The Insidious franchise’s fifth installment, created by Leigh Whannell and James Wan, is experiencing a makeover before its scheduled release on July 7. Initially titled Insidious: Fear the Dark, the movie will now incorporate one of the series’ most famous visual motifs, rebranding itself as Insidious: The Red Door.

The upcoming installment of the Insidious franchise is set to take audiences to even darker corners of The Further, and the recent title change has us all the more excited about how far this journey will take us into the unknown.

Insidious: The Red Door is a fitting and ominous name that taps into one of the series’ most iconic visual motifs. The red doors have long served as gateways to the lairs of the franchise’s most sinister villains and as portals to The Further itself.

It’s clear that the red door holds a significant role in the Insidious universe, particularly in the Lambert family’s repeated hauntings. In the 2018 prequel Insidious: The Last Key, Elise Rainier, the franchise’s paranormal investigator, inadvertently leaves the door to the Lambert residence open as she departs The Further after defeating Key Face. Her mistake results in the family being trapped in a never-ending cycle of hauntings, with multiple trips to The Further in search of peace.

With Insidious: The Red Door, it seems that we’ll be delving deeper into the mythology of the franchise and exploring the significance of the red door even further. Perhaps we’ll even see a return of an iconic Darth Maul looking villain?

Patrick Wilson

Insidious: The Red Door, picks up a decade after the events of the second film. Plot specifics are being kept hush-hush, but we do know that the movie will follow Josh Lambert (Patrick Wilson) as he drops off his son Dalton (Ty Simpkins) at college in the idyllic East Coast. Unfortunately, the family’s past soon resurfaces to haunt them, forcing the family to revisit The Further to put an end to the terror once and for all.

In a recent interview with Collider, Rose Byrne, one of the stars of the Insidious franchise, shared some details about the upcoming film. According to Byrne, the concept for Insidious: The Red Door originated from her co-star, Patrick Wilson, who will be making his directorial debut with the project while series co-creator Leigh Whannell writes.

After taking a break from the Lambert family, the storyline will focus on Elise’s character, Byrne noted that it felt like a natural progression to revisit the family and see how they’ve moved on from their past traumas.

Byrne also hinted at the possibility of another sequel, should the new film prove to be another hit for Blumhouse. However, the project would require the involvement of Wilson, Ty Simpkins, and Whannell to make it work. Fans will have to wait and see how Insidious: The Red Door performs at the box office, but if it’s anything like its predecessors, it’s sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
