Taken over by writer Leigh Whannell to direct the franchise, the theme does not divert too much from the previous two sequels, maintaining the usual plot development that James Wan did previously except a little bit surprising easy solution final act. Composer Joseph Bishara returns with his usual eerie, loud, noisy and irritating scores that help to boost the scare and the spooky effects, though not as terrifying as Conjuring and Insidious, it is still consider passable for its PG-13 ratings. Even though the performances from other casts are not really up to expectation, characters development are still fine while Lin Shaye's outstanding portrayal as Elise has given her sufficient room to be the lead role. It might not offer any fresh ideas to the franchise, but this warm-hearted frightening chapter stressing on the note of love and loss owns its moment that is not found in previous installments.
