Director Jacob Chase nails the polished horror series’ creepy vibes and an inventive dream world that could have benefited from a leaner story. If you’ve always been terrified of dental work and the idea of someone poking around your pearly whites with sharp tools, you’re not alone. With “Insidious: Out of the Further,” the sixth entry in the infinitely inventive “Insidious” horror franchise, writer-director Jacob Chase is unashamed to declare that he shares your fears, while having some gross-out fun with this widespread irrational phobia.
