Insidious: The Red Door
This is the fifth film of the franchise. The original, the sequel to the original, the prequel, the sequel to the prequel, & now this sequel to the first two chapters. Once again, we are back with the Lambert family as they deal with their repressed past. Father, Josh (Patrick Wilson), is now divorced from Renai (Rose Byrne). His mother, Lorraine, has just pasted away. His son, Dalton, is now off to college. Josh & Dalton don’t have the best father/son relationship & both independently begin having supernatural experiences of seeing & hearing things that can’t be explained. There are a few jump scares as the mystery of what’s going on is slowly revealed. I️ found this one more dark & murky than scary. Familiar faces pop up that will connect you back to the past films.
Alien gives it 2½ “artwork sketch” stars out of 4.
