The duo addressed the most crucial question a lot of people have on their mind about the prequel to Insidious: how will it compare with the previous two movies.

While answering the question Whannell was humble, giving James Wan, the director of the first two films his due, and stating that he thought Wan was the best director in the modern horror genre today. Wan collaborated with Whannell, who wrote the films, for the first two Insidious movies and the Saw series. Whannell particularly complimented the Wan helmed The Conjuring. But he did say that Chapter 3 will be slightly similar to the original.

Insidious Chapter 3 To 'Dig Into Elise's Back Story'  

"I really think he's [Wan] a master of putting these scenes together. So I felt like it was a really big set of shoes to fill," he said. "So I just tried to equal. And I think, from what we've heard, it really does equal the first film in terms of those shocks."

Shaye was more generous about complimenting Whanell's work on Chapter 3, stating that the film will distinguish itself. She revealed that the difference of horror in the third instalment is different from the first two.

"There is still the traditional scares, and builds to scares, and builds to the jangles. I think it deals with the themes of human loss, and the way the demon, "The Man Who Can't Breathe," is almost a recognizable figure," she said. "Leigh talks to him as the embodiment of cancer, and I got to say, unfortunately, it gives me chills. Almost everybody in this room has had some brush of some element with that person, even though he is as evil as he is, there is some reality to who this demon is. It is not a red face demon. It is not a lipstick demon. It's not some guy with hooves, it is some real guy who has been in the hospital. I think that those elements on some level make it scarier in a different kind of way."

The film also stars Dermot Mulroney and Stefanie Scott.

Insidious: Chapter 3 will hit theaters on April 3, 2015.
