Insidious: The Red Door Review – Don’t Open This Door

What’s scarier than watching a film with handful of people in a dark empty theatre, with breathtaking & terrifying scenes on the screen, that too when the film is the last part in the highly acclaimed Insidious franchise. Overall, the whole experience should be scary but here when Patrick Wilson directs the film, it tends to take different path to reach the horror aspects of the story.

Insidious: The Red Door it is the fifth movie in the franchise, it is effectively a direct continuation of the first two movies. With this fifth Insidious movie, we are going back to the Lambert family from the first two movies. After a few detours with the third and fourth movies, it’s all the way back to the original story.

The narrative continues nine years after the events of Insidious 2, so it’s close to being real-time chronology in that sense. This also means that it is a very good idea to re-watch the first two movies before watching this one. But its not compulsion that you have to watch the previous ones to understand this one.

Ty Simpkins stars as Dalton Lambert, while Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne are his parents, Josh and Renai. Also, his younger brother, Foster, continues to be played by Andrew Astor, who also gets a bit more to work with here. Little sister, Kali, was a baby in the first two films and is just in one scene now. This really is the story of Dalton and his father and the impact the terrible events of the first two movies had on the family.

Rating- 2.5/5
