Horror is absolutely eating right now. RESIDENT EVIL is sitting at 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, while IT ENDS and OBSESSION are both at 93%, SEND HELP at 92% and 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE at 91%.

The streak keeps going with HOKUM at 90%, BUDDY at 88% and BACKROOMS at 86%, giving 2026 an unusually deep lineup of critically acclaimed horror across completely different styles.

Even EVIL DEAD BURN, the lowest rated movie in this group, is still sitting at a solid 70%, meaning almost everything on this list has landed fresh with critics.

RESIDENT EVIL. BUDDY. IT ENDS. OBSESSION. BACKROOMS. HOKUM. SEND HELP. THE BONE TEMPLE. Horror really decided 2026 belonged to it.

At the theater about to watch this for the second time!!!

WE WENT BACK INTO THE FURTHER… AND WE HAVE THOUGHTS.

This week on the Couch of the Dead, we’re reviewing INSIDIOUS: OUT OF THE FURTHER, the sixth movie in the Insidious franchise.

Was it scary?
Was it worth the trip to the theater?
Does this franchise still have something new to offer?

Let’s just say… our final scores were NOT pretty. 💀

We break down the story, scares, nostalgia, callbacks, WTF moments, and whether Insidious: Out of the Further might actually be the weakest entry in the franchise.

PLUS, we put our Insidious knowledge to the test with a trivia challenge!

Watch/listen to the full episode and then tell us:

Did you love Insidious: Out of the Further, or does this franchise need to find its way OUT of The Further?
