Insidious: The Red Door is an upcoming American supernatural horror film directed by Patrick Wilson in his directorial debut from a screenplay by Scott Teems and story by Leigh Whannell and Teems. It is a direct sequel to Insidious (2010) and Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013), and the fifth installment in the Insidious franchise. Ty Simpkins, Wilson, Andrew Astor, Rose Byrne, and Lin Shaye reprise their roles from the films. Hiam Abbass and Sinclair Daniel also join the cast.
After the release of Insidious: The Last Key (2018), Blumhouse Productions opted for possibilities to produce future films in the series, including a crossover with the Sinister series. In October 2020, the studio announced that Wilson would direct and star in the new film, with Teems writing the script based on a story written by Whannell. Filming begin in August 2022 at the Morris County and Madison locations on New Jersey City and was wrapped the same month.
Patrick Wilson (who plays Josh Lambert) is directing this? Really? Can he direct?
We are getting ahead of ourselves.
Although this is the fifth movie in this movie series, it is actually a direct sequel to Insidious 1 & 2.
It does take place 10 years after Insidious 2.
All the kids are bigger
The first part of the movie really shows off Patrick Wilson as a director.
It is obvious that the movie had been storyboard (pre-viz) I cannot fault (personally I would have added an additional setup scene, but I ain't no director) the first act!

Kudos to the way he setup Josh Lambert's father. How you can see his blurred image at the car's back window after the funeral
My, how Ty Simpkins had grown.
It is a shame we may not get to see him as the next Iron Man in MCU because it is now M-SHE-U...
The frst two acts were great.
I would have added a little to the third act

No back story to Smash face? Really???!
There are complains online about it being boring. I admit same parts of the second and third acts could have been trimmed and overall I thought the movie was a tad short!
If you like the first and second Insidious, chances are you will like this!!
I know I did!
That my friends is, My Two Sen
Ps: There is a pretty kickass cover of Shakespeare Sisters ~ Stay by Ghost (ft. Patrick Wilson) at the end of the movie.
Enjoy
