Insidious: the Red Door Review

Rating: 1.5 out of 5.

This is what the latest Insidious movie is trying to show us. With Dalton going to college and Josh Lambert facing new demons in his surroundings, trying to escape the past is his main goal right now but will they really overcome the past?

Remember that Dalton was young when they started this journey, imagine having these crazy mystery in your life and now you’re in college and still your father and your family is facing the same. Just wow.

I think I don’t need to create a narrative to introduce the movie coz we have been watching Insidious and Conjuring movie series for so long and I think the next movie they will play won’t be that exciting. I’m not giving this series a shade but I think there’s so many Insidious movies that were released already within my existence and none of them had passed to my liking, maybe because the movie is just too predictable and the usual horror it’s giving us is actually tolerable like romcom movies. What I mean here is that they need to stop making stories like this and just this month, they released another one, and I believe it is the 5th entry for this movie series.

There’s not much to say about the movie aside from having it very dark, like the Batman Begins and Dark Knight dark. I really don’t enjoy too dark movies, it’s like you actually don’t see anything at all. At least The Blair Witch Project has more light than this movie, considering the quality of that movie.

This is rather an eye-opener for other upcoming horror movies that viewers nowadays don’t really get scared of the same thing all over again. We already anticipated it and I think you need to up the game. Slasher movies are starting to be alive again but they actually try to relive the predictable yet exciting feeling when you see the killer chasing people in the movie. I’m actually looking forward for movies like Conjuring and Insidious take a rest, like this plot doesn’t work anymore, let’s try having a new movie that will tackle more. We need more substance.

All in all, I will give this a 60% wonderroanne rating, due lack of substance and just the narrative doesn’t really catch anyones interest. Well, it’s for you to judge too. Tell me what you think about it.
