I've never seen the first two Insidious features, but their marketing is always pretty memorable. Like most horror features in modern cinema, they rely on long pauses and jump scares, and this newest installment continues the tradition of the past in terms of both aesthetic and scares.
Welcome to Land of The Nerds, where I, Lisa Laman, use my love of cinema to explore, review and talk about every genre of film imaginable!

Tusk Review
I Am The Walrus Goo-Goo-Ka-AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!
Horror movies are in a rut. Scratch that, they've been in a rut for ages. For a time, the success of Saw led to most of the genre being inhabited by film solely focused on torture porn. Then Paranormal Activity became a phenomenon and everything had to be found-footage. The influence of The Conjuring is already being felt, with a large amount of features being centered around on spooky homes, families, strange noises and jump scares.
