Our take
The sixth Insidious horror entry follows a single mother who can pull spirits from the Further into our world, drawing demon hunters to her daughter. PG-13 jump scares, dental body horror, and franchise demon lore make it best for teens who handle supernatural horror.
Uplifting themes
Collider notes the film shifts toward empowerment, redemption, and forgiveness in its second half Gemma fights to protect her daughter with help from Elise Rainier. Amelia Eve's performance is praised as a desperate but determined parent
Story (may spoil tone)
Gemma, a young mother raising her daughter in the house she grew up in, discovers she can travel into The Further, where she possesses an ability to bring what lives there back to the real world.
