What kind of watch this is
Adam Robitel directs this 2018 horror thriller, which runs 103 minutes and delivers on its tagline, "Fear comes home." Elise Rainier, played by Lin Shaye, is a parapsychologist who travels to Five Keys, New Mexico, with her team to investigate a claim of a haunting. The twist is that the house belongs to her family. It is a film where the walls remember you.
What the critics said
The numbers are unflattering. Rotten Tomatoes sits at 34% as of May 2025, while Metacritic lands on a 49/100 in December 2025. That is the territory of "mixed or average," which is polite for a horror movie that wants to scare you. The consensus notes Lin Shaye gets another welcome lead role, but her efforts cannot rescue the uninspired sequel. Sandy Schaefer from Screen Rant called it a "solid finale" with a "graceful final bow." Brent McKnight of the Seattle Times disagreed, noting that old franchises don't die; they just "unspool tepid, uninspired sequels in perpetuity.
How it did with audiences
$10 million in. $172.8 million out. The math is simple, even if the plot isn't. It became the highest-grossing film in the franchise, surpassing the second installment’s $161 million mark. It was also the first in the series to clear $100 million overseas. On TMDB, users rate it 6.3 out of 10.
What came next for the cast
For Lin Shaye, the credit list before this entry includes Dumb and Dumber (1994). The credits after include The Grudge (2019) and Insidious: The Red Door (2023). Angus Sampson had Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) behind him. He followed with Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) and Insidious: The Red Door (2023). Leigh Whannell had Saw (2004) and The Matrix Reloaded (2003) in the rearview. His next film credit is Insidious: The Red Door (2023). The timeline suggests momentum, not causation.
