This next episode is going to be a horror movie, which is called "Insidious: The Red Door", the last film from Insidious Saga.

Insidious: The Red Door is an American supernatural horror film directed by Patrick Wilson in his directorial debut from a screenplay by Scott Teems and a story by Leigh Whannell. It is a direct sequel to Insidious (2010) and Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013), and the fifth installment in the Insidious franchise.

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.

Insidious: The Red Door is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 7, 2023, by Sony Pictures Releasing.

(SPOILERS: This is the whole plot of the movie, watch the movie first before reading this review)
Plot:

"Nine years after his possession, Josh Lambert’s memories of his experience in The Further have been repressed. He is divorced from his wife Renai and his mother Lorraine has recently died. His relationship with his son Dalton has become strained and he attempts to heal things between them while dropping him off at college but it ends with them in an argument.

In his first art class, Dalton ends up drawing a picture of the red door used to enter The Further. Meanwhile Josh begins being haunted by the spirit of a man, eventually discovering that it is his father Ben Burton who he believed abandoned his family when he was young. Dalton attends a frat party with his roommate Chris, where he sees the ghost of a student that’s constantly vomiting. After accidentally going into The Further again, Chris shows Dalton a YouTube video of Specs and Tucker, explaining how astral projection works, which leads to a clip of Elise Rainier talking about The Further.

Dalton attempts to astral project again while Chris watches over his body, she is then attacked by an unseen entity and her screams alert Dalton, who rushes back to his body and sees that the entity is the red-faced demon that tormented him as a child. After being warned by Chris to stop using his abilities, Dalton receives a call from his brother Foster who tells him about a recurring dream he used to have of Josh trying to kill them. This spurs Dalton’s memory and he finishes his painting, which shows a possessed Josh in front of the red door. A distressed Dalton is pulled into The Further, back to when a possessed Josh attacked them in the basement. He tackles Josh as he attempts to kill his younger self and ends up transported back to the red-faced demon's lair.

Josh begins researching his father and discovers that he killed himself while institutionalized in a mental hospital. He talks to Renai, who reveals the truth about what happened to their family a decade ago and that his father also had the ability to astral project but believed the things he saw were a result of mental illness. Foster shows them a photo of Dalton’s painting he texted and they realize Dalton is in danger. Renai helps Josh to go back into The Further to rescue their son.

With Dalton trapped in his lair, the demon possesses his body and attempts to kill Chris but is stopped when Josh manages to find and free Dalton. The demon chases them through the red door and Josh stays behind to keep it shut so Dalton will be safe, Dalton returns to his body and paints over his red door painting with black paint, which in turn seals the real door and The Further permanently.

Josh then meets his father's spirit, who guides him back to the living world. Once back, Josh agrees to have dinner with Renai and the kids, hinting at a possible reunion. As he leaves he unknowingly meets Elise’s spirit, who tells him he has a bright future ahead of him. Josh then drives to Dalton’s college, where the father and son reconcile as Dalton presents a painting of Josh carrying a young Dalton out of The Further."

The whole plot of this movie is... alright, it was ok, it was good but sometimes confused me a lot... so, yeah

The movie was filmed by Autumn Eakin, who was known for The Invitation & INSECURE. She did the cinematography for Insidious: The Red Door, and she did a really good job on these scenes, I love the scene where everything just silent but there is something appeared out of nowhere secretly before the jumpscare (classic James Wan), but there is only one problem, tho... some of the jumpscares didn't get me, some of them are just... cliché. But again, she did really well on this

Patrick Wilson & Jason Blum hired a lot of editors, I'm gonna say they also did really a good job on this. From the trailer to the full movie, *Chef Kiss* amazing glow-up. Yeah, that's all I can say

The Motion Picture Soundtrack was created by my boy Joseph Bishara! He's always making an amazing soundtrack for all James Wan movies, like... Listen to his music, man! They always sound creepy-suspicious and a throwback to the first (Except the intro soundtrack, he didn't bring back the "Messed Up" violin in the intro)

Patrick Wilson - Josh Lambert
Ty Simpkins - Dalton Lambert
Rose Byrne - Renai Lambert
Andrew Astor - Foster Lambert
Lin Shaye (My favorite) - Elise Rainier

I love how Patrick Wilson, Susane Scheel, & Terri Taylor brings all the OG's back for the final installment of Lamberts Family's Last Haunt. Again, there is a problem with their acting. In the ending, they did the Lipstick-Demon looks goofy, should've kept the one in the final trailer. But still love the acting

Let's recap all sections from this one post, The plot is okay, Cinematography is fine, bad but still fine, the editing is alright, they did a good job on this movie, the soundtrack sounds amazing except for the intro and the acting is amazing.

I give it a...

6.7/10. Bad movie, but still good and watchable

Critics' Consensus in the movie is different than I did for the video game. In this one, I will show you the critics on Rotten Tomatoes & IMDb, so here it is the actual critics.

from what Rotten Tomatoes thinks

69% on Audience Scores

from what IMDb thinks
