Yesterday, we shared the news that Insidious: The Red Door, the fifth film in the Insidious horror franchise (you can read our review HERE), has officially become the highest-grossing entry in the franchise at the worldwide box office, with its $174,382,000 leaving previous record holder Insidious: The Last Key‘s final count of $172,811,971 in the dust. Now the film has been given a premium VOD release, showing up on outlets like Vudu and Amazon (rent or buy it at THIS LINK).
Insidious: The Red Door marks the feature directorial debut of Insidious and Insidious: Chapter 2 star Patrick Wilson. The screenplay was written by Halloween Kills co-writer Scott Teems, based on an idea from Leigh Whannell, who created the franchise with James Wan. The story catches up with the family from the first two films, the Lamberts, ten years after the end of Insidious 2. Josh Lambert heads east to drop his son Dalton off at an idyllic, ivy-covered university. However, Dalton’s college dream becomes a nightmare when the repressed demons of his past suddenly return to haunt them both.
Wilson reprises the role of Josh Lambert, with Rose Byrne returning as his wife Renai, Ty Simpkins as their son Dalton, and Andrew Astor as their son Foster. Also in the cast are Sinclair Daniel (Madam Secretary), Peter Dager (Demente Criminal), and Hiam Abbass (Blade Runner 2049).
Insidious: The Red Door comes to us from Screen Gems and Stage 6 Films. Jason Blum produced the film for Blumhouse, alongside James Wan, Leigh Whannell, and Oren Peli. Steven Schneider, Ryan Turek, and Brian Kavanaugh Jones serve as executive producers.
Sony already has the next Insidious movie, a spin-off called Thread: An Insidious Tale, in the works. Jeremy Slater is writing/directing and Mandy Moore and Kumail Nanjiani are attached to star. That project just has to wait for the Hollywood strikes to come to an end before it can move forward.
