About
You may like this if you enjoy paranormal sequels built around unsettling reflections and a skyscraper setting with plenty of dread, though Not for you if you dislike horror that leans heavily on mirrors, nonstop shouting, or the more violent direction seen here compared with Insidious: Chapter 3.
Pros: creepy mirror premise; practical effects; strong performances | Cons: relentless name-calling; uneven pacing; violent tone
