Insidious: The Red Door

entertaining & had some good scares but the ending felt so rushed and anticlimactic, def an unsatisfying end to the series. however i loved seeing the lipstick demon’s lair and how art was incorporated into the movie

the insidious series was one of my favourites, i really wish they didnt make this.. kinda ruined the whole thing 😔

Worst of the series easily. Uninspired and filled with poor performances. Not really connected to the first two movies in a meaningful way.

Okay, this one is the worst of the series. Honestly don’t even bother watching 4 and 5. This wasn’t even a horror movie until the last 30 minutes, it was more so just a drama about the Lambert’s and them getting their memories back, which for a horror movie seemed way too boring and stale. I do like how these movies always loop back to one another though, and how this one goes back to the end of Insidious 2, but overall the movie was very mundane and bored me. Insidious 1-3 are for sure the best.

7,6/10

Rating: 6.2/10

With Wilson directing, I honestly had to see how he handled bringing the Lamberts back. I like this; it’s a spooky return to the family’s trauma that works, despite heavy jump scares.

What Worked:
• Wilson and Simpkins returning gives the movie an emotional weight I totally appreciated.
• Visualizing Dalton’s dark art bleeding into real life is super creepy.
• The pitch-black feeling of The Further still delivers the classic dread I wanted.

The Friction:
• The frat party stuff felt cliché and distracted from the spooky vibe for me.
• Explaining astral projection via YouTube was a clunky dump that really dragged.

Verdict:
I like this. Watch for a nostalgic wrap-up. Skip if family drama mixed with scares isn’t your jam.
