whannell of the film that plays the demon , He's got pretty good acting skill's to play a creepy demonic spirit so good job there with that role.
The film dose have the odd moment where it dose get a little disturbing special curtain scene with (Stefanie Scott) some of them can be a little vicious, but has for the horror side in scary moments the predictability of the film ruins this which is a shame.
Dislikes : It the case of once you seen one you seen them all there isn't anything new apart from the characters its become a predictable film which is shame really.I feel this film could have been alot better than what was given.
It feels like a film that is to safe like sticking to what the other films offered instead of pushing this film further to be seriously frightening it really dose lack in the scary factor because this film failed to frighten me or make me jump so it really a average horror film that not bad but fails in horror.
Some may find this film frightening but sadly for me this just wasn't frightening at all.
The other reason as well this should of been insidious 2 & not a 3rd film since the story-line is between the first & second film.
Overall : Great entertainment but fails in horror it dose have its moments but overall pretty average horror.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 for entertainment / 6.1 out of 10 for concept.
