Reception

Movie Music Mania wrote "it's difficult to determine how much to fault the composer for this, as his scores remain effective in context. Unfortunately, that's the sacrifice he makes in taking this approach."[9] Justin Lowe of The Hollywood Reporter wrote "composer Joseph Bishara assiduously attend to the critical musical details of this well-polished feature, contributing to the impression that the Insidious franchise may continue to benefit by branching out from its original premise, rather than recycling or returning to it".[10] Kalyn Corrigan of Bloody Disgusting wrote "Composer Joseph Bishara’s impact on these films cannot be understated".[11] David Crow of Den of Geek wrote "composer Joseph Bishara’s piano-smashing melodies" accompanied the film very well.[12] Michael Gingold of Fangoria wrote "returning composer Joseph Bishara largely packs up the screechy strings of the first two pictures and finds other ways to sonically raise the hackles."[13]
