![]() That said, pushing a septuagenarian front and centre can't make up for the series' largely by-the-numbers construction, which grows increasingly apparent with each new chapter. After all, how many franchises can say they have a 74-year-old woman as their star? A genre veteran with everything from A Nightmare on Elm Street to Critters to the Ouija movies to her name, Shaye remains as committed to her role as Elise as ever, including this time around. ![]() ![]() Indeed, thanks to the veteran actress, the Insidious flicks deserve a little more credit than they generally get. It's easy to understand why - as the plucky otherworldly expert tasked with helping ordinary folks battle literal demons, Shaye is the best thing the horror saga has going for it by far. In the second film, they brought her back via the spirit world, while the series' third and fourth instalments have gone down the prequel route. You don't need supernatural abilities to pick what they'd fix, with their decision to kill off Lin Shaye's parapsychologist Elise Rainier in the first movie something they clearly regret. If the team behind the Insidious franchise could have their time again, we're betting they'd make a significant change.
