Insidious: The Red Door, the new addition in our beloved horror franchise, follows the same old Lambert family from 1 and 2, leaving us nostalgic but a little bit bummed. The pacing of the story is what majorly fails, along with the fact that it fails to deliver a twist in the loop in the Insidious style we love so much.

Not really, but there are some positives to it, and maybe, just maybe, it’s setting up the franchise for new things. It is lovely to see the same kids grow up and play the same roles again. Ty Simpkins is particularly good in this, but a standout character is Sinclair Daniel’s “Chris Winslow.” Her comic timing is perfect, and we almost forgot the lack of Specs & Tucker in the movie (almost). While it is said that Dalton and Josh go deeper into The Further this time around, it looks like the franchise has gotten lost in the deep and fails to impress. Still, as a drama, it’s pretty fun, still has the sinister eeriness of an Insidious movie, and also carries the same jumpscares forward.
