For the past forty years, Lin Shaye starred in more than ninety films and became a well-known and admired actress in the horror genre. She is probably most often associated with her role in Insidious.
Shaye plays Joyce, a single woman whose husband recently died and now lives alone in a large house with only her cat. After the death of her husband, she discovers that in the bank there is very little money and worries about how she will survive on her own. This is the kind of character she has never played before, and if there is a doubt, the film gives her the opportunity to prove that she is a very good actress. She skillfully switches between the sinister aspects of the story and the dark comedy elements in the film.
Joyce is shy and familiar and enjoys going to the library where she checks romance novels. He also likes to walk near a local park .
