Genre Research: Insidious: The Last Key

This movie has a lot of the conventions that apply to my genre. The first person, gritty scenes that really attempt to build up that important scare, the sharp, minor sounds that manage to invoke fear in even the strongest of people.. as well as the dark scenery that the movie tends to potray. Not only that, but the movie does one of the tropes, which is usually the 'jumpscare' or the horror in a film and that's one of the most important aspects of it. I really enjoy the whole psychological horror trope it plays into too, since horror fimls don't just have to be bound into one category of horror. I also enjoy the effects that are used to really emphasize the horror, for example the green night-vision effect that this movie uses occasionally. Also, the idea that a lot of things are most where you don't notice them is an amazing convention as well that is used in this movie a lot. The conventions that don't really appeal to me, though, is the extreme CGI or computer generated effects that this movie has occasionally. I'd rather prefer the natural makeup method, or most importantly maybe more natural effects to reach that same effect, because it makes it more believeable, and in turn more horrifying.
