'Insidious: Chapter 3', the first of two prequels to the original film, isn't very good, as it becomes a further step down for this series.

I like the place they go with this, with a look into what happened before the Lamberts appear. However, what is created to fill that void doesn't particularly deliver the goods. Compared to the other productions, this one has lesser acting, a not as interesting premise and barely any scares - though there is one important event early on with Quinn which did surprise me.

Quinn is portrayed by Stefanie Scott, who is perfectly fine in the role - I like her. Dermot Mulroney is OK, while it's pleasant to see Lin Shaye (Elise) and Angus Sampson (Tucker) reprise their respective characters. Rose Byrne and, to a minor extent, Patrick Wilson are missed.

Nothing dreadful, but these films are slowly dropping down the pecking order.
