There’s more to Wilson’s film than dread though. In between the terror, the newbie director makes time for actual plot. Read full review

Having two main characters suffering from hauntings separately works against this movie’s narrative momentum, but it does allow Wilson and Teems to bounce from scare to scare, without much setup — or respite. Read full review

Insidious: The Red Door might not be the scariest installment in the franchise, but it feels a lot more human than the others before it. The character moments end up feeling more effective than some of the film's big set-pieces and, while that may bug some genre purists, those who have stuck around since the first film released over 10 years ago will be pleased.

For a first-time director, Patrick Wilson doesn’t do a bad job, but he’s working with tropes that have already been worked to death. It’s time to close this carnival of souls down. Read full review

Callbacks to other “Insidious” films are half-hearted, and “The Red Door” seems to give up on trying to make all of the pieces fit after a while. What does work are a handful of scares in the film’s first half. Read full review

IndieWire David Ehrlich

Spread thin between that father-son drama and the jolts intended to galvanize it, Wilson’s creaky debut underdelivers on both. Read full review

The Guardian Charles Bramesco

The writing expends more effort on teasing out the logistics of seeing dead people than making the phenomenon frightening or emotionally resonant. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s not a bad movie at all, but it isn’t as good as the first or the second movies. Not enough scare jumps to make me feel paranoid at night like the first one did… the story also felt a little disappointing, a little boring, especially towards the end… that ‘happy ending’, we didn’t want that. We don’t want Insidious to end. But all in all, still a solid 8 for me!
I’d still recommend it for newcomers and Insidious fans. People told me so many bad things about The Last Key, i decided to not listen to them, and that movie ended up being a solid 9 for me! Comes to say that you should not always care about what others say.

One last thing: we all stayed past the credits… it seems there might be another movie in the making. If you decide to watch this movie, make sure to stay past the credits, may be a short little clip, but it does make you think they are busy with another movie, hopefully a little better than this one.… Expand

In short, a good astral, I liked the continuation and completion of this story, but half of the film is summing up the essence, so it turned out boring.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great plot. I liked the message about greed, but I think it could have been executed better. For example, I didn't really understand the scene were the President of Belarus tried to assault the girl (which says something because I'm above average intelligence so if I don't understand something, it's objectively a big deal). Lazy acting, but *wonderful* direction. Overall, I think it could have been more political than it was. 6/10.… Expand

I thought this franchise had hit rock bottom with The Last Key, but they decided to prove me wrong.

It's conflicting to see that the film that masqueraded itself as the grand culmination of this saga ends up being the most incoherent, the most banal and, above all, the least scary of themI thought this franchise had hit rock bottom with The Last Key, but they decided to prove me wrong.

Insidious: The Red Door is at heart a drama patched together with moments of horror rather than a true horror film. And most surprising of all, that approach could have worked wonders for it with a better script and a better director.

To be able to explore the aftermath of trauma for the father and son in this story had elements that could have been explored in a way that would have given a great twist to what this franchise had done in four previous films, but Insidious is Insidious and remains true to its predictable nature, and we have to settle for an assemblage of jump scares, abysmally dark sets where you can barely see **** a woefully underwhelming "final" showdown against the popular lipstick-faced demon, and an emotional catharsis that provokes nothing.

Rose Byrne only appears in a few sequences in this film and the tedium on her face in all of them reflects my own feelings.
This franchise had at hand the potential for a change, for a smooth metamorphosis that would have allowed it to reinvent itself, yet it opted for the path of least resistance, thereby surrendering to irrelevance.

Jason Blum said that after this one he would put the franchise to rest for a long time, but it seems that he forgot about the spin-off that was already announced.… Expand

Un film assez peu utile comme Annabelle 3 qui apporte très peu d'éléments concernant la lignée des films. Niveau suspense c'est moyen, un scénario prévisible usant beaucoup du passé pour en faciliter sa construction en recyclant davantage les mêmes antagonistes.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Disgustingly poor compared to all previous entries in the franchise. And yes, like everything else on earth right now, it's woke. Get ready for strong, independent black women...weak, emasculated white men, men being depicted as sexual deviants or being unable to 'seek help,' assaults on men by women which are supposed to be funny, and a man being nervous that he's accidentally sharing a room with a woman whilst she, in turn, has no fear and literally calls it 'liberal.' Oh, and the man studies art whilst the black woman studies maths...Sure. If you say so.

Wokety woke woke. Woke woke.… Expand
