Patrick Wilson faces his claustrophobic fears in the latest TV spot for “Insidious: The Red Door,” the fifth installment in the chilling “Insidious” franchise. Returning to its roots, this film follows the events of the first two movies, with Wilson reprising his role as Josh alongside Rose Byrne as Renai Lambert. In addition to his acting role, Wilson takes on the directorial duties for the first time.
The new clip, released by Blumhouse, shows Josh undergoing an MRI scan, still haunted by the events of “Insidious: Chapter 2” a decade later. As Josh finds himself trapped inside the malfunctioning machine, he encounters a malevolent demonic presence, heightening the suspense for viewers. Wilson aims to deliver scares through the characters’ traumas rather than relying on cheap jump scares. He explained that the film delves into the effects of ten years on the Lambert family and their emotional journey, promising an intense and harrowing experience.
The return of the Lambert family marks their first appearance since 2013. The franchise took a detour with prequels in 2015 and 2018, focused on the beloved character Elise Rainier, played by Lin Shaye. Despite her character’s demise in the first film, Shaye remains part of the franchise through old videotapes, offering guidance to the family. Alongside familiar faces, the infamous “Lipstick-Face” demon makes a menacing comeback in “The Red Door,” adding to the suspenseful atmosphere. With a decade-long build-up, the film serves as the concluding chapter for the Lambert family’s story.
However, the end of their story doesn’t mark the end of the “Insidious” franchise. A sixth spin-off film, titled “Thread: An Insidious Tale,” has been announced and will continue the supernatural saga. Deadline reports that Mandy Moore and Kumail Nanjiani are in talks to star in this upcoming installment.
Prepare for a claustrophobic journey as “Insidious: The Red Door” arrives in theaters on July 7th.
