	Author	Review
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"A thuddingly dull prequel to James Wan's very enjoyable (and highly profitable) demonic-possession horror franchise."	NEG
United States	Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter	"'Insidious: Chapter 3' offers a relatable young protagonist and several key supporting players from the prior films in a nimble setup."	POS
United States	Brian Truitt USA Today	"A prequel story that puts the spotlight squarely on its leading lady and aims to be more heartfelt than horrifying (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Michael Ordoña Los Angeles Times	"'Insidious: Chapter 3' is simply not scary. Not a bit, not a whit. Except that the audience will be terrified of the next stabbing of their eardrums"	NEG
United States	Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"The Insidious franchise, after three attempts to exorcise its real demons, still can't seem to shake what really haunts it: the ghost of B-movies past"	NEG
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"Pretty much what you'd expect, from the musical riff under the main titles onward, but as a vehicle for veteran character actress Lin Shaye, it's a blast."	POS
United Kingdom	Cath Clarke Time Out	"Don't expect any spills or chills: this is more insipid than insidious (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
