Critics Consensus

Insidious: Chapter 3 isn't as terrifying as the original, although it boasts surprising thematic depth and is enlivened by another fine performance from Lin Shaye.

Lenika Cruz The Atlantic As middling, somewhat serviceable horror fare, it delivers its own share of jump scares, but whatever visceral effect it might have had wears off the instant the credits begin to roll. Jan 21, 2016 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald Whannell does a creditable job with the film. He's not as bold as Wan about mounting a sequence, but he's no slouch about the psychology of screen horror. Rated: 3/5 Jul 16, 2015 Full Review Ben Sachs Chicago Reader The quiet stretches actually serve their purpose here, creating a sense of intimacy with the characters as opposed to simply marking time between the shocks. Jun 11, 2015 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Much like the Saw or Paranormal Activity franchises, the stories have run out but the filmmakers cannot resist making another sequel. Rated: 2/4 Jun 9, 2022 Full Review Emma Wolfe SpookyAstronauts The tension building was amazing. Rated: 7/10 Jun 1, 2021 Full Review Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See Completely middle of the road in every conceivable way. Rated: C- Jul 5, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Thomas N I can't believe this was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The writing and acting were terrible—it didn’t feel natural at all. The editing was just as bad, with awkward situations that completely broke the tension. Honestly, it was almost funny how predictable everything was—I could easily guess what would happen in the next 5 or 10 minutes in some scenes. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Audience Member thank GOD it makes up for the failure of the 2nd movie even a decade later it's just as scary as the original movie if not that much better and there's more direct focus on character this time around Lin Shaye gets another chance to shine as Elise who we see her beginnings as a contact of the dead; she's saddened by the loss of her husband and is afraid of the oncoming death from a demon that awaits her in the future so she has stopped using her gift to explore the Further things change though when a girl, Quinn is being attacked by a malevolent spirit while trying to contact her own deceased mother this takes place before the Lambert incident but it's a scarier look into the humble beginnings of Elise and her encounters with the dark dead phantoms I got a few decent frights I'll admit jump-scares and clichés aside 'Insidious: Chapter 3' is better scare-fest fare Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/06/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajudou a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Lloyd S Oooof.... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/01/25 Full Review Paul S It was not as good as the first two Insidious movies, and I found it really boring. There were some scary moments, but it didn't match the first two. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/09/25 Full Review James B Lin shaye is probably the saving grace of this film and is definitely the least interesting one out of the series but it's not to say it has a few scares. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Read all reviews
