The Insidious franchise returns, but does it haunt or haunt-fail? Director Jacob Chase attempts a fresh start, ditching the Lamberts for new trauma-fueled chills.

While the scares feel repetitive, the legendary Lin Shaye remains the series' beating heart. It’s a stylish, albeit formulaic, supernatural ride.

Should you watch? Only if you crave familiar thrills and iconic paranormal investigator vibes.
