Alien at the Movies

In a prequel to Insidious 1 & 2, a young teen's desire to speak to her dead mother gets her more than she bargained for. The psychic Elise & those ghost busting boys are back too for more fright fun & spirit games. Depending on how easily you scare may determine your entertainment value here. If you have not seen or do not remember the first two films, you may not get some of the subtle references. There are some startling jumps but in general it's not very scary or terrifying. Nothing gory or disgusting. Some scenes are almost comical. True horror fans will probably be disappointed. It's typical things that go bump in the night as well as a body possession tale in a creepy hotel building.

Alien gives it 2 ½ "leg casts & neck brace" stars out of 4.
