HONG KONG -- Clairvoyant Elise and her no-so-psychic sidekicks, Specs and Tucker, are back on the big screen to solve another paranormal case in the fourth Insidious movie.

Hair-raising scenes that make for good screamfests are a given in Insidious movies, but "Insidious: The Last Key" offers something new for the its fans as it makes room for some new characters and more heart-tugging story lines.

Here are some of the things you should look forward to in "Insidious: The Last Key."

1. Elise's family

The fourth installment revolves around Elise's "very difficult" childhood so viewers will get a glimpse of her family and the childhood home she lived in before meeting the Spectral Sightings duo, Specs and Tucker.

But since the movie cannot operate fully on flashbacks, Elise's other relatives will also get some crucial screen time.

"The things that Elise experienced, this is the first time you as an audience will hear what they are," Lin Shaye, who plays Elise, told ABS-CBN News.

2. New clairvoyant

Elise is not the only person in the movie gifted with the ability to travel into The Further.

"There are now other characters that could be explored, other characters with ability," Shaye said.

Previous Insidious films had other characters traveling between the real world and the paranormal realm, but the new psychic on the block needs less saving than the others.

3. Tear-jerkers

Emotional people be warned! You might have to bring a hanky or a pack of tissue because this Insidious installment may be more emotional than its predecessors.

"The hardest part for me was the emotion. It was a really emotional story. Going back to the sad past of Elise touched some nerves in myself," Shaye said.

"This particular episode of the franchise has a fantastic story to it.
There's the jump scares - which everybody loves and comes to see the film for. But there's kind of a mystery here, a mystery that evolves and that has an emotional attachment to it. So it's a little bit more complex and I think people will appreciate the film on a lot of different levels," she said.

4. Romance and kissing scenes

A romantic connection between a long-time cast and a new character buds in "Insidious: The Last Key," a genre that seemed to be not included in the first three films.

The love link between the couple is gradually built up throughout the movie without sacrificing the film's main thrust of solving a spine-chilling paranormal mystery.

Could Elise meet an old flame? Could Tucker have an ex-wife? Or could Specs hit on a lady ghost?

You'll just have to catch it in theaters to find out.

"Insidious: The Last Key" opens in Philippine theaters on Wednesday.
