Hooptober 11.0 – Insidious: The Last Key (2018)
Being Film #10 for Hooptober 2024 I’m not going to try and change your mind and say that Insidious: The Last Key is a great movie. The fourth entry in a franchise series is rarely its best. But what I will submit to you is this: by consistently changing up the main baddie (this one…
