Insidious: Out of the Further, the sixth entry in the horror franchise from Blumhouse, introduces a new set of characters centred on a mother-daughter relationship rather than continuing the story of the original families. Written and directed by Jacob Chase in his first major studio film, it retains the series' hallmark theme of demons from the parallel dimension known as the Further, but its uneven pacing prevents it from delivering the fun, jump-scare-driven experience fans expect from the franchise.

The film follows Gemma, a dentist raising her daughter Maya in the same house where she herself grew up haunted by her mother, whose grip on reality begins to unravel after unsettling new neighbours arrive and she starts experiencing traumatic nightmares. Paranormal investigator Elise Rainier, played by returning franchise regular Lin Shaye, again provides the supernatural explanation, revealing Gemma's ability to travel into the Further. While the film features inventive scares, including a dentistry-themed horror sequence and a claustrophobic pillow-fort set piece, the review argues that its "bigger is better" approach of more demons and higher stakes results in spectacle that is less frightening than the franchise's earlier, more memorable moments.
