The quiet stretches actually serve their purpose here, creating a sense of intimacy with the characters as opposed to simply marking time between the shocks.

Tepid ghost story Insidious: Chapter 3 tries and fails to emphasize character-driven drama over cheap, jump-scare-intensive thrills.
Simon Abrams, Village Voice
Rotten
You sort of want to give the movie a pass. But given its distinguished forebears, Insidious: Chapter 3 doesn't quite live up to expectations.
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture
Rotten
They say the third time's the charm. Not with the Insidious series, it isn't.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

You need more than a few sudden noises and scary shocks to make a good horror movie. But "Insidious: Chapter Three" is at least an OK horror movie.
