The Hollywood Reporter's Frank Scheck has reviewed Insidious: Out of the Further, the sixth instalment in the horror franchise created by Leigh Whannell and James Wan, calling it a tired continuation that has moved past diminishing returns despite introducing a fresh set of characters. Directed by Jacob Chase, the film centres on Gemma, a single mother and dentist who discovers she can enter the "Further" — the franchise's demon-inhabited spirit realm — and even bring objects back from it, making her a target for a malevolent entity seeking to escape captivity.

The review notes some effective sequences, including a tense set piece in a child's pillow fort and a scene involving one of the villain's elderly henchmen, crediting Chase's experience from his 2020 film Come Play. However, it criticises the film for pausing to deliver a lengthy, clunky exposition scene explaining its mythology via a returning Lin Shaye as the late Elise Rainier, alongside newcomers Amelia Eve, Sam Spruell and Maisie Richardson-Sellers. The film, rated PG-13 and running 106 minutes, is set for release on Friday, 21 August.
