One movie buff tweeted, “#InsidiousReview: ★★★½ #TheRedDoor is a well-made and atmospheric horror film. #PatrickWilson makes a strong directorial debut, capturing the scares & suspense of the #InsidiousMovie.”
The final chapter of the Insidious franchise picks up days after the terrifying events that unfolded in the Lambert family home. Patrick Wilson, who is also making his directorial debut with the film, returns in the leading role. He is joined by Ty Simpkins, Rose Byrne, Andrew Astor, Sinclair Daniel, and Hiam Abbass. The film is based on characters created by Leigh Whannell.
