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 Damond Fudge KCCI (Des Moines, IA) Insidious: Chapter 3 is a big improvement on the weak Chapter 2. Jun 30, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Jo P Possibly the worst horror movie I have ever seen, though I might be forgetting one or two, to be fair. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/24/25 Full Review Alexander S While Insidious: Chapter 3 maintains its frightening elements, the plot veers off in a less captivating direction, resulting in a mediocre film. Grading: C Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/20/25 Full Review Tommy D Terrible movie and terrible acting Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/18/25 Full Review Abby S Some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen. Very dry and not that enticing. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/25 Full Review Ry N. In this prequel, Elise helps Quinn after she attempts to contact her late mother in The Further but attracts a breathless old man instead. This feels more like a new story as Elise forms her trio than it does a third chapter, however, it was still fun watching her beat up on helpless malevolent spirits in The Further. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/10/25 Full Review Carlos M Es buena ya que explican la historia de la medium de la tercera edad que sale en la 1era y nos hace ver como fue su proceso de volverse habil con las presencias paranormales y como entrar a su mundo sin duda mejor que la 2 pero no mejor que la 1 la recomiendo si quieren entender mas de ese personaje ya que es importante para las siguientes Películas que hay Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/17/25 Full Review Read all reviews
