The Insidious movie series is coming to a close (or is it?) with a return to the Lambert family, the haunted folks of the first two films. In Insidious: The Red Door, star Patrick Wilson does double duty as director, and Rose Byrne, Ty Simpkins, and Andrew Astor all return to the franchise for what’s being called “the final chapter of the Lambert family’s terrifying saga.”
But scary things do have a habit of not staying dead.
Insidious: The Red Door is written by Scott Teems (Halloween Kills, Firestarter), working from a story by Insidious creator Leigh Whannell. The synopsis says:
To put their demons to rest once and for all, Josh (Patrick Wilson) and a college-aged Dalton (Ty Simpkins) must go deeper into The Further than ever before, facing their family’s dark past and a host of new and more horrifying terrors that lurk behind the red door.
In an interview with IGN, first-time feature film director Wilson said, “I wanted to unpack everything that happened at the end of Insidious 2. I really wanted to finish this Lambert trilogy and I wanted to, again, without giving the storyline away, I wanted to push this generational curse even more. What does that mean? When does a curse become a blessing? Is a blessing a curse?”
[ed note: Patrick Wilson directed this one! Leigh Whannell did the story! “Tiptoe Through the Tulips” is prominently featured! This is one of the only series that has ever legitimately creeped me out (a little) and I’m so happy right now!]
Insidious: The Red Door opens on July 7th.
