10 Most Disappointing Horror Movies Of 2015 - Ranked

5. Insidious: Chapter 3

Like the Paranormal Activity franchise, Insidious€™s 3rd instalment backtracks in an attempt to pencil in the backstory for a main character, and once again proves it wasn€™t worth the effort. Both franchises revolve around a sliver of narrative that wasn€™t substantial enough to support sequels and spin-offs, but here they are regardless, going through the motions one more time, so it€™s not surprising that the characters are flat and uninteresting and that there€™s a €œbeen there, done that€ feel to the narrative. The film€™s most entertaining aspect came from God-fearing critics who took issue with the the concept of €œastro-physiology€, where one travels to the afterlife after leaving one€™s own body. €œMake no mistake,€ wrote one viewer, €œthe Bible is clear that anyone who even attempts to call upon the dead or consult the afterlife is an abomination.€
