With The Last Key now in theaters, I recently hopped on the phone for a chat with Whannell to talk about penning the script ( The Taking of Deborah Logan's Adam Robitel steps in to helm this one). And at his side through every film has been Lin Shaye, the quirky ghost hunter turned leading lady who ended up being the inspiration for the latest sequel, Insidious: The Last Key. Four films in and struggling to find something new to say in the Insidious verse, Whannell cracked the story by leaning into Elise's backstory, digging into what makes the gifted empath tick, and giving Shaye a vehicle for one of the best performances of her career. The franchise mainstay created the international horror hit with his Saw collaborator James Wan back in 2010, and four films later, he's written and acted in every installment, and even directed Chapter 3. Leigh Whannell has been in the Insidious business for a while now.
