Insidious: Out of the Further

The sixth installment in the Insidious franchise was released in theaters on August 21st and has already grossed over $60 million worldwide. A solid debut, but no match for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which has continued its box office domination.

The film follows a young mother who discovers that she can travel to The Further, but unfortunately, she can also bring evil spirits back to the real world.

Our own Ryan Cultrera found the film to be a pretty solid addition to the franchise. “In all, the sixth entry in the series brings great scares and inventive sequences, making it a fun watch to ease you out of summer and into the approaching Halloween season,” he wrote. “The pacing can stumble, and the film can get its own concept a bit tangled, but the cast, both new and old, bring enough charm, and the ghosts bring enough scares, to make this a fun, scary night at the movies. And at the end of the day, I’m happy to report, it’s actually one of the strongest entries in the Insidious series. A rarity for the sixth entry in a horror franchise.” You can check out the rest of his review right here.

However, our own Tyler Nichols wasn’t a fan. In his ranking of the entire franchise, Out of the Further took the bottom slot, with Nichols saying he was “genuinely pretty shocked at how bad the latest entry ended up being,” even hoping it would be the final movie in the series.
