“Insidious: The Red Door”

7.1

A return to form of sorts for the franchise. We’re back to the family dynamics that gave the first two films their gravitas. A stronger entry, but far from the strongest. Patrick Wilson’s debut behind the camera is fairly strong in parts, but overall you can feel pieces that could have benefitted from some experience. For a fifth entry, it was better than I expected, and some of the scare sequences are downright nerve-wracking.

Open the red door, and let’s tip toe through the tulips into the further once more… and if anyone can tell me what the hell was meant by this ending, I’d appreciate it. It had me doing a double take like “It Follows.”
