Saturday is Horror Day #143 - Insidious: The Red Door

 Insidious: The Red Door


Josh Lambert (Patrick Wilson) and his family have been through a lot, especially Josh and his son Dalton, who both experience astral projection. They decide to put everything aside. Josh and Dalton are hypnotized into forgetting everything that took that year, and all knowledge of the Further.








Nine years go by, life goes on. Josh and Renai (Rose Byrne) are divorced, and there is a strain in the relationship between Josh and his kids. When Josh's mother dies, the family assembles for the funeral, just before Dalton is set to leave for college. Renai urges Josh to offer to drive Dalton, which he does, and Dalton reluctantly accepts. Upon arrival at the university, Josh tries to help Dalton be more social by giving him a flyer/invitation to a frat party, although Dalton insists that isn't his scene. They find his dorm room and then when his roommate enters, he finds it's a girl named Chris (Sinclair Daniel).  


Dalton is taking an art class, and the teacher tells the students to reach deep inside of them for a memory, but when he does, he doesn't understand what the red door means. But he is starting to see things he can't explain. He and Chris decide to get to the bottom of things, but at what cost?



I love the Insidious movies, especially Patrick Wilson, and I don't think this one disappoints. There is a definite creep factor, and the way the tension builds is wonderful. I think that beneath the surface story of the father and son getting back the time that was lost, it's about healing and letting go and moving on. Look for a surprise appearance at the end of the film! All in all a satisfactory watch. I believe this will be the last of the series.I'll give this film 4 Stars.
