Sects are more of a nuisance than any other religious congregation inextricably linked to mass suicides or the search for the meaning of death. This new feature film, Insidious: The Dark Realm, picked up part of the underworld game mechanic: "live well, or die and wander in the darkness of limbo for all eternity running from killers." We waited a long time for the next installment in the saga, hoping it wouldn't be more of the same by bringing back the Lamberts after their failed attempt to return to the screen with a focus on Dalton’s adulthood. Look, if the solution was already there once, dragging up what was already finished only serves to confuse us all.
Although Patrick Wilson was at the helm, his direction didn't grab enough attention, and we tried to find something in this new Insidious worth talking about. This new family, consisting of a mother and daughter, comes from a lineage of family trauma involving the suicide of the grandmother, who was constantly tormented by something unknown. We were talking the other day about some redeemable clichés, and these were, at least enough to maintain the narrative pace and lead it to what really mattered: the lore of the underworld.
The information about the demons, the cult, the ability to travel back and forth, and whatever drugs they were smoking to understand how those three old folks walked the world without anyone putting them in a psychiatric ward were what kept me in my seat, eager to learn everything I could about what lay down there. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to know the backstories of certain demons—ahem, the girl with the rifle—but I suppose that would take away the mystery, so I can rest satisfied this time.
