In 2010 James Wan's 'Insidious' shocked movie theaters across the world with one of the most creative and downright terrifying horror films EVER! Now 13 years later Patrick Wilson directs and stars in the 5th installment to the Insidious franchise, Insidious: The Red Door. We cover Insidious 5 in a spoiler free review, and take you through the return of our beloved Lamberts, but even better... The Further! Oh, and Darth Maul, maybe... aka Lipstick Demon! (shown in trailers).
We then cover Insidious (2010), Insidious: Chapter 2, Chapter 3, and The Last Key, and then we give our Insidious films rankings including where The Red Door fits into this haunting universe!
We do spoiler the older films, so watch them first. And even if you never plan on listening to this but somehow stumbled upon it, please stop what you're doing and watch this incredible franchise. Insidious changed the trajectory of the horror film back in 2010, and for good reason! Insidious has one of the greatest stories ever told on the once silver screen, taking a ton of genre film tropes and absolutely turning them on their heads, repainting them, and having a blast throughout!
When the 33 violins cut through the air of my movie theater back in 2010, my life forever changed. I never wanted to leave the hellish purgatory that is The Further, I wanted to know more about the 'mannequins' and the other devilish inhabitants, and i loved and rooted for the Lamberts as if they were my own family. James Wan and Leigh Whannell crafted one of the greatest horror stories ever, please do yourself a favor and go get lost in this franchise and report back- I'd love to read your thoughts over a 5 star review! But you may want to bring Tucker and Specs along with you, along with the infamous Elise Rainier played brilliantly by horror fan fave Lin Shaye!
Eat your heart out horror fans, but remember, they want what you have... life.
We stand with the writers and actors. #WGA and #SAGAFTRA strike.
