One failed attempt later and this pretentious non-film critic finally gets to see the latest instalment of one of his favourite modern horror franchises. Sure, the Insidious movies aren't for everyone, but enough people grooved on these flicks to produce a trilogy. Is the third time the charm or not? Stick with me! I've never understood the hate some horror fans have toward James Wan and Leigh Whannell's horror series. I've likened the Insidious movies to the Poltergeist films of our modern age. Likeable family + spooky spirits = good time. Granted, shit is very different this time around. But, if you didn't dig the first two chapters in the Insidious series, than you probably won't like the third.

The Insidious franchise leaves horror fans hot or cold. I enjoyed the first two films a lot, so it's a no-brainer that I'm down with a third flick, even if it takes things in a slightly new direction. That direction, according to the trailer below, is back to the beginning. But clearly not the first film. Before that.

Given that Insidious : Chapter 2 has earned about $150 million worldwide on a $5-million investment, it should come as no surprise that a third movie has been greenlit . Sure, one can argue that not every successful movie deserves or needs a sequel, but this is Hollywood we're talking about. Success = franchise, whether we like it or not. The good news, or bad if you're not a fan of these movies , is screenwriter Leigh Whannell is back behind the keyboard, so we'll get some continuity. What's unknown is whether or not director James Wan will return for a third go-around. Wan is hip deep directing the latest Fast and the Furious flick and has suggested he's had enough of horror. Too bad as the man is a pro, but you can't fault him for wanting to branch out. Insidious: Chapter 3 hits theatres April 3, 2015. Stick with us as the film develops.
