10 Worst PG-13 Horror Films Since 2010

10. Insidious: The Last Key

When the first Insidious movie hit theatres in 2010, people were very impressed with this tale of otherworldly possession and were keen to see more. Alas, sometimes you can have too much of a good thing. 

The Insidious films just kept coming, with each subsequent sequel failing to reach the heights of the original. Things hit an all-time low with the fourth movie, 2018’s The Last Key, which was actually a prequel to film number one.

Elise Rainier, the parapsychologist from the first movie, takes centre stage, leading an expedition to root out the ghosts living in her childhood home. Viewers were pleased to see veteran actor Lin Shaye in a main role, but that was about the only thing they were happy about. 

The Last Key was indicative of a franchise that had run out of steam. The plot was like a thousand other haunted house stories before it, the other characters were so paper thin you could see through them, and the jump scares felt cheap and manipulative. That last part couldn’t even be blamed on PG-13, as all the Insidious movies carry that rating.
