The film was released in the United States on January 5, 2018, by Universal Pictures.

Plot[edit]
In 1953, Elise Rainier lives in Five Keys, New Mexico with her parents Audrey and Gerald and younger brother Christian. Elise and Christian encounter a ghost in their bedroom. Frightened, Christian looks for a whistle their mother gave him to call for help, but cannot find it. Gerald, furious, beats Elise and locks her in the basement. There, Elise opens a mysterious red doorway and is briefly possessed by a demonic spirit. When Audrey comes to investigate, she is killed by the demon.
Decades later in California in 2010, Elise works as a paranormal investigator with her colleagues Specs and Tucker. A man named Ted Garza calls, saying he's been experiencing paranormal activity at his house. Realizing it's her childhood home, Elise departs to help him. While investigating the house, Elise finds Christian's lost whistle, but it disappears again after she encounters a female spirit. Elise tells Specs and Tucker that she had seen the spirit before when she was a teenager. After, Elise fled the house in fear of another beating from her father, abandoning Christian.
The next morning, Elise, Tucker, and Specs meet Melissa and Imogen, Christian's daughters. Christian is still furious at Elise for abandoning him. Hoping to repair their relationship, Elise hands Melissa a photo of the whistle, telling her to show it to Christian. Later, Elise and Tucker discover a hidden room in the basement. Inside, they discover a young woman being held prisoner. Ted storms into the room and reveals that he is responsible. He locks the group in and tries to kill Specs. Specs kills Ted in self defense.
Sometime later, after police clear the house, Christian and his daughters go inside to find the whistle. In the basement, Melissa is attacked by the demon from Elise' past, known as 'Key Face.' Key Face sends her into a coma, with her consciousness now stuck in the spirit realm of 'The Further.'
Trying to save Melissa, Elise searches the house and discovers hidden suitcases containing belongings of numerous other women whom had been held prisoner, including the young woman she had seen as a teenager. Elise realizes that like Ted, her father also kidnapped women and held them in the secret room. The woman she saw as a teenager, Anna, was actually still alive, and was later killed by Gerald. Suddenly, Elise is ambushed by Key Face and her spirit is taken into the Further.
Imogen, who possesses abilities much like Elise's, enters The Further with the help of Specs and Tucker. She is led by Anna's ghost into a prison realm where Key Face is holding all of the souls he has taken, including Melissa and Elise. Elise realizes Key Face had been controlling both Gerald and Ted, and feeds on the fear and hatred generated by the women they kidnapped. Key Face tries to coerce Elise into hurting her father's spirit as revenge for what he's done. Elise starts beating Gerald, but is stopped by Imogen and refuses to feed Key Face any more hatred. Key Face attacks Elise, but Gerald saves her before he is stabbed by Key Face, his spirit vanishing.
Key Face stabs Melissa, causing her physical body to start dying. He attempts to possess Elise. Elise blows Christian's whistle, and Audrey's spirit arrives, vanquishing Key Face. With Melissa dying, they move to find her body in The Further. They open a door and see a young boy, Dalton Lambert. Realizing they opened the wrong door, they leave the door open and find Melissa in the next door. Melissa's spirit returns to her body in the real world, saving her life. Elise makes amends with her mother's spirit and says goodbye. Elise and Imogen return to the real world and reunite with Melissa and Christian. Christian forgives Elise and she gives him the whistle.
In her sleep, Elise sees a vision of Dalton and a red-faced demon. Elise, Audrey and Melissa had left the *red door* open when they had mistakenly opened it which had helped the Red Faced demon to enter into the living world. She wakens and receives a call from a woman named Lorraine. Elise had helped her son years earlier, and now her grandson Dalton needs the same help. Elise agrees to help.
Cast[edit]
Additionally, Ty Simpkins, Rose Byrne, Barbara Hershey, and Patrick Wilson reprise their roles as Dalton Lambert, Renai Lambert, Lorraine Lambert, and Josh Lambert, respectively, from the first two films, in archive footage.
Production[edit]Development[edit]
Prior to the release of Insidious: Chapter 3, Leigh Whannell was asked,
If there is a Insidious: Chapter 4, would that be a sequel to Chapter 3, another prequel to the original or will it continue in this timeline or go to a whole new timeline?
Whannell replied,
I don't know. I haven't really thought about it yet. But for the purposes of this interview, I'll say that I'd like to explore the time between this film and the first film. That whole area there where Elise has rediscovered her gift, I think you could have a lot of adventures before she arrives. So I think there is a lot of room there. We've kind of established Lin [Shaye] in this particular film as kind of this superhero, so that would be kind of interesting to explore in the other films.
On May 16, 2016, it was announced that Chapter 4 would have an October 20, 2017, release date with Whannell writing, Jason Blum, Oren Peli and James Wan producing, Adam Robitel directing, and Lin Shaye returning to reprise her role as Elise Rainier.[5][6]

And with the fourth chapter, Insidious: The Last Key, this saga is on a familiar path.'[16] Emily Yoshida of New York Magazine noted how 'the fourth installment of Leigh Whannell's ghost-and-mediums horror series wraps up its own free-association illogic with an impenetrable tangle of woo-woo spirit-world mechanics and lingo',[17] while John DeFore of Hollywood Reporter faulted the film's delivery of 'the boos' as remaining 'cheap and arbitrary.'[18]

The trailer for Insidious: Chapter 4 is expected to drop very shortly, having just been officially rated, and may also have a new title to boot. One of the foremost franchises in the new generation of jump scare-heavy horror movies, Insidious tells the story of parapsychologist Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye) and her experiences with The Further, an otherworldly plane for ghosts and other supernatural beings that can be accessed via astral projection. As inhabitants of The Further torment the living, Elise puts her own life on the line in order to help those being plagued or possessed by these pesky poltergeists.

While Insidious: Chapter 2 acted as a direct sequel to the original, Chapter 3 was an Elise-centric prequel that focused on the earlier adventures of the investigator and her two bumbling sidekicks Specs (Leigh Whannell) and Tucker (Angus Sampson). Insidious 3 ended with Elise discovering an entity had begun haunting her personally and this cliffhanger acts as a starting point for the fourth outing. Shaye, Whannell and Sampson are all reprising their roles, with Adam Robitel calling the shots behind the camera. Leigh Whannell has also written the script.

The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) have now announced that the trailer has been officially rated, suggesting that the clip's release is imminent. The trailer clocks in at 61 seconds and was passed by the board uncut, most likely in time to be shown alongside IT. Somewhat more significantly, the trailer is listed under the title Insidious: The Last Key, suggesting that the franchise's fourth installment will break away from the traditional Chapter titles and employ a subtitle for the first time.
Although The Last Key will almost certainly be Insidious 4's official title in the U.K., it's worth noting that the name is taken from the British ratings board and therefore it's possible that there will be a different title for the U.S. and worldwide releases. Nevertheless, the titular 'last key' will surely prove pivotal to the plot of Insidious 4, particularly when you consider that this installment focuses on Elise's own haunting and will likely be a very personal story as a result. [UPDATE: The Last Key subtitle has also been used in marketing promoting the Insidious-themed maze as part of Universal Studios Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights this year, further suggesting that this could be the film's U.S. title.]

The Insidious franchise has proved highly lucrative thus far but every movie series has a point of expiry and there's an argument to be made that Insidious: The Last Key is that very point. Given that moviegoers have already seen both an Insidious sequel and prequel, the fact that the fourth movie is essentially a sequel-to-the-prequel may be a stretch too far for some, as Blumhouse Productions continue their attempts to avoid the issue of Elise being killed off in the first film.
