Check out the Insidious: The Red Door trailer and poster below:
Insidious: The Red Door, which serves as lead star Patrick Wilson’s feature directorial debut, will once again shift the focus of the story to the Lambert family. Fans last saw them in 2013’s Insidious: Chapter 2, where Josh and Dalton decided to suppress their memories in order to prevent them from Astral projecting and going into The Further ever again. The new film will see the story pick up a decade after the events of Chapter 2, with Dalton heading off to college and coming to grips with his astral projection abilities as well as growing up.
The fifth installment will feature the return of Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring films) and Ty Simpkins (Iron Man 3) as they reprise their respective roles of Josh and Dalton. Insidious 5 is directed by Wilson from a script written by Scott Teems (Halloween Kills), based on a story from Leigh Whannell and Jason Blum. This marks the first time in the franchise that Whannell won’t be writing the screenplay. It will be produced by Blum, Whannell, Wan, and Oren Peli.
The franchise first began with 2011’s Insidious, which was directed by James Wan. It was a major success, earning generally positive reviews from critics and audiences and scaring up just under $100 million at the box office. Its success not only helped revive Wan and writer Leigh Whannell’s careers but also helped Blumhouse Productions continue its rise to its current mammoth status of box office champion.
