U.S. Release Date: 2015-06-05
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence)
Genre: Horror
Director: Leigh Whannell
Cast: Dermot Mulroney, Stefanie Scott, Lin Shaye, Angus Sampson, Leigh Whannell

"Insidious: Chapter 3" is exclusively for those desperately in need of a PG-13 horror fix.

This concept, although suitable for a short, is too thin for a full animated feature and wears out its welcome long before the end credits arrive.

Run Time: 2:50
U.S. Release Date: 2019-09-06
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity)
Genre: Horror
Director: Andy Muschietti
Cast: James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, Jay Ryan, James Ransone, Andy Bean, Bill Skarsgard

Combining the two movies, there’s a clear beginning and ending, and if the latter isn’t as strong or promising as the former, at least the entire story is told.

Run Time: 2:05
U.S. Release Date: 2020-02-28
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Horror/Thriller
Director: Leigh Whannell
Cast: Elisabeth Moss, Aldis Hodge, Storm Reid, Harriet Dyer, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Michael Dorman

During the movie’s second half, the narrative begins to rely too much on horror/thriller conventions. All the really good stuff happens before the 75-minute mark.

As an action-adventure film, this one is adequate but there is a sense that the production should be more special than “adequate.”

Run Time: 1:29
U.S. Release Date: 2024-03-22
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Nudity)
Genre: Horror
Director: Michael Mohan
Cast: Sydney Sweeney, Alvaro Morte, Benedetta Porcaroli, Dora Romano, Giorgio Colangeli

It is at times unsettling and the ending contains a strong shock element but the movie as a whole feels a little too familiar to engage its audience.

Run Time: 1:46
U.S. Release Date: 2024-03-29
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Robert Lorenz
Cast: Liam Neeson, Kerry Condon, Ciaran Hinds, Jack Gleeson, Sarah Greene, Colm Meaney, Desmond Eastwood

Director Robert Lorenz does a good job of generating suspense but his handling of smaller, character-based moments is uneven at best.
