Insidious: The Red door
Insidious: The Red Door is the latest chapter in the horror saga that began in 2010 with Insidious, directed by Patrick Wilson (also starring) and written by Scott Teems from a story by Leigh Whannell. The film takes up the story of the Lambert family, who must face once and for all the demons that haunt them from the world of the afterlife. Josh (Wilson) and Dalton (Ty Simpkins), father and son, must enter deeper than ever into the dark kingdom to discover the secret behind the red door, the source of all their nightmares.
The film is proposed as a conclusive finale of the saga, but fails to convince or scare. Wilson's direction is flat and predictable, without the mastery and inventiveness of James Wan and Leigh Whannell, who had been able to create a disturbing and original atmosphere in the first two chapters. The script is confusing and repetitive, recycling the same elements from the previous films without adding anything new or interesting. The characters are underdeveloped and lack charismatic, and the actors seem bored and tired of their roles. The film is based on easy and loud jump scares, which do nothing but irritate the viewer rather than terrify him.
Insidious: The Red Door is a disappointing and pointless film, which does no credit to the saga to which it belongs. It is a commercial and superficial product, which exploits the name of a successful series without offering anything of value. The film is a failure as both horror and family drama, and fails to engage or excite. It is a film to avoid, unless you are avid fans of the saga or lovers of the poorer genre.
