Review 'INSIDIOUS: OUT OF THE FURTHER', Not Just a Franchise Complement

INSIDIOUS: OUT OF THE FURTHER officially premiered in theaters starting August 21, 2026, becoming the sixth entry in the Insidious franchise. Since its first release in 2011 under the skilled direction of James Wan, the Insidious franchise has gained widespread recognition thanks to the iconic figure of the "Lipstick-Faced Demon" that often goes viral among horror fans.

Sixteen years later, this franchise continues to expand its storytelling universe through various sequels and now a prequel, while still featuring Lin Shaye in her well-established role as medium Elise Rainier.

This film centers around Gemma (Amelia Eve), who raises her daughter, Maya (Island Austin), in the house where she herself grew up. At one point, Gemma realizes she has the ability to explore The Further, the realm where lost souls reside, which is the core of the entire Insidious universe.

Gemma's ability then develops into something much more dangerous. She can not only enter The Further but also bring entities from there back into the real world.

Despite this, the big question accompanying this sixth film is: can this franchise, which has been running for more than a decade, still bring freshness, or is it starting to run out of ideas? Here is the complete review of INSIDIOUS: OUT OF THE FURTHER from the KapanLagi.com editorial team.

This film also introduces new characters & new mythological elements to present fresh characters to the audience, while connecting the storyline to the previous films in this franchise.

In the first half of the film, the emotional relationship between the character Gemma and her daughter is well established, presenting a layer of more personal fear surrounding family loss, an element that is also a main strength of the first two films in this franchise.

Several scenes successfully evoke a deep sense of fear in the audience, especially one scene that taps into the common fear many people have regarding dental procedures, executed with disturbingly effective visual detail.

For loyal fans seeking instant shock and tension, this film continues to deliver a consistent portion of jump scares as expected from the Insidious series all along.

Some minor drawbacks of this film include the excessive screen time given to the 'creepy old people', a storyline that tends to be standard and predictable towards the end, and a disgusting scene in the dental treatment room.

Overall, INSIDIOUS: OUT OF THE FURTHER provides an experience that adequately represents the characteristic of this franchise: full of jump scares, effective disturbing visual details that evoke fear, yet accompanied by minor shortcomings in some parts.

Lastly, the editorial team at KapanLagi.com gave a rating of 8.5/10 for INSIDIOUS: OUT OF THE FURTHER. For loyal fans of the Insidious universe, this film is still worth watching & not just as a complement to the franchise's mythology.
