If you’re anything like me, you probably haven’t given much thought to what happened to the Lambert family after the end) of Insidious: Chapter 2. After all, their story seems to be over for good, and even the filmmakers don’t seem to particularly care, as they’ve moved on to two prequels. But since horror movies are money in the bank even in the post-COVID world, now Insidious: The Red Door is at it again, revisiting the original characters a decade later. You won’t be surprised to hear they’re underperforming.
Well, Rene ( Rose Byrne ) looks pretty good, because she’s wise to work with Josh Divorce (
Patrick Wilson, who made his directorial debut with this supposedly final film) After he tried to kill her and the kids. (He was possessed by an evil spirit after entering the spirit world called “Further”, but still…) And Josh’s mother Lorraine (Barbara Hershey, unfortunately only seen in the photo) has just passed away so we don’t have to worry about her anymore. Lurking: Red Gate
Bottom line it’s time The door is closed.
Release date : Friday, July 7 Throwing : Ty Simpkins, Patrick Wilson, Sinclair Daniel, Haim Abbas

But things aren’t going well for an emotionally out-of-control Josh, who is mourning a lost marriage, and his teenage son Dalton (Ty. Simpkins, who went on to play the role in the first two films) ), he had a strained relationship with him. To make up for this, Josh works with Dalton to repress horrible memories of past experiences with a handy dose of hypnotherapy, and he offers to drive his son to college, where he begins his freshman year.
Things don’t go well, and the sullen teenager resists his father’s attempts at friendship, which includes encouraging him to attend a frat party. Things improve slightly for both Dalton and the film with the arrival of Chris (Sinclair Daniel), a quick-witted young woman who’s been mistakenly assigned as his roommate. She becomes Dalton’s friend and confidant, which is no easy feat because his character doesn’t shine.
Father and son soon find themselves experiencing disturbing visions and astral projections of themselves into various PG- level dire situation. Director Wilson riffs on jump scares so effectively that you’ll wish your theater seats were equipped with seat belts. But the horror behind that infamous red door, filled with diabolical figures who look like understudies on the Kiss tour, is purely superficial vibes. The only truly disturbing incident was when Josh was trapped in an MRI machine; anyone who has ever experienced being in one of these hellish contraptions is sure to have flashbacks to their own panic attacks, even if it didn’t involve a horrific character interacting with you are together.
Screenplay by Scott Teems, based on his story with the show’s co-creators Leigh Whannell (he returns as Geek Spec), trying to bring the lingering guilt surrounding Josh and the eerie revelation of a father he never knew (which clearly haunts him now) injects drama. . But despite Wilson’s best efforts to deliver character-driven textures, none of that makes much of an impact.
Series fans will enjoy reprises of many characters from other films, including Lin Sha Wild psychic (she died in the previous installment, but death doesn’t prevent her from cameoing in films like this), though unfortunately the ever-popular Bourne was downgraded for secondary roles. Even Wilson gets less screen time than Simpkins, who is forced to take on the task of the film despite the fact that he plays the part really badly. Luckily, Daniel provides some much-needed comedy to an otherwise rambling affair, and Shyam Abbas (successes) shows her character as Dalton. The consistent authority of art professors.
Fans of Patrick Wilson are familiar with his excellent musicals, which they starred in in the Broadway production of The Full Monty and Oklahoma! Will want to stay in the end credits for a heavy metal song with Swedish rock band Ghost.
