Billed as the darkest chapter of the series thus far, Insidious: Chapter 3 certainly has a lot riding on it. After two installments with the haunted Lambert family, the franchise is moving in a different direction and banking on Lin Shaye, who plays psychic Elise Rainier, to serve as the main connective tissue between entries.
With the movie in theaters this week and earning solid reviews (including three-and-a-half-stars from our own Matt Donato), we sat down with Shaye along with Chapter 3 writer-director Leigh Whannell and co-star Dermot Mulroney to discuss exactly how they went about making a prequel simultaneously designed to tell an origin story and launch Insidious forward in a fresh and frightening new direction.
Check out what they had to say in the video above and be sure to catch Insidious: Chapter 3 as it’s now in theatres!
